Does this method works on a v1.0 xbox

It works on all versions, as long as you are using either a .67 softmod or a .67 BIOS. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy.gif)

arr that explains it !
presumable the 512GB limit per partition is a FATX restriction .. ?

I am running bios 5035.137 and I split the difference between F and G. Both were formated in 32k clusters. So I should be able to flash the bios with 5035.67 and get the rest of the hd?

Where is it explained about the bios suffixes(.67, .137, etc).

I should mention that I am using a modchip and not softmodded.

I have never heard of .137 before... but .67 means F & G drives (required for 750 GB hard drives) and .06 means F drive only. (512 GB maximum on .06 BIOSes.)

You will need to flash 5035.67 for your 750 GB hard drive to work, and once it is flashed, just follow my guide to format the drive and you should be set.

Yep, 512 GB is the absolute maximum for FATX partitions at the moment. Technically you could do 1 TB on FATX partitions if you formatted the partition with 64k clusters, but there is currently no way to do that.

I got the 5035.137 from AID installer disk. There is no 5035.67 or 5032.67 on the disk. Although, there is 4981 and 4983 on the disk with .67. Now that I look, there are all kinds of bios on the disk, some with file extentions .67.fc.ef , .67.fc, etc. I hate to go to an older bios but if this is what it takes, I will do it.

You have 100% gotten past the data corrupt point?

Just looked around the usual spot and could not find any of the bios that I listed above, so I dont know what to think. I guess I will try the 4981.67 first without the reformat. I have been backing up my info for about 2 weeks on and off, I am running out of places to put it, this is why I hate to reformat.

The bios chart on the home page needs to be updated or is there another site that compares all bios and their atributes?

Xbpartitioner reports that x2 4981 does not support reading custom partition sizes. 4983 may work, I'm not sure.

bearcreek · « **Reply #21 on:** March 07, 2007, 09:28:00 PM »

Thanks for the info, I can confirm that, I just flashed my xbox with the 4981.67 and it wont doesnt show any space in G or G is full according to the bios. Either way, on UnleashX it shows 0m free for G drive, I should have 106g left.

Been doing some reading and 5035 does not support splitting F and G, it supports F to 137g and G gets the rest.
This explains why poopiemagee only has 650g. The actual size of the hard drive is 732g due to 1024m=1g, a loss of 18g. Now if he formated F to 137g and G gets the rest, G can only hold 512g because that is the highest you can go formated in 32k clusters.

bearcreek · « **Reply #22 on:** March 07, 2007, 09:57:00 PM »

Just checked 4983.67, it does the same as the 4981.67, no free space on G. What bios are you using Frosty?
I believe I am wrong about the 5035 not supporting the splitting of F and G, UnleashX shows 116g free for F and 106g free for G. I have around 250g on F with no corruption problems.

Movax · « **Reply #23 on:** March 08, 2007, 07:41:00 AM »

5035 should work. 4981 and 4983 won't. With 5035, setup the drive with xbpartitioner as frosty stated. It SHOULD work fine, as it claims to support xbpartitioner custom partitions.

FrostyTheSnowman · « **Reply #24 on:** March 08, 2007, 10:51:00 AM »

I use softmods, I use my own custom UDE2 softmod running NKPatcher v10, which supports custom partitions. (I don't like modchips, they are unnecessary IMO.) I'm not totally sure about which modchip BIOSes support custom partitions, but i'm willing to bet that the X2 5035 BIOS does support them, as Movax said.
