I'm a noob too. Just set up my X3CE with X3control panel last week. The banks that worked for me were:

Protect off (out)

Bank one and two in

Bank three and four out.

I think 1+2 or 3+4 are 1MB flash mems (?)

Hope this helps

i think the bios is on but not sure...

I am trying to get evox dash onto my xbox so that I can ftp my hard drive contents to my computer to back up whats on there before i get my 200 giger going.

I am not sure if i have a bios on the chip or not yet here is what happens.

When i quickly press power it comes up to a X rocks your xbox thing and then a screen comes up says.

X3 deteched build 3029 Dip bank select 1-8
c :.32 gb E: 4.63 gb F:

x3 config live
bios tools
disk tools
eeprom tools
settings
hardware info

reboot to dash
cold reboot
power off

the LCD reads X3 Config live v3029
Dip Bank Sel 1-8
Bios <unknown>

I have the protect button pushed in (green) and the 4 other buttons are all pushed out ( no color ) and the Xecuter logo is blue.

I have downloaded bios X3_3029 which i think is the newest bios but since my screen says build 3029 does that mean that bios is already done?

If i need to put the bios on there i am not sure what to do with the dip switch settings to get the bank to be 1024k so that i can load the 1024k bios.

after that i am not sure how to get the dash put on. I have EvolutionX Build 3935 the newest one. I downloaded Craxtion and did the .ini file ( i am connecting through a router) and i renamed the xdash thing to default.xbe and then used craxtion to make an image of the entire folder. Does it matter what the dummy file is? I used a 100mb video file and the image onto a maxell cd-r and the xbox wouldnt read it, i redid it onto a memorex cd-rw and it still wouldnt read it. I have the Samsung DVD drive and Version 1.6 xbox. I had a professional installer do the chip and front panel set.

Can someone please please help me!! I have tried this over and over and I dont know what to do, i have read tutorial after tutorial and now im severely confused!

If it would be easier to yahoo or aol message i can do that or hell ill even call you from my cell phone im just at my wits end.

Thanks
