Hello all...first time poster here.

I'd like to thank all of you for the work you've put into this site first off...it's helped me quite a bit when my xbox hard drive started failing.

Well enough with the flattery...to my problem.
I have a modded xbox that I modded using xboxhdm. I can play most games but a couple I got Madden 07 for Christmas and I can't seem to get it to load. The older games play fine, but this one doesn't. Unfortunately I don't have another (unmodded) xbox to test with.

Is it possible that I have a bad disk or is this a problem any of you have encountered before?

Thanks in advance.

so, it is a retail disc? if so it should boot up, you might wanna try going to ms dashboard then putting the disc in to see if it boots

i think he has it in the Xbox HD cuz i had the same problem you have to edit something to make it work but madden 05 works just graet

Thanks for the replies.

It is a retail disc and not stored on the hard drive. Previously I tried just launching the disc from the dash..it just hangs on the evolution X screen.

I also tried booting the Xbox with the tray open and launching the game from there with the same result.

try burning the game to a dvd prob ur disc is messed up

Yeah, I would do what 'lilcrazynigga' said. Try copying it with dvd2xbox because it will tell you if it failed copying files, then FTP it to your PC. Once it's on the computer, make an .iso of it and burn it with Nero.

OK..That would suck if the brand new disc is messed up.

thanks for the tip...I'll give that a try and report back my results.

Thanx i just gave him the same thing i did

I was just explaining it in full detail. Whats with you becoming a Doctor?

he jus got his phd in softmodding like you did a while back :)

lmao :) . I am typing on my Xbox right now.

I tried the above. I copied the game to my xbox using dvd2xbox and ftp'ed it to my machine. I then burnt the DVD image.

I'm seeing the same issue when I try to launch the game...it just hangs on the Evo X screen or the equivalent depending on what method I use. It's recognizing something on the DVD because when I try launching from the menu you get when you boot the xbox it says (on both the burned copy and the orig) Launching Madden 07 and it either hangs at that point of jumps back to the main menu. 

Any other ideas? I mya have another xbox to try this on on Sat or Sun...I'll post back and let everyone know.

try launching from m$ dash, or changeing your game region in evox to japan ntsc(i had to do that to play powerdrome)

IDN i was very mad people thinking i was a lil black boy cuz my name was lilcrazynigga but i just wanted to switch i do no but i might change it again if u want to since ur the ORIGINAL doctor i dont think they need to doctors

LMAO good 1 i was just very BORD i was goin to make a new acount but i said 4get it i did not no you could change ur name


did u try lunching it from your HD because if it dont run it is the game that is F"ed up and u got to get a new one i hope this helps

weelll did u get it to load ????

I have the same problem on my soft modded xbox. copying to HD or running off disc it just hangs. I also have a chipped xbox and that is actually the source(off the HD)for the disc i created. It has no issues on the chipped xbox. The Soft mod xbox plays most games fine. Madden 07 seems to have a problem with it thogh. dvd2xbox xopied it fine to the harddrive and did not report any issues.

run it one youx xbox hd or if not burn it to a dvd

not sure why your haveing problems with Madden 07  cuz i got it the Day it came Out and Played fine on my Softmod Xbox HDD
