are you sure that its not a problem with to long of a file name. Ive run into that problem many times.

whats up with all these hard drive questions appearing in the case modding forums?

[counter terrorist dan]

20 gigs of emulators? That sounds like a whole lot of old school games to own them all
Other than saying that this is the wrong forum,

Are you writing to the right partition? If you are trying to stick 20 gigs into a partition without that much space on it, it could be the problem. I don't know the sizes on a 60 gig, but on my 160 gig the F: is about 130, the G: is about 25, E is a few along with almost a gig in C:. Make sure you have enough room.

I just installed a 60gig hard drive in my xbox, it ran fine all last night. Today I was dumping about 20 gigs worth of emulators onto it and the transfer froze up after about 1.5gigs of transfer. I tried deleting the folder it was working on and restarting the queue but on the same file the transfer rate creeped down to about 50kbs and than stopped and aborted, i did some test transfers with videos and such to the harddrive and appartently it is refusing to write anymore than 1.5gigs to the harddrive. I am confused, should I try removing it and reformatting on a computer and start over with evox again?

that is your original post.  it has nothing to do with the manual modification and switching of hard drives.  it is a thread talking about personal problems with FTP-ing and formatting with evox, and talking about emulators.  All of which have nothing to do with case modding.

honestly i have no clue whats going on... i would try reformatting the whole hardrive again and use slayers to install everything back on and see if ur prob persists..

the hardware MODIFICATION stands for changing it, adding lights, or anything physical - adding files to the hd is NOT hardware mods - it is software.   your problems is with transfering files to the hd - not a problem for hardware modders who add leds or put 3 hds in an xbox - in that case the hd is a hardware mod, but not when it involves SOFT ware - get it? SOFT ware goes in software forums
HARD ware goes in hard ware forums, and the modification of HARD ware goes in this forum.

Grrr, I am sorry but you are still not getting it. Personally I consider a problem with an actual program or application a software problem. If you are having a problem getting a specific piece of hardware to function properly than you have a hardware problem. If this was a software problem than I would not be able to run the programs I put on the harddrive, but since the piece of hardware is physically (physical = hardware) refusing to complete a write operation it falls into a hardware category.

how is the hard drive physcally refusing to do its job?  also if my xbox got a virus (i know its impossible but its an example) would that be a hardware mod?  no because in no way have u MODIFIED anything even if the hard drive is physically there. Also, LOOK AT THE NAME OF YOUR THREAD! 'Cannot write to hd.' does that sound like a hardware modification? NOOOO.  so stop arguing BECAUSE YOU ARE WRONG

Dude, I'm feeling you. The truth is, your hard drive is hard ware. Most of the users here know that. But brahm2 is one of the guys who runs the show here in the hardware forum, and in the pinned topics, he discusses the issue.

Basically, on the scene, hardware truly means "cosmetic", while technical means "hardware" as we (computer users) traditionally call it.

No big deal.

Just to offer some troubleshooting advice:

Does your FTP program limit the size of the transfer somehow? It doesn't on mine, but maybe yours has a strange default setting. Have you tried restarting your router/computer/xbox setup? That usually does it for me.

Hope you find help, and sorry about jack. He's been watching too many ruthless pirate movies, i guess.

sorry my friends.  i tried to say it nicely, but then u tried to defend urself with bad defenses.  BUT wutever it is the past.  the hard drive is hardware i agree, but not modded - anything like painting the hd, windows in the hd, or adding eight of them would be a hardware mod.  but a problem with the hard drive is general hardware, has nothing to do with modifications.  i hope this helps explain what i was trying to say in fury in the other forum.

Just make sure you reformat using the proper format. I've never done it, but I've read that windows tries to format it in a way that the XBOX doesn't like. Just make sure you read up on it first. I wish I could be of more help.

[Tru2Game]

Thats cool, thanks for trying. I was using Xbox HD Prepare to zero but it was erroring like i said, I formatted the partitions with the raw ftp commands through flashfxp so it hasnt been formatted by windows...anyways Ill throw in the stock one till I figure it out I guess.
