Cool how long did it take to copy, and how many gigs did you copy?

...how long did it take to copy...?

A very long time if your copying more than 1gb

Will smartdrive do the large F: drive?

Yes if its under the 137gb limit.
But then again it takes a super long time to copy;
hours and hours, maybe days.

Will it allow format for a 160 gig HD?

No, you'll have to use other means to format it, ie Evox.

In short, Smartdrive Upgrade is best used when:
1) You are upgrading from an original XBox HD.
2) The 'copy from' HD has less than 1000mb of data.
3) The 'copy to' HD is under the 137gb limit.
In this case it is very fast.

For example, I had an original XBox HD with about 100+ saves of KOTOR which turned out to be 4gb of data on E:, It took so long I gave up after 2 hours while copying and did it the old fashion way.

Thanks for the reply, I think I will hold off on trying to back up that 90gigs of data on my drive.

just use slayers auto installer. my 160 gig hd is running great.

I just loaded everything on my stock box hdd,  (meaing evox) then did the smart drive thingie to my 160gb drive,  put that in, formatted the extra space, and blamo,  running like a champeen.   If I ever decide to go back to stock xbox harddrive I can always run the stock drive util from the Slayers disc.

Just do a search for the lba48 patch and read the info. Patch your bios using xbtool with lba48, then format f: partition using slayers.



I suggest staying away from the smart drive upgrade. It causes more problems then solutions. The best way is run slayers to format your drive.....back up your old drive using ftp to your pc...then ftp it back to the new drive. STAY AWAY FROM SMART DRIVE UPGRADE! I already lost one chip to this, and many others have lost theirs also with no refund.

I formatted the extra space with Flash FXP. Use the RAW ftp commands.  I forget where I acutally saw the command,  but its around here somewhere.
