Fatx?
« on: February 11, 2003, 04:14:00 AM »
Right here, right now I will explain who I am. :o
I am a Computer Modder and mod the HELL out of pc. :P
I love getting my dremel dirty and my soldering Iron wet. :blink:
Now that my warranty has come to expire soon my eyes have stubled to the BOX. :unsure:
I am doing a window mod on the dvd drive and I am thinking about a window mod in the HDD is there a way I can (without a modchip as I do not have one 'YET') format a HDD to the FATX format so I can copy all the data to an old drive (say a 2gig drive) and try the mod in that drive be=4 atticking the default HDD. and then if that works I can do a 120gig drive.
so can this be done within window or anything.

So
Format old HDD to FATX (if that is the correct format)  :huh:
Copy Data form XBOX HDD to Old HDD
Do Window mod
See if HDD still works  :P
Then do to the XBOX HDD then when money allows
Buy 120gig then modd again. :D   :)
Cheers

Not without a modchip. There is no way to copy the data from the drive. And you can't format a new drive without the modchip, because you cant use the evox or slayer install. And you can't ftp without a modchip. See a pattern here. You can't do anything without a modchip except play origina games and audio cd's.

you'll also need x y or z if you plan on testing if games work so 8 gigs is pretty much minimum
