Hi all,

I've been searching all around the net and the boards to figure out my problem.

Initially I was using UnleashX and then running XBMC as an app.

But I recently changed it so that my black box would boot XBMC as default.

I used the Auto installer deluxe.

I noticed that it uses evox as well.


Now my problem is....


I noticed last night my ftp program could not recognize any folders past E

I figured I'd would just have to wipe the entire hdd and start a new.

I did that with the auto intaller (format retail hdd maxtor 120 gig) then installed the hacked dashboard into C... when done I installed the rest of the apps and emulators.

Proceeded to boot from dashboard via installer option (later I did it from fresh boot)

Now XBMC boots fine and beautifully quick.

Unfortunately I see all the but F and the cache drives.

When I go into system info it says "F Drive unavailable"


I was reading that I may have to reset some lines in evox or XBMC.xml to see the files, I might be  wrong, but it seems that they are active and wouldn't a fresh format get rid of any of the settings?


I'm really pulling my hair out, I mean I dont really use the F drive yet ( I really wanted to just put music/ movies into F , which is my next step and perhaps some one could point me to the right direction as to how I would accomplish this).

I know the auto installer sees the space and recognizes it fine, but FLASHXP does not see any of the folders past E and the xbox does not as well

(btw I'm running Friendtech DreamX1480)


Any insight if greatfully appreciated.


Thanx in advance guys

ftp in and edit the mediacenter.xml file

there is a use f drive option
and a use drive g option

set use f drive to yes

let us know if thats ok

[fireburster]

you softmodded? Did you do the option in their for a bigger drive? Standard softmod does e: only so for a bigger drive you need to install that .6 bios option.

Stick slayers in or something and see if it shows f: then format f: if it does.

It is currently running (according to what pops in the begining Xecuter2

I'm chipped

and I didnt go for the 200gig upgrade, my current box has their 120.

was f: ever working? is it enabled in the xml for xbmc? if you run unleashx is f: there?

[XboxCez]

I'm finally home (was at work when I was checking forums :-D)

I originally had everything working when I was running UnleashX as the dashboard and loaded XBMC as an app the f drive was always visible and so were the cache drives.

But formatted the entire hdd and put XBMC as my default dashboard

but now I cant seem to see F or the other drives....and now that i booted my xbox seems I get the error 21.

sometimes I get this, usually i just shut down and try again to hold down the button.

will post to see if I can change the settings on the xml.

You guys were right.

My appologies it seems I was looking in the wrong place.

By default both were xml's were set to no.


thanx for the Advice and quick replies guys. I think I found a new home for my xbox needs/questions :-D

PS whats the correct methodology in terms of backing up settings /preferences so I can easily update/avoid ignorant problems like this.
