Those specific symptoms aren't like any I've heard before... but they point to a corruption file index, and that would suggest the drive isn't formatted quite right...

Run the EvoX dash and note the free space on F. Transfer a single file (10kb or less) to that partition, and subtract the new free space figure from the old. Divide the result by 1024, and the answer should be 32. Does this match for you?

for test:
added a subfolder with the latest t3ch release
same issue: is not xbmc

Ok, so this is something new, then.

Backup whatever valid files are left on the drive, then stick it in your PC and format it to NTFS/FAT32/whatever it is your operating system uses.

(Assuming you're running Windows 2000 or later, you can do this by right clicking "My Computer" and selecting "Manage" from the context menu. The "Drive Management" section of the window that appears allows you to format the drive.)

Once that's done, right click the drive icon in Windows Explorer, select Properties on the context menu, and give the error checking tool a go (it's under the Tools tab). Make sure you tell it to do a complete sector scan.

Once it's done, look in the Event Viewer (right click My Computer => Manage) for a log with the "WinLogon" source listed (I think it'll be in the Application section, to memory). This should show you the results of the drive scan. If it reports a single bad sector, write the drive off as defective, and replace it.

sounds like it wasnt formatted and partitioned correctly... i personally suggest after doing the scan.. research... and use.. xboxhdm..(awesome linux boot CD that allows u to build/rebuild a xbox filesystem) preferably 1.9... its older.. and has a few limitation...(can only use from a CD... not DVD or USB thumb drive.. just CD) but its the only one ive managed to use with out some sorta corruption..

Hi, i have a similar problem on my hard disk! i was copying some file via dvd player and in the middle my xbox frozen. At reboot the partition E: (destination of the copied file) was inaccessible. Unleash finds the the drives except E:
I tried with xboxhdm but i don't understand how to launch the cd that i burned.

Can someone help me?
I finally booted with xboxhdm and the only option that suite my case is:
5) Wipe an existing xbox fatx partition table. Intended for corrupted xbox
   HD's that the user wants to rebuild from scratch.
It'll delete all the files? I must backup everything (200Giga)?

You could try using XBPartitioner to re-format E (which it displays as partition number 1).

Note that it doesn't like formatting single existing partitions unless you tell it to use a different capacity to what it previously detected. If it picks up the size of E, shrink the partition before formatting it, then expand it back up to it's full size and format it again.

I had this case happen to me before. I have a 750GB Seagate PATA IDE HDD with two big partitions, F 150GB amd G 550GB. Some of the movie files were mixed up, I'd click on the movie "Taken" and it would play something else. Also some other files were corrupt and it had a lot of incorrect file sizes. It was extremely weird, I had a backup on my 1.5TB in my Main PC, so everything slowly went back in. It's a pain in the ass.

I just reformatted the HDD with the X3ConfigLive. Loaded Slayers, and problem solved. I also had XBMC as a main dash. Now I just have it old school. EvoX and then XBMC with QuickBoot (holding R Trigger) and haven't had any issues then.

Hopefully this won't happen again to you, it sure blows.
