What does unknown bios mean?

I've been trying to played back-ups of games and im not sure if its because my xbox says i have unknown bios. do i have to get certain ones to play the backups?

 

ok how is your xbox modded with a chip or softmod also if it's a chip did you ever flash the bios....

 

it has a chip and i'm not even sure what the flashed thing is, all i know is that someone else did it for me and it was my ex stepdads friend.

 

It seems like he flashed the chip with the wrong bios. Do you know which modchip you have?

 

i dont know. i do know its xecuter but im not sure if thats what its called

 

open up your box and read the chip name for us, we probably can help you out from there!

 

does it play burnt games already??

 

no it doesnt but i can save games with the dvd2xbox program

 

i cant save burnt games either

 

can you play games from you hard drive?

 

yeah i just cant play burnt games or save them, it works fine with the originals

 

Are you able to FTP?

 

i tried but i only used a ethernet cord, it didnt work and im not sur if thats why

 

You need a crossover cable.

 

I just want to be able to burn games and play them
