Stock HDD to < 300GB: .06
HDD's lager than 300G: use .67

Some perple are experiencing data corruption with HDD partitions larger than 256GB. This relates to various FatX limitations.

depends on your hdd. if you have a large hdd (over 137 GB) with a f and a g partition you will use 4981.67 otherwise use 4981.06

You don't need a F and G drive for most HDD's... This is a well known fact.

Also, this is being moved to the BIOS forum...

.67 adds a G:/ drive with a 137GB partition. You only need to use this if you have a hard drive that is 160GB or more. Otherwise just use .06

f you have a new hdd, stock hdd, hdd smaller than 137gig (about 145 gig or so with the rounding errors), then use the .06
if you have an xbox that already has stuff on an f partition but the drive is not bigger than 137 use the .06
if you have an xbox that already has stuff on an f partition and are unlocking new space on a hdd that is 137+ then use the .67
the .67 is for the g partition which is not needed unless you have stuff on the f partition you don't want deleted by unlocking the extra space that was previously not available on non LBA48 compatible bioses.
You can have one fat F partition and this is much more compatible/easy than using an F and a G

use the .06 bios.

if you upgrade the hd to a larger one (>137) at a later stage, you can always reflash with .67
