Well, use record now max. Don't make an xiso either, whenever I did, the xbox never read it.

When you start record now max, make a "data disk". Click Edit, then choose recordning options.

If you use a CD/rw, make sure the recording type is set to "track at once - Closed". Then set the "file system" type to "UDF with Juliet", not that "Microsoft with juliet". If you use a dvd, make sure the is also "closed". After you burn it to a cd-rw, it should be fine.


Now, your xbox frags when the chip is disabled? Hmm, that is very odd. If the chip works, then all the points should be fine. I rescently got an x2 that would frag sometimes as well. But that was do to the black cord that connects to the chip switch. The only way to find out is to disable the chip completely and see if it frags still. I'm not sure what the problem is.

If all fails, you might be able to just flash the other bank with a set of original bios lol.

new update,

I got the bios to work now...i was stupid and was trying to use xiso to make an ISO file instead of the ISO 9660 format so that was my bad. It flashed fine and booted perfect... Now im just reading up about the dashboards and stuff. I have evox 3935 so i was gonna put that on there but i also have SlaYers vrs. 2.5 installer so i was debating using that to "upgrade" my entire xbox, what do you think? The only thing i noticed is that the dashboard and stuff is a little outdated on the installer now (i think its using 3931) so i dunno if i shoudl install the version i have, and then install the rest of the apps.

Also people say to backup your eeprom and msdash/bios before you install all these apps/dashboards just incase, so you can recover if something goes wrong. Well to ftp to your PC dont you have to have a dashboard installed first anyways? and then back up the files and then install everything else?

Lastly...yes it is very wierd and frusterating...my xbox works fine when the chip is enabled but when i disable it, it is crap and it frags. Maybe is a solder splash or somethin? Im gonna take it apart today and check for it...Also ]do you think it might be the D0 point? I dunno if the top point got messed up or not (it was a b*tch for me) when i was trying to solder it, it worked out perfect on the alt. point though...But doesnt the D0 only affect the modchip if its enabled? not disabled...

I dunno but ill look into it, thanks again for your help
