I have a modded xbox (Xenium ICE) that when powered up goes from the flubber screen to the "Xbox Needs Service" screen. When powering up with Eject button, Xenium OS 2.0.1 comes up and is functional. But, will not load games or anything else. The owner deleted all of the files on the box without making a backup. He prolly didn't know what he was doing....but that's beside the point... The chip seems to be working ok, but I think the drive is FUBAR. Can this hard drive be resurrected? I tried to ftp the box and transfer files from another modded xbox, but that didnt work either. Other than installing a new hard drive, what can I do to fix this one? Thanks in advance.
Also, In the Xbox requires service screen, there are no error code numbers. When I change the bios bank switch on the chip...the xenium screen startsm then says loading.....then HALT!... Help please!
your best option at this point is to find a few torrent sites and search for a program called Slayer 2.7 This is an auto installer disc that can rebuild your hard drive (stock or larger types) After you get this you can take that ISO and burn it to a DVD. Stick it in then reset the xbox and it should load. then follow these steps. 1. find the option to format the hard drive, it will have 2 options. one for a retail drive and one for larger hard drives in case you switched it out or want to switch it out. Personally at this point you might as well look into buying a bigger one since the stock one is pretty useless. format the drive. 2. after that you want to install EvoX to the C: partition i have only used Slayer 2.6 so i am not sure if it will give you the option to install any other dashboards, but if it does you want the one you plan to use on the C: partition 3. then the last step would be that there is an option to install all the apps and dashboards and such. Usually it will give you a cchoice between installing them to E: or F: you want to use the one with the most space which with Slayer is the F: choose that and let it install until complete. now take out the slayer disc and reset the Xbox and you should have a fully functional system with a ton of great stuff loaded onto it. mine boots two ways, pressing eject will bring up the MS Dash. Pressing the power button will boot to my EvoX dash. But i have a different chip so you would have to test yours to see what each one does.
Thanks for the reply steimy, The drive in it now is a 160G drive. I also have a Slayer's disc that I made and have installed on other Xboxes. I have tried formatting the drive but it gave me the folders in the drive to format...not the drive itself... I'll give it a go again....I will format the drive and pop in my Slayer's Auto Installer 2.6 disc....I could get 2.7 but right now I just want to load anything to make it functional again....I'll let ya know how it goes.. Thanks again!!
Well, I have formatted all of the partitians on the drive. The installer disc wont boot up. If I FTP the box, which files and to which partitian do I install the bios, Slayer's Auto Installer? Thanks so much for your help!
