I made FAN.BIN for all values from 10%-100%. Download it here:

http://www.esnips.co...c65c660c650/fan

but what about those 2 entries in ntsp/default nkpatcher.67 menu, what's the difference between those two (since the titles are both only till 'w...')?

much appreciated, awesome...
now I can play certain backups from ISO on hdd which don't work in file-mode,
so my dvd-drive can safe it's energy & hopefully will last longer

[GregToR]

I've put the fan.bin file from the 20 folder (so at 20%, which was standard with my previous softmod), didn't change anything,
so I went into System Settings and went from 1x to 1,5x and after saving it went silent?!
looks like it does not respond if set to 1x (if I set it to 4x or so, then go to 1x, nothing happens,
if I go to 1,5x it goes more silent, but I wouldn't go lower than 1,5x, so it's fine now)

one more inconsistency: in the File Explorer of the UnleashX menu of E:/ndts/default.xbe I don't have G partition, and if I load XBMC from there, also no G?!
(tried installing nkpatcher.67)(in UnleashX dash of E:/dash/default.xbe I have the G drive (also visible in XBMC if loaded from there)
is that normal?

thanks,

take care &
Regards!

I've tried the Format menu in Toolset (E:ndts/default.xbe),
when I tried to format G, nothing happened (I think...),
G was still not seen in File Explorer of the Toolset UnleashX menu,

then I formated the F drive... now it's 186thousand MB big... (it's a 200gb drive),
but it should have stayed a max. 120gb partition with rest to G (nkpatcher.67)...

when I check outside toolbox, like in XBMC, the F is empty but still under 120gb
and the G is the rest, untouched by the formatting in the Toolset menu...

this can't be healthy?

the NKP11 folder is empty (except for the fan.big file that I've put in it)?
is that normal?
(when I install nkpatcher.67 in menu of Toolset, it goes like super fast, can't see what it copies...)

I've installed Kingroach's Ndure 3.1 Retail, with Kernel selected,
and dual boot (retail ms dash with eject)

anyone?

I don't understand why you would want to split a 200gb drive over F+G, but an easy way wold be to use xbpartitioner. nkpatcher will read the partition table and run with whatever you setup in xbpartitioner.

[GregToR]

true, might be more convenient to just go without G, cause now I have around  120gb on F and 60gb on G,

but I thought it's always better to not go over 120gb...

so for 180gb partition are standard clusters ok? or should I use 32kb clusters?

never used XBpartitioner, loaded it once, but looked too complicated and haven't looked into it yet...

what is the de-activation and activation of Ndure in Toolset for? to disable and enable the softmod?!
if I choose activate I get error 'Batch process failed... rename' or something?

I'm very thankful for the unleash dash that's standard in Ndure!
updated it to v0.39, it's menu outlay isn't as practical as EvoX, and it sure has some bugs I think (with fan settings & when u change IP), but I get network speeds of over 11mb/sec (mostly around 10,5mb/s)!
while EvoX and XBMC are mostly around 8,5 or 9mb/s...
is that because of the 'boost' feature of UnleashX ?

can the Ndure-3.1 installation (Kingroach) by ftp be done without losing files on F and G?
 (xboxhdm does not work with my pc, after it boots it can't find dvd-drive, like in this thread: http://forums.xbox-s...;#entry4164484)
because after I installed it F and G were empty, and I don't remember formatting those?

[kingroach]

you can do it by fto.. just make sure you read the ftp uploading instructions in the .pdf files. If you used F+G drive with previous mod, its unlikely that with Ndure 3/1's .67 bios wont work. If you tell me what version of nkpatcher your old softmod was using then maybe I can compile that version of nkpatcher with the ndure settings in it..

[GregToR]

the F and G partition did work fine in dashboard,
but not in the 'Toolset' menu (E:ndts/default.xbe), there only 1 big F partition and no G?!

can you just confirm that I'm doing everything right (this is for v1.0 with kernel 4034 & 200gb hdd):

1st - I put the C folder (with standard MS files of a XBox from 2005) in the Ndure folder,
2nd - I start Ndure-3.1.exe in which I select Retail with options: nkpatcher.06 (for hdd till 200gb) & my Kernel,
3rd - I ftp the by Ndure modified C and newly created E to freshly formatted C & E of the XBox,
4th - reboot and copy the standard unmodified MS C partition files (of an 2005 XBox) to the C (that appears to be empty because shadowC.img and the true C is only visible from inside the UnleashX Toolset in ndts)

then I format the F drive (with the menu of UnleashX),

et voila, softmod installed and everything running  
(I don't need to install or apply anything from inside the 'Toolset' UnleashX (E:ndts) menu?)

but I did replace the UnleashX dash that Ndure uses in E:dash, since it's v0.38,
and the UnleashX dashboard I copied from Auto Installer Deluxe is v0.39...
is there a way to update the one of the Toolset too (in E:ndts)? which files may be replaced to do so?

