For some reason, if I started my xbox with the above mentioned boot CD 
it just booted into the evolution dashboard.  I would then have to eject 
and reclose the DVD drive, then evolution would recognize the DVD as a 
game which allowed me to lauch it.  I believed this was due to the fact 
that I have an old v1.0 xbox with one of the crappy first DVD drives and 
not one of the better samsung ones.
