Re: 500gb ide not working
That's normal if you are using HeXEn. What installer disc are you using?budbandito720 wrote:Plug in 500gb ide to xbox with installer disc in, then gets stuck on xecuters bios screen and the power button light turns red..
(RoyalX's advice is good, BTW.)

Re: 500gb ide not working
Did you set you booting address correctly to where you have the app you wish to be your primary app?. It sounds like the build was successful but it isn't finding the or any app for that matter thus it stays at the bios screen. I'm not sure on the app location the disc you used is looking but it appears it isn't finding anything there to boot. It could be it is finding nothing there or what is there is a bad copy. The LED changing from green to red is indicating the bios is working and looking but finding nothing playable at that location.

Re: 500gb ide not working
Sounds a lot like HeXen or Auto-Installer disc booting up. Even with a 100% working configuration, they can take more than a minute to fully load. I imagine you could stay stuck on the BIOS splash screen for quite a while if your DVD drive is worn out.budbandito720 wrote:Plug in 500gb ide to xbox with installer disc in, then gets stuck on xecuters bios screen and the power button light turns red..
BTW, anyone knows why it's so long to boot those? What are they doing that takes so much time?
