i have my x3 chip working fine and figured its time to get the back up bios loaded encase i do some thing and need it to fall back on. well when i boot my xbox to back up (and get blue and red led at same time making purple..) all i get is a blank screen. i have tryed rebooting a few times and had no luck getting to the blue start up screen. the chip works 100% aok when i run it normally or even if i run the xbox w/ the chip turned off. i only have an issue if i try to boot up and run the back up bios. i have played w/ the switches thinking maybe that was it but no luck there either..... whats a boy to do?.. i even tryed to see if when i boot to the back up bios and get this black screen if maybe id get lucky and be able to http over the new bios and w/ no luck can i do this.... i cant even connect to the xbox http style when i boot up on the back up bios.. i dont get a fragg or any kind...... just boots fine and ends up w/ no sound or black screen. i thought maybe it was a bad install but after re... re...re...re... checking i dont see any thing at all wrong w/ my install... and like i said the chip works 100% fine on normal boot up....... any idea's what i should/could do to get to where i can load a bios on the back up part of the chip?..

thanks!

Just boot your x3 under config live (press & hold white button whilst booting)
ftp cromwell 3.01 for your 1.6 board to the c drive
then select Bios tools/flash backup rom/load 256K bios from c...then browse it from the c drive and flash it
