Random Freezing And Losing F

You have to use XBPartitioner 1.1 or later to format partitions over 256GB or you'll get data corruption. That's almost certainly why your F partition is disappearing. You should always check the cluster size after formatting - see the link in my signature (Format hard drive / check cluster size) for details.

However, the softmod shouldn't disappear even if the F partition does become corrupt. Unfortunately you neglected to mention which softmod you installed and with which options, where you install XBMC, how you launch it (direct dash replacement or shortcut), or the symptoms when the softmod disappears (LED colour, screen message, will it run a game, will it run a rescue disc), so it's difficult to provide any firm advice.

Fix the cluster size first, then if the softmod problem persists post back with the information I suggested and we can take it from there.

I always install xbmc to E: nd i dont even use it as a dash..
but i would usualy leave about 1GB free space on E just to keep everything running nice and happy.

Cluster size tested good. Btw.. does anyone know what cluster size xboxhdm 1.9 uses? Also when copying files over to the xbox, does it matter what dash its on? (evox, unleash, xbmc, etc)

16K. This explains the attempt to bridge xbox Linux FATX to 32K/64K. But xboxhdm 1.9 is prior to my work so 16K it is.
