New HD installation problems
New HD installation problems
I got a bigger harddrive to put in my linux box that I set up using MCE, so it flashed my bios and formated my drive. Well I want to upgrade to a bigger drive but when I insert the harddrive, the xbox doesn't start up at all. I don't want to uninstall linux (returning to old bios) and reinstall it in order to upgrade the harddrive. Any ideas of what is wrong and what I can do to fix it?

when I press the power button, nothing shows up on the screen. All I get is the front LED rotating the 3 colors, red, green, and orange. Then, after about 10-15 seconds, the cd drive pops open. Again, nothing shows up on the screen. I tried a few gentoox cds I had, but none loaded. The only thing I can think of is to write gentoox mce to a dvdrw and hopefully it reads it, unless of course the flashing LED is an error, but usually an error is green and red. Oh, everything sounds like it is booting correctly. The harddrive spins up, when there is a cd inserted into the cd drive, it spins up and tries to read it. I'll try writing gentoox mce to a dvdrw, but please reply if you know exactly what is going on.
