I'm curious if the file transfer issue I'm having has to do with either a) running Windows 7, or

the SATA-USB enclosure that I have been using to connect my HDD to my laptop. (Slow transfer or read speeds freezing the application?) Any file I try, large or small, hangs Commander. There's also still that issue or dragging a file or folder into Commander, and the drag command never really "let's go", as someone stated earlier. Maybe it's hanging the application because it's not actually initiating the transfer... I don't know, just throwing some ideas into the mix, I'm no programmer.

TraJik you will be happy to know next rev will have an improved write file to hard drive. I found where in the code as the hard drive fills up that the writes are slow down. Fixed it! There are probably more optimizations that I can make but this made a big difference on my 60gb Drive.

Reading from this works great. I am using an XBR XBox with an official 120gb hard drive with USB microsoft transfer cable on Windows 7. It always assumes you want to read from drive when right clicking. Maybe a right click should trigger a context menu of the tree list item the mouse is over and it should have an option to export or save file or selected files depending on if more than one have the Selected flag enabled. Also, dragging and dropping into the window crashes the application. So far i cant write anything to it, but can read from it just fine. Was there supposed to be a progress bar when reading from the drive? Also is the source located publicly? Thanks for all your hard work. You are working this to perfection and an all inclusive HDD app is MUCH needed in this scene. Thanks again.

i was hoping that rev 7 will work for me, but still no go.
I can extract files to XP SP3 HD but i can't inject files to the XBOX 360 one.
It gets stuck in a loop like the others said.

Hope your next rev will fix this Ice.

By the way there's another cosmectic bug:
Click on the folder window (right one), it calls the file selection box, then click Cancel... there's a selection ghost as if we double-clicked on the previous window.
It might be something dealing with the OnMouseDown/Over trigger, please fix it too

Well the next release will write the files to the hard drive faster. The code for writing to hard drive would get slower and slower as the drive filled up. I fixed that problem.

Thanks for the click and cancel issue. Fixed it.

Great. I look forward to that revision, as the attempted transfer speeds I'm getting now are ridiculously slow. Love the progress bar though. Another great addition. Still getting hanging problems during most transfers though. Going to test out different ways of transferring files and folders (different sizes, different sources, etc.) and see what I can come up with. For the most part, I'm having the most trouble transferring files only. When I drag and drop a folder, it initiates the transfer. When I drag and drop just a file, it hangs instantly.

Another thing to maybe consider would be a feature to move files and folders around from within Commander, like, from one folder to another, or to another partition, etc. Loving these super quick revisions. You must be working on this app non-stop, and the scene appreciates it.

I don't know what is up with the locking up. I wonder if it is a > 250gb hard drive issue.

I will add this to the to do list.

Does your drive have a HDDSS? If yes could you send it to me?
What hard drive make and model are you using?
Could you give me a dump of the Partition Header for partition 3? just the first 32 bytes will be enough.
What is the offset for the name.txt on your drive?

That should be enough to get me started.

icepir8icepir8! You are releasing faster than we can test!

I am using a 500gb WD BEVT Drive formatted through XBR - so there is no HDDSS - this is why I was curious as to what fixing the HDDSS was doing because as far as I am aware, there are none > than 250gb.

What is strange to me is that both Xport and Commander can see the drive without a HDDSS...

I am not @ home right now but I was messing around with my drive last night and I'm fairly sure the values you asked for are the same as Magnus Hydra's guide - http://forums.xbox-s...howtopic=701738

So name.txt is @ offset 1381F0DE0 - this I'm sure of,
according to the guide the partition 3 header should be (I think):

08 00 6E 61 6D 65 2E 74 78 74 FF FF FF FF FF FF

I'll have to zero my drive and reformat in xbr to be sure the partition 3 header is right so it may be a while - sorry

Hope that helps in some small way

Keep up the good work!

How do I add content to the hard drive using this app. I can't figure it out.

Drag and Drop does not work. I just get a black "NOT" symbol.

Also when I double right-click on a folder, I am assuming it is asking me where I want to dump the folder, but I get no progress bar and the app appears to have locked up.

Also would it be possible for you to add the ability to sort the list in the right hand side as Xplorer360 didn't do that and I like to be able to sort items either by Name or Size(when that gets added in).

Otherwise it's great.

P.S. I am using a Western Digital 250GB drive with an official 250GB HDDSS that I dumped from my official 250GB drive.

Also using Windows 7 with Xbox 360 Commander in Admin Mode.

Thanks for the feed back.

I have tried to drag and drop to the right side but I get the black "NOT" symbol.

I have tried to drag and drop a folder. Is that possible or does it have to be a file?

Gunna test out rev 8 a bit more, still having a few issues with it. But transfer speeds increased a ton.

Just posted rev 9. I think you will like this one. It address the apparent hanging with dropping a folder onto the right window.

We are getting close to something useful now.

Congo Ice, rev9 is finally working for me.
I tried to export a simple file from my BEVT 500G -> PC HD, then edited/renamed it in order to inject it back to the xbox drive... and it worked

Great work mate, it's really the best hd tool around!

However the cosmetic ghost selection bug is still there.
Maybe it's time to start working on the contextual popup (while performing a right-click).

Edit:
If i try to inject a file which is already on the xbox drive (i wanted to update it), it doesn't replace it, but injects another copy alongside the original oO
Hopefully, the Delete key worked (on my keyboard) so i removed the old file, then i don't have dupes.
(You really should implement this contextual popup).

With all the dedicated beta testers and your hard work, we're gonna have the best HD tool, Keep it up

hmm, bummer. just as things started looking good for me here... the program froze again, and crashed my hdd. there goes 1.2GB worth of info. Good thing I have some of it backed up.

Well, it's definitely "working" now. Big step from rev 8 to rev 9, I actually had files and folders transfer quickly and easily from laptop to harddrive and vice versa, but I made the mistake of transferring xbox 1 files to my empty partition 2, and it froze, and messed up everything, (don't ask me how, haha). So I've reformatted, and am in the process of restoring from my original 120GB, and files from my backup HDD. I'll let you know how the process goes, because I'll be using Commander for the restore from .bin file, as well as moving over all my homebrew files, etc. Fingers crossed that everything goes to plan here.

Oh, and I was obviously frazzled when I posted last... I meant 1.2TB hahaha. crap.
