Just did the install on a 1.6 and everything worked great, turned on the modchip and got into the bios window fine its just that I can't scroll down and select the load BIOS from Disc button or scroll to anything else for that matter. No weird flashing of light to speak of and flash protection is disabled on the chip and on the dip switch. Help?

use the stock ms controllers if you are not, i belive that flashbio has problems with some aftermarket controllers.

I am having the same problem. Brand new v1.6 xbox with included controller. Installed Xecuter3 without issue but I cannot select anything in the flashbios 3.0.1 screen. I cannot get anything on cd/dvd to load either. Xbox works fine with mod disabled. Ideas anyone???

do you have a memory card in the controller?

do you have the dvd dongle in ?

if you do, take me out and reboot and try again.

I only have one controller connected nothing else. Tried all 4 ports. No luck. My xbox did come with the smaller controller S instead of the older larger ones M$ originally came out with. Could that be the problem? I have tried everything and and running out of ideas now.

Re: XBC error wne trying to burn game

just load xbc. insert game and on the read tab select complete backup and start. select where to save the file and just let it run dont touch any other settings. thats what i do and the rips are 100% perfect everytime. should come back as 7.29 gb.

Re: XBC error wne trying to burn game

burn using imgburn. after ive ripped i turn off xbc, run iso through abgx. then load the dvd file into imgburn and burn it. i take it you know the layerbreak settings and speed to burn at.

Re: XBC error wne trying to burn game

no dont click no tabs. just put the game in and click start and itll just read it. it should only say a small file size below the dvd drive name. trust me dont do anything except click start. itll unlock and read the game and itll come back as 7.29 gb. it does everything for you.

Re: XBC error wne trying to burn game

yes you can use clonecd. ive used it loads. just remember to verify the disc after youve burnt it through abgx again to make sure its a good copy.
