Hi, I've got a question that I hope someone can answer...

Has a BIOS been released that supports an F partition up to the full 256GB w/16K clusters with a G or...
An F partition up to 137GB, a G AND an 8th partition

I've gooooooogled high and low, searched faq's and forums here and there... to no avail.

The reason I ask is because; I have a new 500GB HDD (WD5000AAKB) that I’d like to pack full of XBOX goodies with the default 16k cluster size. Hell I'd even make 5 extended partitions if need be, but I hate how the only way I can use the whole drive, atm, is to have an F up to 137GB w/16k and a G with the rest @32k Clusters   ...

If I knew how to code (working on that) I would make it myself...

Thanks to anyone in advance who can provide me with a constructive answer!

I just used XBpartioner to create F and G drives of equal size on a 500G that I did for a friend.
(google how to use it, as it was a little confusing at first)
(edit: used the ".67" bios when I did the soift mod)

I tried using xbpartioner with my current BIOS (metoo-m8plus) but it would reset the table everytime I tried to set an F bigger than 137GB (but smaller than 256GB).

So that doesn't happen with the X2 4981.67 BIOS? Do you know if this will work with the Phoenix BIOS loader?
If not, what replacement should I use?

Thanks for your help!
