c:just as is
e: nothing but saves no tracks

Im gonna switch out my hdd. and i was wondering should i swap in a 120gb or go through the hassle of puttin' in a 200+gb hdd. If you could give me your opinion i'd appreciate it

There's really no extra hastle with a 200gb hard drive, it just requires you to reflash your bios with a modified one with LBA48 compatibility. Otherwise, they install the same.

It really depends on what is cheaper for you. 120GB hard drives can often be found for around $80USD, while most 200GB hard drives will always cost around $200.

Also, 200GB hard drives are more prone to fragmentation, which may slow things down a little if you are constantly deleting things. But this should not cause a problem, as it is rarely a problem.

Also, how many games will you need on your hard drive? My 120GB is full at 48 games, and a 200 would hold around 75 games. But then again, a 200 may sound good, but it's price tag may not be in the sam range as a 120Gb hard drive.

Yes. Note that the newest evox bios is M7.

Anyone working on an HDD defrag utility yet? I swear thats the reason why my latest backup (THPS4) keeps crashing. My xbox plays the .bik files from the HDD extremely slowly and then the whole thing just locks up at the Neversoft logo. Funnily enough, this has only started happening on the last few backups I've made, the first 8 or so worked fine and still do...

I hope this isn't a newbie question, but I haven't seen it mentioned at all in any thread.

I'm a bit worried that over time, my 120gb hard drive might get too fragmented from copying and deleting games. My 60gb HD in my computer has to be defragmented quite often because I extract, delete and move a lot of files.

Is there any program for evox that can defragment the hard drive? Or will this not be necessary?

I backup and delete games several time a day.
I think my HDD will need to defrag to get better performance(? maybe it will works?)

Is there any DEFRAG program for xbox HD?

Thanks

Not yet. Team Avalaunch is working on it. This information is widely available, so please try a search next time.

I've wondered the same thing myself.

Frenetic · « **Reply #342 on:** November 19, 2002, 06:55:00 AM »

See this could be an issue, but in all honesty since the xbox HD uses a different file system than fat32/ntfs it is also possible that files do not get fragmented.

Does anyone know the architecture of the file system of the xbox hard drive enough to know if it requires defragmentation, and thats only if fragmentiton occurs.

It may just need it, but I would not know...

Well you see you could delete and store for about twenty years and will maybe lose about 10 Mb or so...think of it like a minidisc. It's like frenetic said:

"but in all honesty since the xbox HD uses a different file system than fat32/ntfs it is also possible that files do not get fragmented."

but there is a program in development for defrag, check out xboxdevelopment site
