Make sure you have the latest bios for your chip. That could very easily be the problem. Check the nfo with the bios and make sure it says that it can handle a 100+ Gig harddrive. The earlier bios's were not intended for larger harddrives. |
The limit was 130+ gig not 100+ a 120 gig drive should work with older bios.
Try what someone else said...
Reformat your F drive.
here's your best bet. Try to format your f drive with slayers. If that doesn't work, it would seem that your harddrive might be, I said might be defective because mine works just fine. I use a 250GB Western Digital Harddrive and I'm using Bios X2 4983.67

I have the 4983.06 Bios. :) Well in the dash menu it shows 107gb free capacity but I can't see the F drive in windows. Qwix freezes when transferring... Really pissing me off... :( Is there a way to create F drive in the windows..??? |
if there's nothing currently on your F drive, re-formatting can't hurt, but i'm curious...
if you can't see the F drive in windows (your FTP proggie), where are you trying to put stuff when you say 'Qwix freezes when transferring...' ? what exactly are you trying to xfer? how big is your xfer and where did it come from before it got on your PC? does your transfer possibly contain some files or folders that you created/renamed? maybe some of your files/folders have names that don't conform to FATX limitations...(must be <=42 character long, certain character are illegal, etc) also, what happens when you don't use Qwix? can you put a file on F using the dashboard?
try manually typing in /F/ in your ftp program, see if it goes, it could be a software problem.
Can you transfer files from within the xbox to the F drive? ex, copy something from C to F?
I proably don't know what I'm talking about, but I'm drunk on Jack right now so I'm going to reply anyway? Why dont you try SmartXX BIOS instead of Xecuter 2 BIOS?
Interesting,
I'm running EvoX 5838 (0xacccd2164c38896e005c9af549523262) through Xenium ICE / OS 2.0.1 and I can't read my F drive from in UX 0.36.0620 Build 499 (yet I can read free space). But now I see there's a "Use drive F" option maybe (?) so I'm going to go check that out right now (while there's a commercial)..
haha. damned gf., I NEED TO MOD MOVE!!!11
edit: I also wanted to mention i found this especially sucky because I use a seagate too (200GB) so.. lets stick togetha!
