make sure you flash with the bios made for your Xbox version.

check if eject+power button gets you into the backup bios.

yes i can get into the back up bios sometimes when the banks are selected 1-4 and also when i push power button quick tap it still wants to boot from msdash red x but that never worked on my box so it shuts down and boots with chip enabled blue x but if i select banks on off off on thats where i put my m8 bios and when i boot to 256 backup purple x with those banks selected it boots to backup bios just fine but any other banks selected seems not always wanting to boot to backup

try to select bank 1234 and boot into backup bios.

try reflash the bios with your 1959 bios.

nice, guess thats problem is ruled out.
hmm, you could prolly try to flash it on bank 5678, but then you most likely overwrite your m8 bios.

heh, strange.

Computer recognizes Drive but JF doesnt

This is my first attempt of flashing with a laptop. My comp sees the drive connected but JF wont see it. Its a BENQ drive. Any thoughts?

Port IO installed. Right framework. Try half tray open technique.
