i would say that your nkpatcher is configured to use G as Actual C drive..
not so sure on all this, but even though you have such a small hdd, and using 06, it might be that the G is no real partition, only C is showed as both C and G...
either change nkpatcher settings to not use Actual C drive, or disable G.

this is what i think, and the first time ive replied to someone who needs help.
i just hope my answer was correct. ( i believe so)

It didn't screw the HD, you just have ACTUAL_C_DRIVE 7 option enabled. You shouldn't use that without a shadowc.img. So disable it in config.inc and recompile.

If you keep using this configuration your C drive may get corrupted because the kernel has independent data structures in memory for all file systems, so two file systems (C drive and G drive) mustn't correspond to the same data on the HD.

Confirmed - it has to be a config-error.
I just tried to replace the uxe_complete_v0.2 files with the previous version uxe_complete_v0.1, and when I enable the G-drive (under evox) it shows up as having a size of 0 (as it should). And remember, I never compiled nkpatcher myself, I just used the precompiled one in the uxe_complete packages.

The thing is, other people might get their hdd corrupted due to this fluke - think I'm gonna PM devz3ro about this thread.

Thanks for explaining rmenhal. Re-compiled without that option. (Which it shouldn't have in the first place since it's geared toward xbox owners with G drives). My mistake.

Here is a quick fix, test this out. I didn't get a chance to yet so if ok, I'll replace with the one found in the usual places

They will work with either ude2-complete-v0.2 or uxe-complete-v0.2

Can somebody repost dev's complete-v0.2.2-nkpatcher-fix.zip file? The AOL site link doesn't work anymore.

Thanks.
