...which I'm glad I did because this didn't work.

I'm at 183gb of free space left and it won't let me copy any more.

PLEASE HELP GUYS! I'm at a loss here.

first, are you sure your using a .67 bios/patcher

the standard for .67 is F:\ = 137(16K) G:\ rest of space

what i have found is it don't care it will do what you tell it (xboxpartitioner)

in xboxpartitioner select 32k for F:\ = 2*137=274 (or there about)
make sure NOT to change the start address for G:\
select 32k for G:\

reformat F:\ and G:\ with any dash (evox, ava or other)

the total space should NOT be more then ~690GB
if it's all most 750GB total it's going to fail...

I don't know how to obtain the patcher, but heres screen shots of xbpartitioner from my xbox
IPB Image

^^ Main ^^

^^ Help ^^

The main screen on the top right it shows different format options for when you press start.
If you look at the help screen it tells you to press white to change what the start button dose. If you press white a few times it will change the top right on the screen to say "Format (16 clusters)"
You press the "Y" button to toggle cluster size for a single format, which would change it between 32 and 16.
#6 Partition is the F partition and #7 is the G partition (i believe)
The issue I'm running into is when i tell it to format #6 in 32 with 492,103.73 MB (of the 500GB hd) It actually formats in 16 clusters with 129434.82 MB. Also when i tell it to format a G drive it says it dose but actually doesn't.

As far as .67 patcher I believe what is stated on the main Page of xbpartitioner on the top left mine says "LBA48 patch v3" is where you would look for that information and mine isn't .67...

Thx xman954 for helping us out

what the hell is the .67 bios patcher? Where would I look for it in the usual place? Does it work with a softmod?

when you installed the softmod it ask you what patcher version .06 or .67 you wanted
.06 F:\ up to 250GB
.67 F:\ 137GB, G:\ rest of space up to 250GB
both assume 16K

now
in the case of 750GB 32k on both F:\ and G:\ should work
in the case of 500GB F:\(16K) and G:\(32K) this is what i used and it finally worked after reformatting
with evox using raw FTP commands (that is when i noticed the free space droped in evox dash for G:\
from when it was just formated with xboxpartioner and took that as a good sign, it was..)
would have liked to have one big F:\ but when the first time i tried it failed after 300GB loaded
and waisting a lot of time, so when it finally worked i was over it

boxplorer G-patched reports (500GB HDD)
F:\ 123,408MB
G:\ 345,825MB
stock partions 8GB
477GB total (slack 23GB ~ 95% of 500GB)
it is now 99% full with no problems

750GB * .95 = 712GB total, if not..........

you can use NKPatcher11 from my sig and compile whatever version you want
along with other options, but some find it hard to figure out.
if you want to try use NKP11_U03

xman i'm confused with nkpatcher.
do i run the make files on my pc? and then ftp the new default.xbe to the xbox?

or do i put this stuff on the xbox and do it from there?

i was reading elsewhere that krazie's softmod installer has a .67 option...do you think it would be easier for me to go for that option?
this nkpatcher doesn't look TOO complicated...

YES
and what you discribed

QUOTE

here's what i'm going to try- get this .67 patcher thing going
retry xbpartitioner in the f: 274g g:whatevers left setup with BOTH formatted in 32k clusters
reformat both drives through unleash x

should work
let xboxpartioner set the F:\ size (default some where around 245-275GB) don't force it

you compile NKP on the PC and use the default.xbe

so then i just ftp it to the xbox and THATS IT???

yes, but if you have a ShadowC
use the game save to disable it and then FTP
make sure the config.inc is set the way you need it...
also set it to boot dvd first just in case...that way it can boot a dash disk (slayers or other)

I'm GUESSING its because my dash isn't 5960. Is there a way for me to upgrade the dash at this point

if the gamesave is still working you can allways FTP and fix anything
slayers2.6-2.7 has all the original 5960 MS dash files for the C:\ drive

you can allways try Kingroach's NDURE installer for PC (then FTP it in)
but you will need the 5960 dash files first

poopiemagee · « **Reply #23 on:** January 30, 2007, 11:41:00 AM »

I really don't understand why upgrading my dash is such a huge task.
My box started resetting itself endlessly so I just formatted the drive and started over.

