My friend said that his xbox has started taking ages to load up, he turns it on and sometimes it takes 2-3 mins to get to the evox dash, he has a v1.0 pal xbox, with X24974 bios running an 80 gig unlocked HDD, i havent gone round to view it yet but i was going to check the connections, try a different IDE cable and maybe some different dashboards including the original? he has a cyclone or cyclops cheapmod that cannot be flash upgraded until more soldering is done, and i aint too flash with a soldering iron.
Anyone got any ideas what this could be? cheers

The chances are his HD is clogged up with crap. You need to get into C: drive and clean up some of the stuff like, old dashboard xbe files and any xbe files that he isn't using. He could have Evox.xbe, Evoxdash.xbe, Xboxdash.xbe, Nexgen.xbe and so on, whish would confuse the bios trying to load the right one. It might pay to go into Evox.ini and have a look, sometimes certain programs and emulators will write to the ini file, doubling up on some of the commands in there which would also cause the machine to hang. I don't think it will be a hardware issue. _________________ Lefe's too short,
