This is what I have done thus far:
1. Installed Enigmah
2. Flashed Evox 2.3 onto Xbox bios.
3. Have Xbox booting to Evox Dashboard.
4. Zeroed a new WD 80gb HD with HD prep tool.
5. Added partitions with HD prep tool.
Ok, now I've installed the drive in the xbox, and can boot to the evox dashboard via CDRW.
This is where the confusion is. Do I just format the F drive? or do I format C, E and F? And in what order?
Help is greatly appreciated, I would hate to have to zero the drive again.
Thanks!

heres how...
boot to dashboard get ip and hookup to flash fxp...
then under commands and Raw commands type in
formatpath \device\harddisk0\partition6
that will give u a 8 character letter like AA345RR2..(that is the key)
with raw command again type in
formatdrive AA345RR2 (switch ever your key # is)...
and then look a drive f: it should be formated...
also when format f it only thats a couple of seconds...
thats it.. your done

Thanks for the replies. I formatted C, E and F and it worked.
A side note though, is that my C drive was actually device 2 not 1, so:
C = 2
E = 1
F = 6
Interesting.
20 games on the drive and all is well, Thanks again!

| I've got an Enigma chip, and the evolution software and would very much like to upgrade my disk to an 80GB+. As I understand that's not possible with my modchip without flashing the x-box bios. But would it work if I formatted my HD in a X-box with the Evolution-X modchip ? |
Nope
Different Hard disk keys.
Post by: majik655 on August 25, 2002, 05:59:00 PM
with the enigmah chip...
you have to flash xbox bios...
by cutting 2 wires and soldering jumpers...
and could even put in switches for selecting enigmah chip or evo bios (correct?)
Next question... once evo bios has been flashed OVER xbox bios...can it be REflashed BACK to XBOX original bios?
Then... hehe is there anyone that has backed up the xbox bios so that this can be done.. or can I do it with just the tools released?
Would like to be able to put things back if need be.
otherwise get a chip with the evo bios on it and put in switches right?
ANY info will help. THANKS!

Yes, there is!
There's a new tutorial on this thread at XBoxHacker.net forum made by opcode:

| Ok I've successfully upgraded my xbox HD without doing that xbox swap trick, follow these instructions carefully: ******************************************************************************** * HowTo upgrade your xbox hard drive using evolutionx by opcode. ******************************************************************************** 1. Boot evolutionx with your OLD hard drive still in the xbox. FTP to your xbox copy your C:\ and E:\ partitions to somewhere, you'll need them later. 2. From your PC format the new hard disk to fill it with all zeroes (THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT), you can do this in a variety of ways I used IBM's Drive Fitness Test version 3.01 (here), you can also use linux's dd cmd or use winhex to write all zeroes to the drive. All that is important is the drive is completely 0's. After formatting it look at it with winhex or something to make sure it is all 0's. 3. Write the following hex values at the offsets given to your drive, I recommend using winhex to accomplish this. This will create empty C:\ (system) and E:\ (saves) partitions. If you are using winhex paste the hex values as 'ASCII Hex' if it ask you. Start Address HEX Values ==================================== 0x8ca80000 4641545840F0484D2000000001 0xabe80000 4641545850D2154D2000000001 4. Hook the drive up to your xbox and boot off the evolutionx CD/DVD. 5. FTP the C:\ and E:\ contents you saved in step 1 back to your xbox to their perspective partitions. (note if using FlashFXP you should refresh both the C and E directories when you change to them on the xbox, otherwise FlashFXP seems to cache the old directory/file structure from the old drive). 6. Format the F partition using evolutionx by sending 2 raw FTP commands to the xbox (I used FlashFXP for this). The commands are as follows: a. Formatpath \Device\Harddisk0\Partition6 This will give you a key, something like: 200 FormatKey key for '\Device\Harddisk0\PartitionX'. Where key will be a 4 byte value in hex (8 characters) b. FormatDrive key Where key is the key returned from command a. NOTE: To successfully format partition F use must be using the evolutionx bios and have your xbox booted with that bios. 7. Your done! |

3. Issue the following RAW commands from your FTP client for each of our
6 partitions:
1. "Formatpath \Device\Harddisk0\Partition1" (Do 1-6)
You will receive a [key] reply from the Xbox that will appear in your FTP client
2. "Formatdrive [key]" (obviously youd enter the actual key that you received, not [key])
Where it says Formatpath, do I put the driver letter there
EX: Format C: \device\Hardxdisk0\Partition1
Format E: \device\Hardxdisk0\Partition1
Format F: \device\Hardxdisk0\Partition1
ETC....
or
EX: Format C: \device\Hardxdisk0\Partition1
Format E: \device\Hardxdisk0\Partition2
Format F: \device\Hardxdisk0\Partition3
ETC...
or
EX: Formatpath \device\Hardxdisk0\Partition1
Formatpath \device\Hardxdisk0\Partition2
Format path \device\Hardxdisk0\Partition3
ETC...
Sorry, but I got confused on that part. I'm assuming it would be one of the first, b/c how else would it know what driver letter to assign to it.
Thanks
Mike
