I've got a Version 1.1 xbox.
My question is which Xecuter version do I use to install a harddrive larger than 137GB and I make this 1MB correct? finally, which version raincoat should i use? thanks. <

my suggestions:

4980.06 for hard drives up to and including 250gb

4980.67 for hard drivers larger than 250gb (300gb and 320gb) <

Vader,
I thought that the .06 was large F partition and the .67 was for 137gb F: and The rest G: LBA 48 support is up to 2 terabytes.
If I am wrong please educate me? I must have missed it somewhere on the way, which is highly likely!!!

I know a 250GB works with .06 (it's the bios and HD I have in my v1.3) It is just one large F drive.
I don't know if something larger than 250 works with .06. But I do know you can use up to 2TB using .67. Which will use F and G.

ok and where do you find these bios files and a chart on which version xbox it will work ?
thanks everyone.

I have a 1.0 xbox and 4980 seems to do the fragging on my system.

4980.06 is for new HD installs. F partition to 2TB

4980.67 is for people that already have a HD > 137G, only have F partition = 137, and who want to capture that unused space as partition G.

the problem was that you couldn't repartition F without loosing your data

read your nfo's!:

We have also intergrated OzPaulb's fantastic LBA48 hack which we had
to painstaiknigly convert from Assembly to C source. This is now
embedded into our X2 source so you can use two versions of our bios.
One for LBA48 6 and one for LBA 48 6+7 (LBA48 6 is one large F
partition - recommened for new HD installs, and LBA48 6+7 is for
those who want to extend your current F drive to its larger size
without losing any data). For those who dont know you were
previousley limited to a 137GB drive - now you can have up to 2 TB

(2199023255040 bytes) or 2000 Gb for the *ahem* uninformed.

both .06 and .67 bios contain LBA-48 for drives up to 2.2tb

the .06 puts it all on F, but the FATx file system doesnt seem to like partitions over 256gb, so if you put a 300 or 320gb drive all on F you will start to see alot of corruption as it fills up, which is why i say use .06 up to 250gb and .67 for anything larger <

ok, i got the .06 and .67 from xbins/xbox/bios/multi and they are 256K in size each when I load them up in XBTool it says unsupported kernel. Any suggestions on converting these to 1MB? <

just use the size option in xbtool, select 1024 then click the Size button, then lect your bios, select your output file and it will resize <
