Like I mentioned before there is no g: to enable or format, you didn't set the drive up that way. The partition has to be there, format doesn't create it. You can either reflash the correctly edited bios or rebuild the drive to fit the bios you edited. LBA48 is not F: and G:, that was created before LBA48 was available to allow for drives over 137g to use the extra space.

[_iffy]

in EVtool in the lower left hand corner there is a drop down menu, in that menu select
"partition6 takes up to 137gb/partition 7 takes the rest"
save
FTP your bios to C:\bios
in EvolutionX select setting\flash bios
select your new edited bios and hit "y" to start
-it will say erasing than writing.

your new bios is in.

in UnleashX settings (you'll find it) enable g:
in UnleashX choose format g: (password Xbox - case sensitive)

in the main menu in UnleashX you should see g with your missing space.
if you did these three things you do have a G:

evolution X won't show G: underneath F: and e: but it is there.

dvd2xbox u should see it/boxplorer u should see it but in xbmc u have to "scan the HDD" (so to speak)
u do this by clicking right thumb stick then the next menu to the right of "turn off" (directions from t3ch's cvs builds) by the way to see your default.xbe's in xbmc/evox u have edit your .XML/.INI to look in your g:

i highly recomend getting UnleashX for formating and xbmc for a new dash.

now please note : me and rabid1 seem to be giving u conflicting info regarding partitions. understand that this method worked for me, but there might be something i don't know that he's trying to tell you.

keep at it your almost there

[_iffy]

you only have to format the g: drive
but you do have to format

get UnleashX

u can delete it when this is all done if you want.

question
1) can u see "g:\" anywere? DVD2xbox/boxplorer?
2) is there space on it? eg: 0.00bytes
3) what apps do you have - list

i'm pretty sure you have to "enable g:\" in dvd2xbox's settings for dvd2xbox to see it

UnleashX can format the g:\ only.
you do have to format g:\

keep at it your almost there.

if you want to use the bios with partition 7 takes the rest, then you are going to have to use the HD wizard or Slayers to rebuild the drive to match that bios. Other wise just edit a bios to partition 6 takes the rest and flash it. You will have one large f:. Currently you have no g: partition to enable or format, that is why you can't see it.

Ok, I will reflash with thie new bios modded with "partition 7 takes rest", see if that works.

_iffy,

 G: shows as unavailable under XBMC.  Evox settings shows G: 0 MB.  DVD2xbox shows no G: partition and cannot set enable to yes in settings.  Boxplorer shows G: 0 MB as well.

Programs: All from Slayers, Evox 3539, XBMP, XBMC, Avalaunch dash, DVD2xbox (upgraded to 7.2), PxHDDLoader, Boxplorer

try what rabid1 says

QUOTE

I tried formatting just the g: drive with slayers, still 139G

so if you now got another 6g that's 145g which is about all you are going to get. If you format F: you will not loose save games they are kept on E:. F: is not recognized by the MS system.

[_iffy]

manufacturers use 1000kb=1mb when they calculate 160GB when actually 1024kb=1mb
so u will never get all of whats advritised.

[_iffy]

ok,
zep,
i want you to re-read this entire topic.
your first post u said u have 127gb/ later you said u have 139gb
then i want you to give me your HDD numbers
c:\
e:\
f:\
g:\
x:\
y:\
z:\
total space = ??.??GB

we will go from there.
