Xbtool doesnt support patching 4981 because xecuter released the bios with it as a feature already.

you seem to understand what you are doing, but are missing the 'big picture


I'm working with 4981.06 and xbpartitioner, and I think I fall into this category also.   I have a couple of questions.

1)  From the older posts, it is stated that 4981.06 doesn't support on disk partition tables.   Aren't all partition tables on the disk, or is the bios somehow doing it for the X2 bioses?   How does 4981 support F: and G: partitions if they're not on disk?

2)  Is xbpartitioner supposed to be used with 4981.06, or are the only defaults for 4981 the ones you set with xbtool (ie. Partition 6 takes 137GB, Partition 7 takes rest; Partition 6 takes rest; Partition 6 takes 137GB .....)

3)  When using xbpartitioner, I think I formatted my 80GB drive with 32kb clusters.   Is this possible and is there any way I can verify the cluster size?

Thanks
