I read once before about some way you could free up some extra space on a factory hard drive using Krayzies? I've searched, and now I cant find it...anyone remember this trick?

thx

Yes, It's as simple as formating your F: drive.

so u just run the command:

format f:

Item "4b2-6) Format only F: Partition",@265

from the slayers disk?

right now there is nothing showing on the F: drive at all?

also I read it only works on certain hard drives? how can you tell, and what would be the result of doing it to a drive that isnt compatible?

i just ran the command:

format f:

Item "4b2-6) Format only F: Partition"

from the slayers disk...this did nothing. It said formatting F: for a split second then said done. F: still shows 0

CODE

   Section "Root"
   {
   Item "MS Dashboard",ID_MS_Dash
   Item "Reboot",ID_Quick_Reboot
   Item "Power Off",ID_Power_Off
   Item "Format F:",@210
   }
   [Action_10]
   Info "Format F"
   Warning "This will format F"
   Progress "Formatting F"
   #
   # This will format F:\
   #
   Format f:

Which worked on my Xbox to get the extra 2 gb. But when I tried this on a few of my friends stock drives I get....

"Error in Action number
Action:10

Continue Yes/No"

I click yes, then it flashes "Done" real quick. But when I reboot, F: still says 0. So does this just mean they have an 8gb drive and not a 10gb drive (so can't be formatted)? Or did I do something wrong? I did not get this error message on my box.
