Bigger Hd Help
« on: August 25, 2004, 06:02:00 PM »

i just used the UDE2 installer on my xbox; it was a success.  How do i get the thing to recognize the full hd size of 200gb that i bought? do i just get a new bios and put it in the bios/ dir on drive E? or is it imopssible to get access to >137gb with softmods? thanks.

yes you need a bios that support the lba48, i believe there is a x2 bios that does, and also a hack m8 by rhenmal (i hope thats right).

after you have the bios in place and set to part6 takes the rest of the drive, you need to format your F and it should show the rest of the space.