I'm going to switch to Ndure with my v1.6 Crystal 250gb Xbox too, only changes for that are different Kernel and I will not select nkpatcher.06 in Ndure setup, since I want 2x 120gb for F and G,

so am I doing everything right or am I missing something?

(from what I understand the NKP11 folder is empty and can be used to put in configuration files, does anyone have any of those? (I've got only fan.bin, but don't have the feeling it does anything at all...)

thanks,

Regards!

[kingroach]

you shouldnt need to worry about Ndure toolset since you wont use it for day to day use.. its mainly for doing small configurations within softmod and it only touches C and E drive.. to update you need to change the unleashx.xbe with new unleashx dashboard default.xbe. But changing that files wont make the G drive appear since it uses different kind of bios ( PBL).. You can format any drives within normal unleashx dash. You can also change the dash by replacing contents of E:\dash\ folder with your favorite one.

you might want to look at :

http://www.esnips.com/web/kingroach/

and download the npatcher used with ndure 3.1. It includes the original source files and documentation for producing config bin files. You can also compile your own bios with hardcoded fan speed.. But seems like unleashx overwrites the fan speed settings..

[GregToR]

thanks, yup, you're right  

only trouble left is indeed the fan speed in UnleashX,
played around with it, and if I select 1.00, then it's speed is actually 3.0 ...
so can't go slower then 1.50... which is still pretty loud on my Crystal v1.6 Xbox...

am I the only one experiencing that?

[GregToR]

I can answer that last one myself:

just changed 3rd Xbox to Ndure-3.1 with UnleashX v0.39,
it's also a v1.0 kernel 4034 Xbox,
and for this one the setting 1.0x works!

strange though, because it's one I fixed:
it had bad trace corrosion (it powered on when powerplug connected,
eject & power button did not function normal and only red light), which I was able to fix...
now it turns out it functions better than the other v1.0 and the v1.6 Crystal... nice  

anyone a clue?

[GregToR]

big problem:

friend of mine wanted XBMC dash to boot,

so I copied all files of XBMC to E:/dash,

but now it doesnt boot anything, not MS dash with tray open,
just stays black,

only loads original games...............

help!!!

[GregToR]

I even tried to install MS dash by trying to go to Xbox Live in a game...
but it gives an error, fails little bit over halfway...

it's a v1.2 Xbox from 2003,
but the kernel in the eeprom backup menu showed 5838,
which I selected to make the C and E files wit Ndure-3.1,
but isn't 5838 the newest kernel, can this older Xbox have that new kernel?
maybe it's the wrong kernel (I've heared that using the wrong kernel can cause not to boot...)

is it maybe because only the shadowC was installed,
normally after first boot I ftp the retail MS Dash files to the "empty" C (the shadowC),

does the XBMC dash not support that in any way?

or is it because there's no config file in root or E:/dash ?
(just the XBMC folders and its default.xbe in E:/dash)

it doesn't load AID dvd, only original games...
and the dual boot does not work, can't get into MS dash with open tray to put the savegames for exploit on.............

I've backup the eeprom etc to my pc,
please don't tell me I need to take out the hard drive...
what's the easiest way to fix this???

what if I were to clone the C and E partition with Chimp?
(of working v1.0 kernel 4034 or v1.6 kernel 5838 Xbox?)

but will that corrupt the F and G partition?
because it's a 160gb hard drive and may not loose files on F and G...

[GregToR]

can't seem to edit or delete my previous posts...

fixed it:
my Crystal Xbox hasn't got his screws in it,
so throwed it open,
booted into a menu with broken xbox,
booted in avalanche toolset with crystal xbox,
took out ide of hdd from broken one and put in the ide cable of crystal xbox (hotswap),
booted AID disc from there, re-installed softmod...

... et voila, softmod runs fine now and no data lost on F or G,

few... but sweeeeet  

-----------------------------------------

I think I might know what the problem was:
if I check now in XBMC, the kernel is 5101 !
while in the eeprom backup utility it was 5838 !?

is that the cause, or did I have to do something more to be able booting XBMC dash?

1. Download Kingroach's nkpatcher zipfile
2. Uncomment the line in config.inc: %define VIRTUAL_CDROM_DRIVE
3. Run make_nkp11.bat
4. Replace /C/bios/bios.xbe in my xbox with the newly compiled bios.xbe

After I did that, my 200gb F: drive (with 60gb of free space) turned into a 4gb blank drive. How do I make it so that I can see my whole F: drive again? I know all my data is still there because I can see it again when I replace the new bios.xbe with my original backed up bios.xbe.

EDIT: Nevermind, I should have read the entire config.inc before posting my question.

I just had to change the bios from .67 to .06 by editing:
%define PARTITION_METHOD 2 to %define PARTITION_METHOD 1
