Cant Load any Bios. Black Screen

[Fullcrimson]

So my xbox was working fine. I thought there was a wire getting hit by the fan so i opened it up and unplugged the hard drive to see if i could see anything. I didnt so i plugged the hard drive back in and now i cant get the xbox to boot. it just goes to a black screen. the light on the front stays green but its just a black screen. My xbox is hard modded with a xenium chip and xbox HD+. i can boot into the xenium menu and ftp into the console but i can only see "C" and E" folders. i did make sure the cable to the HDD was plugged in all the way.

Is the hard drive spinning?

I have had the red and or the yellow wire get a bad connection in the 4 pin power plug. The yellow wire is for the stepper motor that spins the disk.

Try connecting another HDD and see if you get a different response like a error message on the screen

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

XeniumOS cannot access extended partitions, F and/or G, on hard drives larger than 137GBs.  It does not contain LBA48 support.

Which Xenium OS Launch Menu item (aka BIOS) are you booting?

These are the two options i have to boot into in the xenium menu. Sorry for the glare. The HDD does seem to be spinning up. I put my hand on it and i can feel and hear it.

This is my "C" Folder

Try renaming evox.xbe on the C drive to evoxdash.xbe
