No DVD Bios Issue

Recommended Posts

I used EVtool to create a custom bios without the DVD drive check and EvoX Logo. This allows my modchipped xbox to operate without a disc drive. However, my other xboxes never get past the boot sequence when I try to use the same bios flashed to the TSOP of a 1.0 and two 1.4s. The xbox logo disappears and I get hung on a black screen indefinitely. They boot to the dashboard if a DVD drive is installed just fine.

Does the no DVD bios only really work with a modchip?

I have used he EvoXM8 set to no DVD on all versions and on modchips and onboard bios with no problems. 

You can test by unplugging the 40 pin IDE and leave the yellow power lead connected and see if it boots Ok

I add a link in the DVD power connector that tells the mother board the DVD tray is closed.

Like this.

Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.

I'm still hung on a black screen. I guess something is going wrong while flashing with Xblast net flash. Any suggestions?

Is the hard drive from a soft modded Xbox?

I stuck an unlocked stock HDD from another xbox and it boots fine, so it's definitely a HDD issue. I'll use my PC to reformat the drives and they should be good to go.

Thanks for the help.

I would use a partition wipe program on you PC to fully remove any trace of the Xbox and then use Fatxplorer v3.0 beta to format for the Xbox.
