DL your bios from here: http://www.angelfire.com/theforce2/hackdabox/ Here is a little background info. on flashing your Spider chip: http://www.hackdabox.com/Spiderchip_flashing.html Since you have the Cromwell on there, it may not accept your bios disc. Here is a little Cromwell flashing guide from HackdaXbox's site. CROMWELL To flash your chip using this bios you will need the bios disc you made earlier and the Eurasia Pro Generic Flash Disc 1.2, Download eurasia from xbins and burn the iso onto a cdrw or dvd-r using Nero Burning Rom. Burn onto CDRW 4X or DVD-R 1x speed. choose finalize , disc at once and no multisession. Do not use CDR's as the xbox can't read them. Insert the Eurasia Pro Generic Flash Disc 1.2 at the cromwell screen. The BIOS disc is inserted once the dvd-rom drive opens automatically. The flash process is automatic.
Wrighty, I am having the same problem as you are. Did you have any luck with re-flashing it? I'm giong to do this when I get home from work today and see what I can do. If it didn't work, does anyone know what I can do to get rid of the damn linux cromwell bios? Plz help. thanks.
well i sorted it i sent my chip to a company alled "xbox-mod.co.uk" they reflashed it with the right bios for £6 i also bought an installation disc aswell for £7 it was well worth it cause i was contemplating buying a new xbox but £13 sorted it ll out try there site for more info u'll be best goi to the "contact us" on the main web page .hope it brings u joy
i see..... that didn't quite answer my question. did you try to do what pimpdawg said about burning a new bios cd and using Eurasia?
yeah it was toooo way over my head so i gave up i'm a amtuer at this game not a computer programmer lol i couldn't get my mirc to work and i downloaded a trial version and it would try to connect for ages then i could'nt get the programme to shut down even with task manager so i sacked the idea off
