HDD Compatibility Partition Fixer v1

From the readme/nfo:
Quote

XeDev proudly presents a Xbox1-Compatibility-Partition Fixer. It will create a proper Partition2 on a X360-HDD that was formatted via XBReboot. Be sure that you reboot your console after executing this program. XeXMenu(info)'s FTP won't see the Partition until there's a file on it, so copy a file via XeXMenu on it and it will be shown via FTP too.
This Patcher does NOT include the XBox1-Emulator files!

!!! WARNING !!!
This application will wipe your maybe existing Partition2

Official Site: http://xedev.xbins.org
Download: n/a (built with XDK)

interested to see if this will make the partition 0 too as would be perfect then and quick to do

In meantime, typically just before this came out lol, I made this http://forums.xbox-scene.com/index.php?showtopic=703986  which worked for me earlier today with no messing about hex editing etc.  Hopefully if it does do all 3 partitions though it will be a top app

So whats the benefit of this? Dont really understand it

basically as i understand it , when you format a non microsoft hard drive on a jtagged console , it does not create partition2(this partition i think is for original xbox compatability) , this app creates it for you without hex editing , and allows jtag users to use original xbox games biggrin.gif

it does not put the Xbox emulator files in place.  but to fix the xbox emulator, grab your OEM Microsoft drive and hook it to yer PC and run Xplorer360 Extreme2 then backup partition 2 and then restore partition2 on your large drive you used this app on.

If I use this to create partition2, can I install the xbox emulator from the 2007 system update I downloaded from xbox.com? I just don't want to install 2007 system update if it will mess up my xbr and/or homebrew.

My XBR formatted my Hitachi 250 GB HDD (non official) just fine, and Partition2 is there and all.

Installed the Backwards compatibility update and it did install.

Using XeXMenu can see the stuff in it... but........ I can't see it via FTP from my PC  blink.gif

God hates you!!!!
Just put something in the HDDX from xexmenu, if that does not work, I don't know what else to do...

I've tried this partition fixxxer and worked great for me.

What happens if you just run the last backwards compatibility installing xex from microsoft with xbr/non-ms hdd?

I did that, and it created a hddX partition viewable in xexmenu. I don't have any compatible xbox 1 games, however. So I'm not sure if it is functional. The couple non-compatible games tell me I need to download them again, which seems to be a strange error. I then copied over the files from my old 20gb ms hdd. (Don't have a computer I can do this all on, so it seemed fortunate that I could do it all from the 360). I'm also not sure if partition 0 or 1 were created. I actually can't find any information about what these partitions are for, other than partition 0 being cache related (mandatory?).

The system compat updater only installed what amounts to a title update con for me, and going by the size of the data on a retail drive's compat partition (ie ~200M) the update xex is far too small to contain all of that data.

The system menu's format drive option (according to xplorer360) created all the system partitions except the compatibility one.

I wanted to know if anyone could help me with this? I have used the partition fixer and can see hddx on the menu. I have tried install the backwards compatibility update and even tried the Fusion update. So I wanted to ask someone here if they knew where to put the emulators files on this new created partition? I have a couple Retail games that are on the compatibility list like Guilty Gear so I just wanted to be able to bott my retail games.

I ran this on my jtag formatted 500gb harddrive and it worked to fix Partition 2. However, it did not fix the problem I have of not being able to see Partition 3 in xplorer360 or Xport360. So I do not think it accomplishes what the other tutorial is supposed to.

Please, make the program to  format all partitions. Then it would be really usefull.

BTW what is the function of the different partitions 0-3?

The only question this leaves is: "why use xport (corrupts stuff) or a hex edited xplorer, both of which use essentially hacked/reversed implementations of fatx drivers - when one can just use FTP and the native operating system that has the real native volume drivers?"

Go to the system tab, select memory devices, pick the drive you want to format, press the button that brings up properties, select format - this does all partitions except the compat partition.

Just to clarify, since it's not totally clear, is it safe to run this on a hard disk you're already using? I.e. will it do any damage to anything else on the disk, do I need to backup first?

Also, does the xbox's normal format option clear this partition, because I did a format on my original drive so I'm wondering if that would have removed the contents of this partition (and so do I need to go hunting elsewhere for these files).

I would also like to know this because I am not sure what my partition 2 looks like right now. Is there any way to see what partition 2 looks like from xexMenu?

never mind;  I figured it out.

So much of the information out there is outdated - it is hard to sort through the chaff to find the kernels.

Since I have the latest Dashlaunch, and FSD, all I had to do was load the original, copy to my usb drive, and make sure my paths were correct.

hi all.....long time ago since read this thread, but noone answered it back when it was originally asked.

Can anyone confirm if this also creates a partition 0?  As I'm sure if you use a nonofficial HDD then you have no cache partition 0 so could encounter other problems?