Once I got back into the softmod I put in Slayers and upgraded the dash.
My box began restarting endlessly again, so I went back into my softmod and reinstalled the softmod and unleash x.
Now I'm back on my original dash and I'm wondering why I'm having such a problem upgrading the dash. Is it because I'm using unleash and not evox?

Is there a tutorial anywhere to teach how to do it? I really feel that this is my last barrier. Once I do this I can use xbpartition successfully. Please help.

To upgrade your MS Dash to 5960 you can play a newer game with xboxlive. I always load up Halo2 and try to login to xboxlive before I softmod a xbox. You can go to the MS Dash and go to setting then system info. The screen will scroll down and it will later show some numbers and stuff. Look for the line that starts with a D and look for 5960 in that line. If you don't see 5960 in the line that starts with the D then you need to upgrade it someway. Halo2 always seems to work for me.

Not sure if you got the Nkpatcher thing yet, but...

If you used krazies Ndure you can copy over the EXTRAS folder and then load that up on the xbox. Go into krazies extras and type in the password (AYBX). There it should say either "Install Nkpather .06" or "Install Nkpatcher .67. If it says install .06 then you most likely have .67. But if you just installed Krazies Ndure then it is most likely set to .06 like it was for me (default setting).

I have also read that UnleashedX has a good option for formatting.

Hope this helps.

Dan this box is already modded...but now I know that I should try to do this FIRST.

I was just looking around my xbox hd and I can't even find msdash.xbe...I think that could be the problem here...I don't even have the dash on the drive to upgrade in the first place!

I have NOT installed krayzie's- it won't let me.
I can't stress enough- I have a softmodded box here. How or where can I get ANY msdash.xbe?

I'm lost here. I bet you a million $ that this is exactly why I've been having these problems...I don't an msdash to upgrade to begin with! Where does it reside? I checked C and E:Backup

dan_plus_o · « **Reply #26 on:** January 30, 2007, 03:57:00 PM »

I don't have a msdash.xbe either.

I do however have a xboxdash.xbe

poopiemagee · « **Reply #27 on:** January 30, 2007, 05:19:00 PM »

Yes but I need to update MSDASH not xboxdash.

Let me explain my problem.

I have a 750gb hd.
I can't get the box to see over 500gb. Once I hit that mark it simply will not copy anymore.
So I need to reformat with xbpartitioner but before I do that I must update my msdash to 5960 (I forget why to be honest

-oh yeah, because xbpartioner won't format a drive that large w/o it)
I've tried a myriad of ways to update the dash but every time I do I get an error msg saying

batch process failed
the last item was .
Action: rename

Now I'm not sure of this 100%- but I highly suspect that I'm getting this msg because I'm missing files in my E:Backup, among them msdash.xbe

At this point I'm hoping someone comes along and says ah-ha- I had this problem- here's what you've got to do!

dan_plus_o · « **Reply #28 on:** January 31, 2007, 02:08:00 AM »

What softmod did you use? If you have your EEPROM you can always rebuild with xboxhdm. Start from a stock drive (using xboxhdm), run a newer xboxlive game to update dash (rent one if need be), softmod with krazies ndure, use krazies extras to change to .67, then use xbpartioner to change the clusters. There is a update.xbe on the C drive. Wouldn't hurt to give that a go.

poopiemagee · « **Reply #29 on:** January 31, 2007, 07:56:00 AM »

I used SIDS Splinter Cell Exploit.

It sounds like a fine idea dan...I'm going to try it. What have I got to lose?

I just wish someone could tell me why I'm getting that error message. I looked all last night and could find nothing definitive. Frustrating. I'll let you know how I make out...gotta get XboxHDM first.

Thanks everyone.
