Problem is that it doesn't give me a clue if it's done or not...

Just says "May take a while go grab a beer"...

Thats it..
What should it do once it's complete??
Should say something right?

Does it matter if the disks are unformatted, formatted, xbox-formatted or anything??

I'm using a modchip on the box where the disk is suppose to land, so don't think I'm gonna lock it afterwards... if I ever get it working.

BTW using XboxHDM 1.9


On boot, it says something about "idebus asuming 33Mhz override with idebus=xx", should I be bothered bout that?


//Edit

Missed that in your post smithrookie " i have noticed that it never says when it is done"...
So basically I should just guess when it's done?? That sounds quite crazy if u ask me.. should really say something bout it..

Maybe the author of the toll has something to say bout the matter?

.. FTP all the files you want from the hdd.. Copy as much as you can fit in xboxhdm/linux/E or /F then rebuild the hdd from stratch copy the rest that wouldn't fit on the cd though FTP.. At least with the FTP you get a ETA..

Nah.. have used that procedure for all others.. but thought I would save some time if it would take just an hour or so instead of several if I ftp the stuff instead.. like I said.. its lotsa data to transfer via FTP...  120Gb...

why dont use xbrowser to copy the files from one hd to another hd. It'll be a lot quicker than cloning.

my stuff does give you a "progress" indication, using the signal feature of dd.

My experience is it takes about 10-15 minutes to clone C + E. There is a theoretical limit of 16M/s as that is the max speed of the bus(33/2, as they share the same bus). Counting in the overhead, I think 10M/s should be sustainable. or about 1.5 - 2 min /G .

PC is usually faster because :

1. you don't put both drive on the same bus
2. PC is usually 100 or 133 instead or 33

So PC can be 8x(4x for bus speed, 2x for dual channel) faster, if the CPU and HD can sustain that.

I have personally used chimpanzee's Hd cloner. Works great. It copyed all the files from my original HD to my 20gig. After it transfered I put the drive on to my pc and checked the file structure (wasn't sure if it worked or not), then locked the drive.
