Problems with X2 flashing and FlashBios 2.6.0

[jbondsr]

Hi.
I've got an old 1.1 xbox with a Thompson DVD Drive.
I installed the Xecuter 2.6 mod with the xapter soderless.

On the chip, it has FlashBios 2.6.0 which doesnt give an option to flash by http.

My problem is that I've tried to get it to read the bios.bin from CD's and DVD's that I've made, but to no avail.

Here's exactly what I've done so far:

1. I downloaded tghe newest X2 bin file (256KB).
2. Made it into a 512KB file using X2BM.
3. I made a dummy file. (Different sizes - 100MB on cd-rw, and 300MB on DVD+R)
4. Burned them using nero.
5. Turned on xbox with flash protect disabled and chip is on bank 1 (bank 2 seems to
be empty, FlashBios 2.6.0 comes up.
6. Selected "Flash via CD". CD-rom opens up.

Now here's the problem. I've tried a memorex cd-rw, a TDK 8x DVD+R, and a regular generic no-name cd-r (i know thompson doesn't read cd-r, but i tried it anyway).
But every time I put in the disc, it tries to read from the disc, but then spits it back out. It doesn't detect the bios.bin file on the discs I have made.

Is the problem with the media I am using, or is it the way I made the bios.bin for the disc, is it a problem with the bank I am using, or is it a combination?

First off, the newest X2 bios is 512k, not 256k. It is 5035.

Did you follow the tutorial for flashbios on team xecuter's home page?

I made a mistake in that previous post.
I originally meant to say that the file I got was 512k.
I tried flashing using both a 512k and a 1MB version.
No results.

And I have followed the tutorial for flashbios.
Still nothing.

Sounds like a media problem. Try burning as slow as possible. Also try a larger dummy file. I have an imation 650 meg CD-RW that has worked on every Xbox I have modded.
