X-Box Help Please.

[Episode]

ok i bought X2 Pro Complete.. now im not shure what version but im thinking 1.2.... it came with a serial that connects on the back of the X-Box with 4 switches.. what they do im not real shure of.. now i go it soldered on..

so i tried to burn Evolution X Version 1_8_458, my X-box is a version 1.0 to cd-rw.. I know i cannot see the files on windows.. so its the right file structure..

Problem is that i have no clue wtf to do the cd wont load into my X-Box so i cannot load the dash.. im clueless as to what the switches on the back are even for.. i read tons of tutorials, but problem is they all ned Dash..

so my Question is What is the next step?? im wanting to just attempt to get the dash working and put 1 game on the HD just to learn to use the new Dash.. but how do i know if the Chip is even Working??? i am a newb and bought X2"Pro" and not light so that means i dont have a bios?? my assupmtion was im using the default bios whatever that is.. and i load dash on the flash the chip with.."No clue what bios i should get" if i had a name i am shure i could find it on my own.

chip is soldered on per directions from XBox Scene.
it loads up saying X-Box.. With Microsoft Logo..

Please someone give me a hand?? Thanks.

My guess is that it is the BIOS issue, but I know next to nothing about the xbox. We do have a couple of people around here that know tons. Oh, and hey... welcome to the forums!

Tnx man i have had this mod chip for over 4 months i finally got the balls to install the damn thing, now i feel like a total freekin newb. i dont know what to even do next, feel like i shouldnt have even done it lol... still hunting, the X2 site is only forums now so that really bytes, i know i have 1 jumper on the mod chip supose to be on to flash and off to not be able to flash.. how the hell do i get the bios on the chip??

im guessing now that pro does not come with a loaded bios.. ::Sigh::

EDIT: Ok i have a X2 Pro 2.0 :EDIT

[Episode]

Ok seems to work now.. only one problem, i turn bank 3 and 4 on, with a working 1.0 bios.. and it loads the X-Box screen with Microsoft logo. now if it wont read the cd/rw with Evo does this most likely mean
1 the modchip is not working?
2 the cdrw is to generic?
3 the dvd rom cannot read the cdrw type media?

Sorry to post so much im just trying my ass off to learn =]

EDIT: PS:
bank 3 and 4 are using- EvoX D.6.bin
bank 1 and 2 are using- EvoX D.6 EjectFix.bin

think those are working, atleast when i turn the switch 3 and 4 so far it loads up. 1 and 2 untested.

Did you eventually get the CDRW working? (evox)

Do you know what type of DVD drive your box has? Some cannot read CDRs/CDRW, so you may have to burn it on a DVD, boot with it, and then install Evox.
Also the logo will not/should not change until after you install the new dash / flash the BIOS, IIRC.

[Episode]

No still have not got ti working.. i dont have new cd/rw right now maybe tomorrow hate waiting till stores open =P, but still have not.. and damn man i dont have or know anyone with a dvd burner so looks like im screwed, unless i can get to burn, or ill wait nxt month or a few later to get a dvd burner..btw i looked for that tutorial on how to tell what dvd you have, couldnt find it . so i dont know what i got.

what is best cd/rw media to use?? man i have been up all night learning solo.. tell yah im liking this! =] lol... also what is best bios to snag? im not asking for a link or anything just file names ^^ ty for all your help aswell, ill be sitting watching forums althou im gettin pretty tired.

but thanks for some of the help.
