I look forward to getting this working myself. I got a Maxtor 250gig at Compusa a couple of weeks ago for $120. I had thought it was my kid deleting files on me not knowing. I am very glad I found this. Thanks for all of the hard work.

I have a 250 gig on mine and ive exceeded the 137 mark a while back....The games I put on after the 137 are playable...Or is this just for non modded boxes?

heh, then maybe I should start a new topic, I had to downgrade to a m7 .67 bios to be somewhat stable with my maxtor 250. If anyone is interested on if I see any more data loss I will post my findings in a day or two. Sorry to bring back such a old thread.

what the hell ill bump it also. and for thoughs who dont know by now yes you can go over 137 with a bios that has lba48. and yes you can go over 250 just need to use XBpartitioner and format with 32 byte clusters

New question to a REALLY old post.

Will the new 750gb Seagate Drive Work fine in the Xbox even with the 32 byte cluster partitioning?

What is the max size the Xbox can handle?

I really don't want to bye the new 750gb, fill it up and then have all my data start getting all messed up like it did when I didn't 36 byte partition my 400gb drive... Man did that suck lamma's.

Someone need to close this topic. If you have any questions POST A NEW TOPIC!

HardEight · « **Reply #10 on:** May 06, 2006, 09:17:00 PM »

MrDan, I Strongly disagree.

This Topic is completly relevent to my question.

Instead of somone having to search for the history of what is the largest hard drive and what relevent obstacles were overcome, they can start at the begining of this thread and see the histroy of the LBA48 hack, the 32k Cluster partitioning and the differences between F: and G: support.

NO Reason to close whatsoever... please feel free to contribute though, if you can!

Hi -

I've searched through the forums, and it appears that the largest hard drive supported is still 137GB (any larger drive will be limited to 137GB). Is that the case?

Xbox-Linux seems to support LBA-48 (where Xbox kernel only supports LBA-28, limiting it to 137GB), so it seems that it's not a 'chipset' issue (as was previously thought).

I think it would be simple to make the Xbox kernel support LBA-48 (I'm willing to do this), but I don't want to make the effort if it's already been done.

Thanks,

- Paulb

137 is the limit

oz_paulb · « **Reply #13 on:** August 24, 2003, 10:44:00 AM »

Can I assume that people would be interested in support for larger drives?
