Umm - what do you have there?

It looks like some the rules for the FATX filesystem yes! Some characters are not allowed. The part about the case sensitivity cannot only be on the filesystem though. Clearly FATX can differenciate between XBOX and xbox. Just browse your xbox HD. How the kernel and apps find files is another thing. They might not be case sensitive. We know that xboxdash doesn't even care about the name of the font files. Just the extension.

But what are you trying to do? The FATX filesystem is as it is. No fix to be made. It you wanted to use special characters you would have to load a kernel that supported other filesystems (ext2 or a hacked FATX). If you have an upgraded HD you could make another partition and format it for a new filesystem (using a special hacked bios).
Running linux on the xbox you can f.ex format partitions as ext2. They would not work with your mod switched off though.

Sorry if this is a stupid question.. but where am I able to download this file? I've looked around and I havn't been able to find it.. Maybe I'm just blind and it's' right infront of me. Is it on Xbins?  Thanks for your help.

If you specifically want that then you need to use a different filesystem, or make a hacked fatx. In principal it shuold be posible to run a different filesystem on the F-partition. You need a bios/kernel that supports it though (as well as keeping X,Y,Z,C,E fatx).

If it's just the renaming that is an issue, have a look at : http://www.socautil.com/

QUOTE (From xbins.org)

XboX HD Maker V1.2
I know, already version 1.2. Lots of things have been improved though.
It's now an all-in-one package since ALL tools needed to lock/unlock,
build, clone xbox HD's are included.

Changes/addition :

- Added floppy-drive support to kernel.
- Warn users when running HD locking tools from CD. Passwd logs
  are gone after reboot. Users have the option to store the logs
  on floppy though.
- New option in xboxhd. Choose 5) to generate HD key for current HD.
  Eeprom is needed. Put in eeprom folder before burning CD.
  Only sligt modifications of code from the xbox-linux project to
  fit this non-xbox setup (thanks authors).
  I believe the passwd's to be correct but save then anyway!
- New option in xboxhd. Choose 5) to make a DOS floppy with
  locking/unlocking tools.
- New command line command 'xbrowser' will mount source CDROM and
  xbox C- and E-partitions (if present) and run semi-graphical
  filemanager (Midnight Commander). Makes modifications to xbox
  HD content more user-friendly.


Toturial edited to reflect changes.

As you see, I found these changes to be worthy of releasing. I hope you will find the filemanager usefull, and with the HD key generation it should no be nessecary to boot to windows to build a new drive. Save the HD key though. I only tested this tool on my own drive - where the hd key was in agreement with LiveInfo.

Spent some time trying to lock and unlock the drives from linux, but no succes yet. Will let this be for now. Taking too much of my time  dry.gif
Also, a planned addition is a version of xbedump with all known public keys.

So all in all. Build this CD with working C and E files, put your eeprom.bin in the eeprom folder, and feel safe hacking...

BTW. The hd key generation also works for a locked drive.

Again, good work!

However, it seems to be in the wrong location at "the usual places", so it took me a while to find (and I didn't see v1.3 there).  This Linux package runs on a PC, so it should go in the PC section (it's currently in the XBOX section).  It's not a Linux distribution to be run on the Xbox itself (as I understand it).

I can only find version 1.2 in "the usual places." Is there somewhere where version 1.3 can be obtained?

Sorry, but one more question:

If I don't have my eeprom, is this tool totally useless to me? Is there anything I can do if my xbox won't boot up?

QUOTE (ldots @ Apr 18 2004, 11:52 PM)
TIP : Hotswapping with this linux distro is easy. I recommend the following. Place your xbox so that the PC's primary master ide cable will reach the xbox HD. Pull the DVD IDE cable and boot the xbox. It will stop with error 12. At this point the xbox HD is unlocked and will stay this way. Put you xboxhdm bootable CD in the PC and boot. At the boot-prompt it will stop for 5 mins. The bios has done its hardware detection without the xbox HD attached yet - linux still hasn't. So at this boot prompt you pull the ide-cable on the xbox HD, and plug in the primary master ide cable of the PC. Then hit enter to boot to linux. After booting, execute 'xbrowser' to see if the drive was found.

I don't understand this part....

Do u mean that I should boot my PC with everything connected to its IDE cables, I have 2 HDD on my primary IDE and 2 DVD on my secondary.

When linux boot I should disconnect the PC primary IDE, meaning no PC HD connected in PC, and connect this IDE cable to the xbox hd?

so far I tried this:

1. Let the PC boot with linux with  all the HDDs connected
2. when boot screen appears with the three choices I unplug the PC IDE CABLE and connect a NEW cable from xbox hd to PC motherboard primary IDE slot.
3. let linux boot with option 1. I get many error on the boot like something seek error for the harddrive... not sure what it said....
4. try to run xbrowser but it can't find my HD

then I did like this.....

1. Let the PC boot with xbox hd connecte to the primary IDE
2. let linux boot with option 1. I get many error on the boot like something seek error for the harddrive... not sure what it said....
3. try to run xbrowser but it can't find my HD

what am I doing wrong.. please help me...

First of all. My apologies to everybody for a version mess-up. The version number on the release was correct - so was the "current-version" tag on the tutorial. It's version 1.2 now. Most have been tired yesterdag sad.gif It's all been corrected now - I hope.

The choice to put it in the XBOX and not PC section was not mine. I agree it seems more natural to put it in PC. Maybe the staff can do something.
