Xbpartitioner On A 750gb Hdd
« on: February 22, 2008, 01:56:00 PM »

Hi guys i posted a different topic earlier but when i did a little research it looks like i need to partition my HDD, all i need to know is where to get a copy of the partitioner software without using IRC because that software looks well above my head, and is there a specific way to partition a 750gb HDD and if its possible to have it all under the F Drive instead of splitting it with the G Drive?

Regards

Please read this. Note you need to have a bios that xbpartitioner supports. (It'll tell you if it doesn't like your bios. - no error messages is a good thing.)

You can find it on Xbins.

Either follow the Xbins guide in my signature, or try using this tool.

Xbpartitioner

You can only have up to 500gigs on the F drive, or any drive for that matter. Any drive over 250gigs needs to be formatted with 32k clusters. Xbpartitioner will do that.

Sorry, it effects F the same as G. If you didn't use XBP when you first installed the drive you need to do it now.

The controller problem is a new one on me. I take it you've tried all the controller ports? You normally use the first controller port?

xboxhdm predates the on-disk oz_paulb style partition table created by xbpartitioner and used by bios with LBA48 ver2 support.

Hence xbpartitioner is the only tool now to do this kind of partitioning.

You can always run xbpartitioner from DVD if you want. Frosty's xbox rescue disc comes with the older version - version 1. If you need 64k clusters, you can remaster the xiso with ver 1.1 with qwix

1kb = 1,024b

64kb = 65,536b

So you used 1.1 in the end, is this correct?

Is the data still there and the file names are corrupted? or are the files not showing?
I would recommend Photorec or OnTrack Easy Recovery Professional, the later isnt free but I have had success with both.

Also if you do end up recovering your mp3 file but with generic filenames I assume you could use some software to read the ID3 tag info and rename the files accordingly since the tag info should be part of the data in the file which is still intact.
