fatx will support 274,877,906,944 byte partitions (256 gig), dont write data pass that point on any partition or you will "wrap around" and begin corrupting data.

I think your math is bad though

.4 + 4 + 150 + 250 is more than 400, not accounting for the space you will lose after formatting.

is there a way to use xbtool to make  x2 4981 work with  lba48? I have 3 boxes that are 1.0 and have 256k mod chips. I could rip the chips out and flash the onboard bios with a 512k bios if necessary. Can I upgrade the 4981 to lba48? I tried using xbtool, but it didn't seem to make a difference.

i upgraded my Maxtor 80GB drive with a WD 320GB. i set it up with X3 Config Live. F was 120GB left and G was 170GB left, i loaded 80GB on my G drive and loaded 80GB on my F drive, not exactly the same amount, but roughly the same. for some reason, my G:\ partition dissapeared i can see it with FTP (i.e. FileZilla) but i cannot load the directory, it fails. what do i do? i've spent 2 weeks since i got my new HDD transferring from my computer to new xbox drive, then old xbox drive to computer, then computers old xbox contents to new xbox, giving this drive all my contents on my computer and a copy of my old hard drive (which is still accessable saftly in my F:\ partition, so i hope) can anyone help?
