Title: My Modded Xbox1 With 750gb Harddisk Keeps Losing Data, Help
Post by: blame canada on March 31, 2007, 04:11:00 PM

Yeup, once the partition reaches a certain amount )500ish gb i thought) data starts corrupting. Start saving your files ASAP before it corrupts more. When you get everything backup up you want, setup an f AND g partition, both formatted with xbpartitioner which format with 32k clusters and should let you fill up both partitions full lol.

xboxpartitioner may just format the f/g, but most likely all partitions. I'd just backup everything possible soon, then format the whole drive, and start-over with a clean formatted hdd.

ok how do yall recommend I split the sizes of f and g with xbpartitioner? From what yall are saying X3 Live's format will not format g drive? if so will it format f when I do the format through x3 live and will it format it properly or I should format both f and g drive in xbpartitioner? I have no qualms starting afresh as I will back everything up

Both F and G need to be formatted with 32kb clusters. This means you need to format both of them with xbpartitioner. You should just split the space evenly. As long as neither is over 512gb you should be okay.

Here are the xbpartitioner steps that have worked for me without corruption on 750 GB hard drives:

NOTE: Backup your files before doing this! This WILL wipe both your 'F' and 'G' drives!

1. Execute xbpartitioner
2. Highlight the 'F' drive (Partition 6) and click down on the RIGHT analog stick to disable that partition
3. Highlight the 'G' drive (Partition 7) and click down on the RIGHT analog stick to disable that partition
4. At this point both the 'F' and 'G' partitions should both be disabled. Now, press the START button and then the Y button to confirm the disabling/deleting of those partitions. Now, click the BACK button (Next to the START button) and press A to quit xbpartitioner.
5. Execute xbpartitioner again
6. Both the 'F' and 'G' drives should still be disabled, so now just highlight the 'F' drive (Partition 6), and press the A button to cycle through the common partitioning setups, and once the 'F' and 'G' drives are equal (same size, they should both be about 360 GB) press the START button and press Y to confirm.
7. Now, both your 'F' and 'G' drives will be formatted with 32k clusters. Once it finishes, just press the BACK button (Next to the START button) and then press A to quit xbpartitioner.

And you're all set! No corruption will occur now, as both drives are below 512 GB, and they are also formatted with 32k clusters. I have tried this method many times, and I have yet to see any corruption.

Nope, the E drive is stuck at ~5gb.
