woofis, I can disable my f drive through my evox.ini file, and still see my f drive with dvd2xbox.
If I ftp in through my pc (with the f drive enabled), it shows the f drive as empty.
If I leave the f drive turned on, it takes me over an hour just to try and get it to load to the secondary (launch) menus

| befor reformating it, you could unlock it and stick it in a pc. then use one of the pc xbox harddrive explorers to look at the drive.... |
I have my drive unlocked already, so that wouldn't be a problem, but would that give me any different results than using flash fxp?
I also remember reading that cleaning out your cache can solve some HD problems, I tried that with no luck, now I'm going to try deleting all my games saves (after backing them up of course). Is there anything else that I could try before giving up and reformatting?

If your evox install became corupted somehow, evox might not think that there is a drive, when there actualy is...
It might not help, but it shure won't hurt.
You might also try reinstalling evox, not with an auto installer, but manualy...
cheers

well, I now reinstalled my EvoX, but it didn´t do anything...sorrily..
About the "put the HD into your PC" idea: I like it, and I didn´t even know that there are such tools as a "browse your XBOX HD in your PC". My problem is though that my PC has this ugly BIOS limitation and actually has only half of ther processor speed than the XBOX has
I won´t flash my PC bios, since teh comp is about to get thrown out anyway...So: Can I overcome this BIOS limit problem in order to take a look at my XBOX HDD? (e.g. let it boot, then switch IDE´s??)
Next thing: Since I guess that I won´t get around reformatting my 120 GB Segate Barracuda, my problem is to find a tool to sort of LOW LEVEL FORMAT my drive.. does slyaer or X-DISK include this ddep formatting option? Or how would you guys go about reformatting it?
This question is sort of crucvial, as I am afraid that my HDD now has a physical error, so in 2 weeks the same thing probably happens again. ANy tools which deep format & tell me if there was a defect (and at the best "close" those sectors so this won´t happen again)? (Tools for the XBOX)
So many questions
Thanxs 2 all of you for trying hard to help me out here

To mount and read the xbox drive in my PC, I used xbox-hdm which is a bootable linux CD with a bunch of tools for preparing hard drives.
After rewriting the partition tables using this program, I was able to browse the F drive in my PC (using the xbrowser program). Everything appeared to be intact. However, when I removed the drive and reinstalled it in my Xbox, the problem was still there. I was frustrated at this point and said f-it. I backed up C and E, then used the evox hdprep cd and just reformatted everything, then restored my C and E drives. F now works fine, but all data previously on it was lost.
I think I would have at least been able to pull data off of the F partition when I had the drive in my PC, but I never tried.
A link to the xbox_hdm software can be found on this website somewhere (took me a while to find it).
