For me: I originally had a 120gb hd running x2 4976.02. I purchased a 160gb Maxtor and popped it in the xbox and placed the 120 in a friends xbox. I ran out of CDRWs so I just used a previously burned slayers 2.1 disk to install and format everything. I don't remember how much F was initially but it was over 120gb. I then flashed my x2lite through evox using both an x2 4976.02 and 4977 patched "partition 6 takes the rest of the drive" for both banks. I rebooted and installed yesterdays MXM 9n6 WIP release. I created a quick action script to format and mount f, rebooted and now have 155GB for F! I'll be spending the rest of today transfering my old E and F drives from the 120 to the new 160 via xToolBox's xbox to xbox FTP transfer...

How did you format your F drive for the new 250gb?

Formatted using Digital Chimp's BoxStaller....

I believe it uses a modified EvoX... but I'm not positive at all... I don't have it anymore.. so I can't check... but it was a great installer... better then Slayer's I'd say...

Using MXM, if you are only formating G - you can use either the ftp site command (kinda tricky-its a two step process) OR  with the format command enabled in the menu (script for mxm).

Note, if you use mxm...be sure to allow partition formating in the system menu.


Or you could use evox, just like when you first set it up... but if you are wanting to format G, then be sure to rem out the Format F option, and put one right below it for Format G.

Of course, there is also the handy little "recovery" script that's built in, when it detects a fresh drive....

Has anybody else used it? I formatted a new 60GB HD and set up the basic apps with it before releasing .5 (well, did that probalby 30 or 40 times, in debugging it - and every time had to manually 'reset' the drive by zeroing out key sectors on a PC)
