When your done with the mod you will only see like 120-something GB's but dont worry you just have to format G.
UnleashX can format the G partition releasing the remaining 360-some GB 's

Not that it matters since Trebz is going 80Gb at this time but this method (using UnleashX to format a 360Gb G drive partition) is the way to data corruption down the road. Hit 250Gb and you should be looking at xbpartitioner.

Good morning Gents.

The project is complete.

Last night i cracked it finally. The Xbox is now running the new Dashboard as per Krazie's exploit. Built on a Western Digital 80 GIG 7200RPM HDD. I have XBMC running as an application. It streams video from t'internet and can access the NAS server over LAN to play music and video's / .avi's etc.

Many thanks for the pointers guys. Really appreciate you jumping in and helping me out.

Full post on the XBMC forum: The Full Story

All the best

Trebz

REALLY? I've never heard that. I have been doing it that way for years and never had any issues of the sort. I keep a few boxes in my house as well, and 3 of them have at least 500gb(all of which is well used) and like I said not a single problem.

This is a known problem and not a myth, see threads with disappearing files problems:

Do the necessary if you value your data.

Not saying I don't believe you , just that it hasn't been the case for me, for the last 4 years on 3 boxes. All my files have stayed intact and I use all of them equally as much as I use my 360. I just thought that was weird!
