I am running a Xenium Ice chip with the Evox M8 Bios and 3935 Dash. I have installed and formated a 250 GB harddrive using Xenium OS's utility. It worked very nicely except that even though it asked me if I wanted to format a G:\ partition (which I did), I still get a zero value for G:\ and F:\ only had 129 GB which of course is what shows up if something doesn't support larger hard drives. I know there is a patch out there for Evox 3935 but when I attempted to run through the patch it didn't seem to do what it was supposed to do. Anyway I think, part of the problem is the Xenium OS and the fact that I don't have to completely replace my original dash with the Evox dash. Ok, now I am getting away from my question, sorry, so here it is. I was wondering if anyone has patched the Evox Dash yet or if a new version has been released? Any help anyone can provide would be appreciated.
Thanks

Is your M8 bios set up to LBA48 using a G drive? If so you can use the evox ftp commands to format the G drive.
Just follow this guide but only do partition 7 (G)

If your M8 bios isnt LBA48 enabled you need to patch it with evtool I think. Once you have it patched you can flash the bios to your chip and format the full capacity of the xbox.
If you want to have a big F drive instead of a small F and a G you need to patch the bios to use partition 6 for everything then reflash and format F drive again (you will loose the contents of your F drive).
