250gb Hdd W/xenium Ice

Sounds like you may have the non LBA48 version of the bios ...

What you need is evtool to edit the bios to enable it, and select from the dropdown in the lower left corner "Partition 6 takes rest of drive".

hope that helps....

Note: After you update the BIOS you'll need to reformat F:. Then all the space should be available.

cool.gif Use a 6+7 BIOS and format G to take the rest of the space.

Did you try to reformat the f: partition?  Then load everything back to it.

I am having the same problem.  I got a xenium ice chip w/ evox m8_16 bios w/ xbox v1.6 that only see 137 gigs of the 250 gigs of hd space.

lhb12778, I got it to work by following watcher64's instructions.  I used evtool 1.0.6.  The process was pretty simple.  I opened up the original 256k m8_16 bios into evtool and made sure the selection in the bottom left hand corner was on "Partition 6 Takes Rest of the Drive" and then I selected the file size to be 1024k.  Then I clicked save as "BIOS.BIN"  I burned the bios to a cd and reflashed the xenium and reformatted the F drive.  I can now see that I have 241 gigs available for the F partition.  Hope this helps... good luck.

Glad you got it working ni66e12.

The only thing that you do NOT need to do is save it as a 1024k bios, just select whatever size it was originally, if it was a 256k bios, you may want to leave it at that.
But since you have a 1.6 there is only one bios you can use right now, so it will not hurt to fill up all the Xenium bios slots with a single 1024k bios..

Warning XBpartitioner saves partition table to hard drive so Linux does not see it, If your interested in mounting the f drive in linux you must use xenium format. not Xbpartitioner.
