nope not workin for me. 200GB doesnt see F but both bios work on my 120's but not the 200. Im not saying its the bios but I'll be damned if I know what im doin wrong.

I thought all Uber did was add the same hack to his bios, so that you don't have to use xbtool any longer... Maybe not?

I wonder what would happen if you "prepped" the drive with 4979, and did it from scratch...

regarding the clock check thingy, I still get the 15/11/8097 date problem, but this only happens when I use Media X Menu as my main booting dashboard.

Anyone else get this

OK, after half the day of reading I have figured this new BIOS out. If you NEVER installed a HD with an LBA48 supported BIOS this new BIOS will NOT work. The for sure fix for this would be to Xfer all you XBOX HD data to your PC. Use the new 4979.06 BIOS to re-configure your HD (that means erase it), this will add LBA48 support for this and future BIOS updates. Also, make SURE you enable G: in the .ini file for those HD's larger than 137 gigs. Then flash your BIOS and re-Xfer everthing back to your HD. Sucks I know but looks to be the only fix, its not the BIOS fault, so I doubt there will be a "fix" for the BIOS coming out anytime soon.

FLASH WITH-IN EVOX FOR BEST RESULTS!!

For hard drives 120 gigs and smaller use 4979.06
For hard drives 137gigs and above use 4979.67 (then configure partition 7 for G:, and write the .ini to support G: )

(correct me if I'm wrong, just my gathered knowledge of the day)

This makes 0 sense, as I went from using a bios, and hard drive with no lba48 support, I patched my bios and formatted, and have had a G drive for 2 months. No where in there did I need to format anything but my new G drive. I dont see why this bios would be any different at all.

Or maybe its just late and I am missing something....

I think the only clock thing that this fixes is in the cases where you would have error 16.

@ray12944:

You had one big F: drive before and installed the 6+7 bios? Do you understand what the 6+7 Bios does? It creates TWO extra partitions -> F: AND G: ... this can't be compatible with your previous (ONE extra partition) setup.

Once again:

6 = one F: drive (everything above original xbox hdd size goes to F:)
6+7 = one F: drive (everything above original xbox hdd size up to 137 gig goes to F:) and one G: drive (everything from 137 gig up to total hdd size goes to G:)

You don't have to use 6+7 if your drive is bigger than 137 gig ... just use the same setup you were using before installing 4979!

-cake

Yep. The fix doesn't prevent the clock from losing time, it just prevents the Xbox from erroring out in such a case.

ok so even though .06 is supposedly suppose to work for one big F drive 98% of the people here cant read from their F drive.

ok who the hell tested this thing ?

and you have to redo your entire hard drive ? no no no,, if they made the bios like that then i think it needs to be removed from the usual place and redone.

havent gone thru too many games but so far what i have crimson skies is the only one to refuse to boot if have your dvd unhooked.

also still looking for a fix or forget it, about having the dvd unplugged and using a pc dvdrom and evox mxm avalaunch., nothing will use the dvd.
evox reports the tray as being opened. well hello team X2 if the tray is open how are we suppose to use DVD's
make it say closed. or disks are useless unless boxplorer is used.

@LESTAT: I don't think that you have to re-do your harddrive if upgrading from 4978+Patches to 4979.06 -> normally the F: drive should work the way it did before ... you just have to use the same mode you used before (6 or 6+7) ....

How big is your HDD exactly? From other posts ive read, really big HDDs with everything set to F seem to crap out and get data corruption once you start to store data above the 280GB mark. But when they're set to use F and G everything seems to start running smoothly.
