Not able to boot from optical

Post by aardal1 »

Hello guys!

Im new to this scene.

picked up a Xecuter 3 modded xbox v 1.4 last week.
Short story: i messed up the file system trying to update xbmc via ftp. Ended up formating the drive via the X3 config live bios (bios build 3294)

I have tried to burn several recovery cd/dvd, but cannot get the xbox to boot from it. Before i formated the hdd it booted original games fine...
I have dowloaded "Auto-Installer.Deluxe.v4.53". Have burned it on both verbatim and TDK DVD-R with 4x speed. (Philips optical drive in the xbox)
It only boots to the bios.
I have also tried different recovery tools. for example Heimdalls hexen engineering disk. I burned this to CD-RW and DVD-R. No boot.

Is there any settings i am missing, how can this be rocket sience?

Hope someone can help :)

you can format in x3cl then use ftp to get files across instead of using the dvd drive?

just dont format f/g if it is a big drive instead use xb partitioner once you have a dash on c/e.
you just need to extract the iso and ftp across what you need.

you could try clean the laser lense and or pot tweak the laser.
