Thanks Paul, I look forward to installing a huge drive once they come down in price.

Thanks for the great job.

n00b question:

If I want to upgrade and swap my current WD 120GB (2MB Cache) HDD with a larger drive, can I use your patch to do so?

Also, since I got my HDD prepared for me, I want to "ghost" all the data from the current drive to the future larger one. Can I still use the patch?

Thanks!

Sw33t....I've got one of these:

Sitting on my desk at work ATM - so me can see 5x250gig drives going in there....thats 1 TB of RAID 5 storage  I'm sure that an xbox would make a cheap file server

Yep, sweet it works.  Patched the .xbe file, got an extra 26GB from my 160GB!  Cool!  Thanks paul.

Can people post their lockable 200GB or 300GB HD Model #?

Looking to upgrade now.

I've got a Maxtor 300GB K01J300.  It's the only 300GB I've seen by Maxtor.  It locked with Config Magic and is formatted to 291 GB with Paul's fix!  You can find it at Outpost.com.

Ok stupid question but its 1am in ireland and im up since 5am.

Can i get the extra 26gb from my 160 drive to the G partition without formatting it or do i have to format the entire drive to get the extra space

If so how, please put me out of my misery,

ryan neil, yes you can get the extra 26 GB without formatting your F.  I did not want to backup my entire F all over again.  You just need use xboxtool to enable lba48 then ignore partitions and let G take remaining GBs...flash the bios, patch the default.  Check your evox.ini to see if format G: command is in there...then all you do is format G: drive without touching others...

downside to G: is the apps don't see it...like boxexplorer or xtoolbox.  but autoitem within the xbox does, so loading games on there is no problem.   Just manually ftp files...no big deal.

Ha ha ha

If I upgrade my current WD HDD 120GB (2MB Cache) to a bigger one, how can I first:

1 - Ghost (or clone) the contents of my current to the new HDD that I would buy?

2 - When I apply this patch, does it "automatically" creates a Partition G?

3 - Normally games would go in F partition, what is the purpose of this G partition the? Does it allow games to be read off of it?

Thansk in advance.

You can get OEM HD for about $1-$1.05/gig, at that price their a steal

And yes their 7500RPM some even 8mb cache

*EDIT*

Newegg.com has MAXTOR 250GB 7200RPM ATA133 HD 8MB cache 9ms seek OEM $262

mwave.com has Western Digital 250GB 7200RPM ATA100 HD 8MB cache 8.9ms seek OEM $249

Of course if you find cheaper websites then SPIT IT OUT! websites that you bought from please none of this pricewatch crap, i've purchased more then $3k from newegg within the past 2yrs, also dealt with mwave.

Hi,

one question relating to cloning a hdd:
The x-box tutorial says that it there could be problems with cloning
a smaller to a bigger hdd, can someone confirm or negate that?

Thx

Xmo

[Cannibalistic]

That's what I keep asking and no one has given me an answer...

[chinmi]

AFAIK....
if you have an original un-modified xbox hdd, the clone process will only clone the 1st 8 Gb of data.... the rest of drive F is un-cloned, so you have to format the drive f to make a full use of it's capacity
