I formatted 6 times, each time it said that the drive was formated and I still can't ftp anything to my xbox drives. I can boot from the evox cd, I can ftp from the d drive to my pc but again I can not ftp anything from my pc to my xbox. I installed a 100 gb WD HD. HELP!

I've been reading through all of these tutorials, and this seems to be the one most pertinent to what I want to do.

Basically, I had a friend put in an X2.1 Lite for me, since I don't trust myself with a soldering iron. From what I understand, he used the Slayer Disc to put on Evox. I want to replace the HDD, install Evox, and set up everything to my liking (new BIOS, different EVOX setup, etc).

Assuming that I really don't care for the contents of the old HDD, and I just want the files needed to insure normal functionality and a working (and expandable) EVOX, what do I need to backup and then restore to the new HDD? Also, would the renaming of the .xbe files still apply, considering EVOX has already been installed a first time?

Please excuse any idiotic questions... I'm new to this whole thing, but I am doing my best to learn from the tut's and forums... it's just a lot of new new stuff to learn (especially considering the fact that I can kill my 'box completely). Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks-

Thanks much for the reply- I will try it like that.
It's hard to find basic information sometimes, so thanks for the help.
So if I'm getting this correctly, the C drive is the MS stuff, and the E drive is everything else (Evox, homebrew, apps, etc...) ... does that sound accurate?
Side note: I checked out your BIOS pre-set color mods on your site, but I couldn't d/l them... did you guys hit a bandwidth limit or something?

Thanks again Jake.

Yeah, that makes sense after I looked at my partitions. Thanks again-

From reading all the problems encountered by this "Simple" procedure.. It looks like the answer is SLAYER'S

INSTALLER afterall.

What were the problems. All I read was .."I figured it out. " That does not help anyone reading this info.

Wow this method worked perfectly for me. You should also mention to go into the evox.ini file and set use f drive to yes when you're done. Also for clarification in FlashFXP go to Commands -> Raw Command to get the command text box.

Chevy: What they "figured out" was that they did the same method with all partitions 1-6 instead of just 1,2 and 6.

My only problem now is that I get an error 5 code when I boot up with the mod chip off. Any ideas on how to get it back to normal?

Doh!! Ok sorry about that. It means my hard drive isn't locked. *sigh*

QUOTE

Partitions X:, Y:, and Z: will be created automagically.

I have to ask, that I didn't see how X, Y and Z get created automatically/automagically. After formatting the partition 1, 2 and 6 and uploading EvoX onto C, in the 'system settings' menu of EvoX, it shows X, Y and Z has ZERO bytes of free space.
Is this normal?

BTW: what are X, Y and Z for?

omg, this was so easy. thanks for the tips. I was reading this at work and it looked kinda scary for some reason, went down to the geek shop, picked up a drive, came home and in like 5 minutes had my 120 gig drive booted up. thanks again!
