Friendo Posted February 21 Posted February 21 Whatever your experiences are with this combo, mainly the Startech IDE2SAT2 + Samsung SDG-605B (Ver. B). Many lower capacity drives have been tested without issue, would love to get to the bottom of this mystery. ::Report Format:: Xbox Version: IDE Adaptor: DVD Drive model: Modchip: BIOS: UDMA: Storage Type / Size: Dashboard: Notes: ::Possible Reported Issues:: Founchki — 5/16/23 Error 7 on boot Toxic_Tripod0 — 4/17/24 dvd drive will be busy on first boot meaning it will not read discs at all on stock bios it will just not read the disc on xbmc4gamers it will give a disc busy error restarting the console fixes the issues the problem only happens on first boot you can even bypass the issue on first boot by starting the console with the disc inside and it will load the game before the dashboard boots you can also bypass the issue on first boot by going to xblast os first then booting cerbios or stock dashboard from there Quote

DVD drive is recognized as Region 0, other properties remain BUSY. In dashboard disc will load and PLAY button becomes active, but pressing it kicks back to the dashboard. If I exchange the SSD for the stock HDD or a WD HDD cloned from the SSD, the DVD also works! ldeveraux — 9/24/24 XBOX #2 Xbox Version: 1.4 IDE Adapter: China adapter 1 and 4 DVD Drive model: Samsung revA revA fw=x204 BIOS: Cerbios 2.3.1 UDMA Version: UDMA 2 HDD or SSD + size: WD HDD WD2000 200GB Dashboard: XBMC This seems to work fine. moving the DVD drive to the other XBOX #1 does not work on any IDE adapter. Moving the HDD to XBOX #1 does seem to function properly The prob here seems to be the SSD on my new 1.4 motherboard. My previous mobo had a broken controller 2 and I couldn't fix the traces. ldeveraux — 10/6/24 Ok I think I've gained some real traction here, not completely solved it yet. All stemmed from my want to disable autoboot to disc if one is inserted. I edited the config file with "DriveSetup = 1" and placed in the root of C:. I think whatever else I did with that combination of config file, Cerbios beta, and cerbios.ini prevented it from booting correctly or reading the disc. I've put my Samsung revA drive into my Xenium machine with the Startech adapter. How would I configure those files above to work correctly, use UDMA 5 or 6, be able to boot games, but NOT autoboot if disc is inserted? I feel like you can only disable autoboot with the cerbios.ini file flag, but this is what prevented disc boot altogether... Quote
Friendo Posted February 21 Author Posted February 21 Recent batch of speed testing data, but it works for this purpose aswel. The first 2 drives have already been tested but under a different Cerbios version and method of loading the dashboard. The second 2 drives are new entrys.
