Check if it is the chip or the Sata adaptor first before doing anything else. I've tried another SATA adapter but couldn't even get it to register the drive to start boot a disc. Thinking it might be a lemon but will go back and try again anyways. If that fails I could order another one of what I h...

To softmod do I need to remove the mod chip? You can just disable the chip by powering on with a quick press of the power button. Unless it always enabled. (BT wire is soldered to ground or the ground pad the chip) Not sure if just disconnecting it from the LPC would work, should work. (Just lift i...

The issue you face is you are running an aladdin chip, they have a 256kb bank & unfortunately the bios that support 2tb drives (partition tabled drives) that are 256kb don't support v1.6 Xbox. I beg to differ to that claim. Just use an M8+ bios, the one recommended for 1.6 machines on the Slaye...

Maybe I did not set it up correctly. Using 2 equal F and G partitions with 927 each and 64K clusters. I installed everything with the Slayers disc. I chose E: for the applications. I'm not sure I did everything right. Is there a guide to follow? Yep that is perfect. I was going to say make sure the...

.. Just a little update. I managed to revive it by connecting a larger 500GB IDE drive I had previously set up. From the dashboard I was able to launch a DVD boot disc and switch the bios back. It said "Microsoft" as it was starting and went to the blue dashboard. Which one is that? With ...

Thanks Rocky, will go back and double check the IDE connections. To give you some background the reason I updated the bios is because when I exit backups and the visionary app with L trigger + R trigger + start + black it would crash to error 7 instead of returning to XBMC dash. I did not have this ...

Hi all, Running the Aladdin XT on a 1.6 Xbox. 2TB wd green sata drive with adapter Using Slayers 3.5 lite I flashed *FEC* M8+ bios and now Xbox crashes to error 7 after getting past the now blue X on startup which used to be green with sound. Any ideas how to fix it? I've tried several boot discs ot...

Hello : I'm trying to increase the storage capacity on 1.6 Xbox with the Aladdin modchip I've successfully changed the HDD to a 500GB IDE drive on another Xbox but IDE plays nice so that makes sense it would go smoothly. From my research it seems like SATA drives are a hassle with hit or miss result...

To be clear, all your Xbox has is a stock HDD and an unmodded MS dash? Yes, a stock HDD (appears to be a western digital brand) which is 8GB I think. When I used the Slayer Evo X 3.3 installer boot disc it displays a couple of partitions like C: 4,000 something D : 3,0000 something and F : 0 and E ...

Try the latest HeXEn shambles mod update. It is a bootable disc. Search google. Or try another boot disc, up to you. The general idea is boot from the DVD. Optionally flash a different bios. Personally, I lean toward ind-bios. It supports very large drives and is customizable by a text file unlike ...

Hi all I'm new here but I"m not to XBMC :) Just got my first Xbox a couple of weeks ago (yeah I know I'm a late bloomer). Today I took the plunge and I did my first ever modchip installation with the Aladdin XT Plus 2 on a 1.6 Xbox. I think it's working because it displays"Evox" text ...
