Hi everyone i have done this with two boxes after installing win xp!

On my third box i can not get it to complete got it to 97 percent once! I have tried many times sometimes 6% before it stops sometimes 57% tried many times am i wasting my time what else can i try?

thanks

Try to swap the security chip from a working box to that box and redo it. Perhaps it's the security chip upgrading wrongly (probably you could even upgrade the security chip on the working box and put it back to that non working one).

ok some of the security chips are fixed and some i can just pull out not sure whats the best thing to do?

I take it the fixed ones are version 2 maybe?

You can take any of them, but remember that :

- Security file to upload is different, not same for v2.0 chip or v3.x chip.

- The image loaded must be also compatible, probably best is to preload a V2/V2a only so it works with v2.0 and v3.x security chips.

Ok mate so what you saying is the duo boot bin is the wrong file for the particular security chip then? i could not find a different one?

could you point me in right direction please?

There is 2 security chips.

- v1.0 and v2.0, that have their own security bin.

- v3.x that has 3 bin versions (v3.0, v3.0beta and v3.2).

You naturally need to load the right bin to the right chip, as there is 2 different chips.

This topic is for v3.x chip only.

For the v1.0/v2.0, you need to go here : http://www.ourdreambox.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=1718#Post1718 and/or this http://www.ourdreambox.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=1721#Post1721
