not our problem if some ppl are not technical enough or who dont understand simple scripts
and you see judging from this thread MOST people dont
mmmm 20 replies and 127,761 bios downloads - do the math
After having read all the comments here so far and having read all the files that came with the new bios, I think almost everybody here, including xecuter would do a lot better than to just post stupid comments and give no help whatsoever.
Firstly, nowhere does it say do or don't copy the script file to your xbox. (could be uselful, not everybody is a master of science and technology).
Secondly, from my understanding of programming and scripting, even if you did copy the sample script file, it does nothing, all lines are commented out.
Additionally, the opening comment in the sample script file can be misleading, since most people tend to just skim over info sometimes . ("Sample x3 install script for fat32 formatted USB "pendrives".)
So let's see if perhaps there is another cause for the lost partitions and see if we can help in finding a way to get the data back if it is lost.

Very good constructive post. As I was reading I was going to say something similar but you pipped me to the post

Thank you Team Xecuter for a Awesome job on The New bios I love the option to disable the DVD on startup or restarting the XBOX without taking the disk out every time and the Skinning option is Awesome to.
Thanks again
Thanks again
Notice, I did not use formatted, but lost in my post. Like I said if you run the sample script "as-is" it will do nothing, so it may be that the partions are not formatted. He gives too little information as to what he actually did.
But at the same time, it serves no purpose whatsoever to post nasty or demeaning remarks, and it certainly does not impress me and I suspect a lot of other people too. Such remarks, do nothing to indicate intelligence or expertise on a product, more than likely, the lack thereof.

this is why people are phucking up their sh*t. because they don't read anyting. beacuse they are stupid or lazy. either way it is not xecuter's fault that people are stupid or lazy. you yourself just proved that you didn't read didly squat.
Actually it is neither a sin or crime to be stupid or lazy, but it is always a good idea to get all the info before ranting and raving.
Here is the sample script file downloaded from xbins today and untouched after being unrared. So there appears to be different sample script files around.

that's fine, just make sure you get your facts straight and read up before you post complaining about sh*t.newnickhere said:
My question is when all these scripts get written, are widely available on the net, and there is no need for hardly any knowledge, won't that create a generation of uber-noobs?
Not to dog the noobs by any means...

maybe its just me, but i dont use those skins. the original background is alot nicer. more bios like.

it appears that they re-uploaded a new archive with the commented script in it. WISE decision, as there are many lazy n00bs that will delete their sh*t and then come here bitching because they are too lazy to read documentation.

is that a REAL photo of you in your avatar? because if it is it will explain ALOT.
You are the biggest douche bag. Why are you starting sh*t with everyone? Go somewhere else if you are going to be doing that sh*t. Honestly. How bad would you feel if that really was his pic as his avatar?BlackSabbath said:

No one said you had to use the scripts, just go the hard way if you like it that way, but why make your life harder when it can be easier...? So, what if people make scripts and installs become easier, it would decrease the amount of people f*cking up thier xbox's and b*tching about it on the forums, and it would leave the forums for relevent questions.
na, now there's a flood of people that didn't read the documentation on the scripting and coming back here to bitch about xecuter and blame the "chip". xecuter can't win either way. people will always be lazy moron's and there will always be "super internet forum police cops" to cry about people pointing this out to them.Vyrus said:
