Id like to know if theres any documentations on the xbox drives (c,d,e,f,x,y,z) ... Because im trying to read the content of a dvd on drive D: but i see no files ... odd. Anyhow.

                                    Are you writing software on the Xbox?

Err.. Ok

C = Root Partition - Has dashboard
D= DVD Partition - Has the files of the currently inserted dvd
E = Storage Partition - Has saved games
F = Storage Partition - Contains extra nonused space if you have a drive > 8 GB
X = Cache Partition  - Stores temporary stuff
Y = Cache Partition  - Stores temporary stuff
Z = Cache Partition  - Stores temporary stuff

Speaking of the X, Y and Z drives...  I know they store temporary information with the current application using Z:....

But does anyone know how this is done?  Is it some sort of MRU queue that loads during the bios's bootup?

                                    From the programmer's perspective, the system boots up applications with a D:, T:, U:, and the X:, Y; Z: drives. The last three are utility drives.

These are symbolically linked; D:\ is wherever the program sits, even if it's in a subdirectory of what most users think of as the "E:" drive.

In fact, C:, E:, and F: have to be symbolically linked by the application itself in order to be seen.

Of course, the accuracy of the above info is not 100% because I'm on my way out of the door at work, not at home with all my Xbox info.
