Boot your X3 Config Live and go into "Customize X3 Bios" then go down to "LBA 48 Mode" and change that. You might have to format the G partiition first, but you can do that with the X3 Config Live also.

Here is the answer I was looking for.

I have to place a WD 320Gb hdd in my XBox 1.1.

How must I act to format it?? Must I format the complete hdd with the EvolutionX build in action for formatting drives and AFTER IT go to format ONLY the F partition with Xboxpartitioner, OR must I partition ALL the hdd using Xbpartitioner??

In case I have to partition ALL the drive using Xbpartitioner, can I manage to give to C, E, X, Y and Z some dimensions I prefere, or MUST they be big as the EvolutionX build in action formats it???

In case I MUST leave them as big as they are, should I format them ONLY to give them a 32k cluster partition or even here MUST I leave them as they are???

PLEASE let me know because I am waiting you guys for formatting. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Yeah, thats how I formatted it to begin with (Using LBA48 Mode only i sent all to F).  By doing that can I create a G partition without erasing anything else? (there is still pletny of room on my hard drive)

And PIRATA!, what kind of mod chip do you have?

[cerealkillajme]

I think you can do it that way. I'm able to change mine in my bios, but I have no way to test it to see if it works, I don't have a HD big enough. Either way I would think it would work fine because F is already present and if you don't have any more than 137gigs worth of stuff then you have nothing to lose to try it.

I have an Xecuter2.1Light.
I have flashed last Xecuter2 Bios "x2_5035_vOld_512k.bin" with success. Now XBpartitioner loads good with NO messages telling me that I don't have any support for LBA48 2 support.

Is this bios set to give me a Big F partition with NO G partition?? This is what I am serching: I need to have a really big F partition with a WD 320Gb (that aproximately should be about 310Gb without C,E,X,Y,Z partitons).

Is this bios good or do I have to mod it or what else?? Is there a way from XBpartitioner to see if its settled to have a BigF??


After this, is it good to change size to C,E,X,Y,Z???
Shell I format ALL of them plus my BigF partition with 32k clusters??

Thank you.

Next time they come visit Ill have to have them bring it up and try it in x3 config live like you said.  Worst case senerio theyll just have to figure out how to put their DVDs back into DVD2Xbox themselves (since Ive only explained the whole "hit A hit start" etc thing a million times.

I've only worked with Xecuter 3's but you should try to get the most recent bios (generally doesnt have "vOld" in the name).  TeamXecuter's website lists v5032 as their most recent bios for the X2, so Head over to "the usual places" and download v5032 - 512k and flash that.  Again, I don't really know anything about the Xecuter 2 but the X3 has something called "Config Live" where you can do a number of things including drive partitioning using LBA48 support.  Also with the X3 if you have a different dash set you can always reaccess it by holding the white button down throughout the boot/flubber/startup procedure.  Sorry I can't be of more help , perhaps someone with experience using the Xecuter 2 can help you.  I would try to get the most recent bios though.

Wait.. its exactly the same.

My "vOLD" is because I have an OLD version ov XBox, "ver.1.1", and not last "1.6". Infact the last bios for X2 is "5035" that is provided in two different versions: vOLD or XBox 1.0 to 1.5, and "v16plus" that is for all 1.6 XBox.

I have so the LAST X2 bios that has FULL LBA48 support. Infatc XBpartitioner works good.

My only doubts are in HOW TO USE XBpartitioner. I have to use a BigF partition and the bios I have flashed is settled up to have BigF, so the bios is OK. Now, these are the questions related to XBpartitioner:

- can I CHANGE fisically the size of partitions C,E,X,Y,Z or MUST they have original XBox size??
- if haveing a BigF partition formatted with 32k clusters, MUST I format ALL other partitions with "32k clusters" either or MUST I keep them as they are???
- is there a "one-for-all" command that can create/format ALL partitions with a BigF bigger then 250Gb (I think that should format it all in 32k clustes)?

Please let me know. Thank you.

I guess Team Xecuter needs to update their "most recent BIOS" list on their site.   These are good questions, unfortunately I do not have the answers.

@PIRATA,

I have never used XBpartitioner, but I can answer one of your questions

...I know, it's not much help, but it's better than nothing...

You CANNOT change the partition sizes of C, E, X, Y, or Z.  The only changes we can make are to the F and G drives.

I don't know about the other two questions, sorry.

@Lordvader, you mentioned minimum filesizes with each filesystem:  FATX, FATX16, FATX32

Would you happen to know these minimum filesizes?  This may be an answer to an unrelated question on a different topic.

For example, NKPatcher 11 for softmods has a function where it can disable ShadowC if there is a file titled "ShadowC_off.bin" in the E:/drive.  It can be any file, because it just goes off of the title.  So, I just opened notepad, didn't type anything, and saved it as ShadowC_off.bin and FTP'ed it over.  Well, it did what it was suppossed to, it disabled the Shadow C.  And I can see the file in a file manager, so it's definitely there.  But if I check the file size on my computer, it is 0 bytes.  How is this possible?

ive had problems with x2 biox and xbpartitioner because the x2 bios overrides the HD partition table (which xbpartioner uses)
