Plain & simple.....I installed a WD160GB hdd on my soft modded xbox,It only shows 123GB total on F:,I dont have a G: partition.I have looked at all other partitions & its not there.Why?         I used xboxhdm for my new hdd & done exactly what it said do.....I dont want anyone to do it for me ,i just need some feed back to see if this is normal or i  need to take it a step further with my soft mod,thanks...

make sure you use a bios that has lba-48 support.

lba-48 hdd support???,umm well i used ltools mech V1.7.5 to soft mod my box,so dosnt that bios support that,I want my 160GB- HDD-all of it,not 123GB boo...hooo,someone give me input.I will keep asking and reading till i get my answer.I have a xbox V1.4

[krayzie]

ltools was just a package that installed everything for you. It doesn't say anything on what selections you made. if you choose nkpatcher there is no lba 48 support on that. Otherwise you might want to upgrade you bios also. Remember this site DOES have a search function you can use. Don't be afraid of it.

yes,well trust me when i say that i have used this search feature you & so many others talk about.I have used it countless times to find answers to my problem and to find postings that may or may not explain my particular prob & then only to find that if it does have something simular to what im experiancing theres so much pc lingo that i dont understand it and it doesnt really help anyway.so thats when i come to the point of asking a ?? directly..  Just a thought,thanks

oh yea,I used the ltools mechV1.7.5 for my softmod.i dont believe i used the nkpatcher thing i used the ude & pbl stuff & loaded evox,i didnt choosed the m8,or that metoo or whatever its called,cuz my box isnt a 1.6.From what i can gather if a person uses itools mech 1.7.5 installer you have to upgrade you bios to install a hdd over 137GB??correct?

[anjilslaire]

You can use pblmetoo and m8 on a 1.0-1.6b box.

[mikek574]

so if i go back & install the pblmetoo or m8 it will support lba-48 for a biiger hdd upgrade,for a 160GB

[mikek574]

well been searching the forums & no idea on what to do yet about my hdd prob....up for suggestions.....anyone?

[anjilslaire]

123 gig on f:\ + 8gig for C+E+X+Y+Z =131 gigs.  Not too shabby considering that a 160 gig hard drive isn't really 160 useable gigs. Anyway, be sure you enabled G:\ support in the dash settings.

[mikek574]

yea i did eneble G:still shows OGB.I can save 1-2 games on my stock 8GB hdd,so i know that my soft mod programs & stuff isnt taking up about  30GB

[mikek574]

suggestions?anyone?

[mikek574]

Ok i learned I dont have to really have a G: partition,I could have one big F:,ok great,still why do i only have 123Gb total out of 160GB

[big ben bullet]

apparantly your f drive is partitioned to be 123 Mb

so if there is extra space on your HD it will be in G:

have you *formatted* G: yet? (you can do this in evox by adding an extra menuitem -> search for format and evox.ini)

also... if you built the hd with xboxhdm you also have to consider the fact that your pc's bios might not have supported the extra space, in wich case you can probably still format it trough you box though (i'm not sure)

also.. try being a bit less insistent when asking questions... everyone is here on voluntary basis and don't have to answer your questions at all if they don't want to...

you otoh are almost 'demanding' help like in fe:
