denton Posted July 29, 2022 Report Share Posted July 29, 2022 (edited) Hey, I have installed the chip successfully and flashed the M8plus16 bios to the 256k slot but my DVD drive is toast and wont read my setup dvd (I tried tweaking the pot in stages all the way down to 500 ohms but nothing). I have installed and formatted a new harddrive within Xblast but is there a way to install a dashboard without a dvd drive? Is there a Bios with a built in FTP server for example? Thanks!

KaosEngineer Posted July 29, 2022 Report Share Posted July 29, 2022 You can use FATXplorer 3.0 Beta to read/write data from/to an Xbox hard drive on a Windows PC. Edit: FATXplorer 3.0 Beta can format a new hard drive for the Xbox too. What type of hard drive do you have installed in your console: SATA or IDE? You will need that type of interface available on your PC to access the FATX-formatted Xbox hard drive. A USB-to-IDE/SATA combo adapter with an external power supply works well. If the hard drive has to be locked, not required for a hard modded console, a USB 2.0 adapter has a better chance of being supported than a USB 3.0 adapter. However, some USB 3.0 adapters will work. Check smartmontools.org's USB Device Support webpage for a list of compatible USB adapters and external USB hard drive enclosures.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
