Q: 4981.06 Lba48 Box Selected/grayed Out,
« on: February 17, 2004, 06:36:00 PM »
Hi there,
I'm about to re-flash to 4981.06 and I was editing somethings in XBtool when I noticed that both LBA48 and Ignore harddrive partition table are selected and grayed out.  Now according to the doc's on XBtool's site this will:

QUOTE
Setting the Ignore Hard Drive Partition Table option will cause the kernel partition table to override the hard drive table. This option should normally be off. It's only useful if you have a partition table written to the hard drive and there is some reason (patition table corruption, for example) you need that partition table to be ignored.


So wtf?  Am I fine if I flash with these options set as is?  Should I just leave it with partition six takes rest of drive?  I'm sorry if it's a dumb question but I just don't want to make any mistakes.  Thanks for any help.

The Xecuter BIOS takes a different approach to the LBA48 fix than XBtool, so it's not something that XBtool can edit.  You'll notice that if you open an Xecuter BIOS (4979 or later), it has the LBA48 "locked" to either Partition 6 takes up entire drive (49__.06) or Partition 6 and Partition 7 takes up the rest (49__.67).

Thanks for your lighting fast reply Xeero, I am going to assume that you are telling me that everything is peachy, but if you check back on this thread and could green light me I would feel a lot less nutty flashing this thing.

Thanks again.

That's perfectly normal for the LBA48 option to be grayed out when opening an X2 BIOS in XBtool.  Make sure you flash your mod with the appropriate BIOS (.06 for one huge F drive v .67 for an F drive up to 137GB and a G drive for the rest).  If you flash it with the wrong one, it won't cause any harm, but you won't see anything on your F and/or G partitions.  If this is the case, just flash the other BIOS.

You're go for launch.

Just wanted to say thank you again Xeero.  I have just completed launch, although by different means.  I used Flashx to flash per bank on my X2.2pro and things went swimmingly.  Things worked best when right before I flashed I turned all dip switches (other than four obviously) to off.  Now I have two customized bios, one 4981.06 and one 4977 (for stability) and two generics of each.

Woo-hoo  :lol:

Thanks again  :beer:
