I have a 1.0 xbox, WinRAR, an Xecuter 3, FlashBIOS menu 3.01, and version 3029 BIOS from xbins. After downloading 3029 BIOS, I went to WinRAR and extracted the files to a folder on my desktop successfully. I opened up Nero and set it all up for a CD-RW option. Then I took the 3029.bin BIOS over to the location it should be in, everything turned Capitals like it should. Then the 100MB Dummy file did the same thing. After I burned the Memorex CD-RW, I took it to my xbox, turned the box on w/ a 512 Bank selected, (my 1MB Bank got screwed up b/c I loaded a 3.03 menu instead of a BIOS on accident). I chose BIOS from CD option, it opened the DVD tray, I put in the CD-RW and closed the tray. A menu said waiting for drive... and after about a minute, spit the CD back out and said enter CD Flashing Mode, or whatever that blinking yellow message is. I put it back in and got the same results time after time. Finally it pulled up the menu and said CD Label: X3_BIOS, and below said no updates found, halting. So I am not sure if the problem is my CD, Motherboard, X3, or setup of burning. Can someone help me?
Thanks,

Hi there iv had that porblem

When you burn the files to disk the X3_3029.bin has to be labled bios.bin for the chip to pick it up.

If its not done like that then it will come up with the message you got.
