I am having problems flashing the X-Chip. Do I need to change the .rar to a .bin file to flash.
I tried using a CD rom, but the xBox came up with a reading error.
Any help is appreciated

Hi Bill,
You need to download and install WINRAR (http://www.winrar.com) onto your PC.. Then you can EXTRACT The files from inside the .rar file..
Once you extract the file you will get a .bin file.. You can then use this file to flash your xbox modchip. I think i replied to your VIP Support TicKET too mate.

There's the reason why I love the Xenium Chips. I love flashing from the DVD drive. However, I also have a Samsung and have never ran into any media issues.
I just did a few mods over the weekend for some members here and here's how strange it can be with these damn machines.
One machine had a Phillips Drive. I popped in my Xecuter2 4983.67 bios CD that I burned to a Memorex DVD+R to flash and all went perfect.
The next machine I got was also sporting a Phillips drive. I took the same DVD+R and it would not read it to save my life. I tried so many different brands of CDRW's and DVDR's. I wasted 30.00 on the crap.
I ended up having to take out my Samsung that is in my machine and put in this one. Then, after I flashed it I ran the autoinstaller. When I swapped my DVD Drive back I suddenly realized that I forgot to lock the HD. For shits and giggles I tried my autoinstaller and it read it fine!
Then, yesterday I chipped a machine that has the dreaded Thompson Drive. It read my bios CD first try!! No swapping needed!! Same DVDR disk, different result.
I'm definitely taking forahobby's advice and buying a Samsung to have around just in case I run into that issue again. Beats taking mine out!!

Thanks for the help. Problem seems to be solved.

Hi,
Make sure you are running the latest version of WINRAR..
Available here: http://www.winrar.com
I noticed too that i got errors on extracting the file but it works 100% fine anyway..
Thanks for all your help. afer spending about two weeks working on this, reading many articles and learing about .rar and .iso files, I finally was able to get the Xbox set up. My son is very happy. Using the X-chip, and one of the executer bios's, with the Xbox HQ autoinstaller all is Fine. I can now get back to my day job.
Again, thanks for the help
