problem with Epox

[sawdust]

hi i am new to the xbox seen (mainly do ps2s) any way chipped a v1 xbox with a X-Ecuter 2.1 Lite chip loaded the bios and all working well put the epox disk i made in and loaded the software. now the problem xbox boots up fine and loads all games including back ups with no problem. but when i connect it to a network i can only view/mod the c drive as D comes up as empty despite having a game loaded? and F cant be acessed. plus when i turn off the chip i get an error screen telling me to send my xbox to be fixed but when booted with the chip on the epox dashboard comes up
another thing is that i cant access the ms dashboard from the epox dash
i have followed instructions from the web site
what i did,
loaded the disk and draged the files from it to C drive on the xbox(after backing up C drive on my pc and copying the xboxdashboard file)
renaimed the xboxdash file that was on my computer to ms xbox dashboard file that i had on the pc and reloaded it on to the xbox drive

any ideas of what happened and why the network is not picking up D drive
i have tried both cross over cable to pc and pluging in to my LAN network though a swich and both give me the same result?
what i am useing is EvolutionX Build 3935
thanks
