Perhaps you have the 8gb drive (Western Digital), and not the 10gb drive (Seagate)?

Me too i added the section regarding format etc. into my own ini file it came up with the format option press this click yes, it then just hangs and yes i have a Seagate drive.

That tutorial is one way of doing it.  Easier is just ftp in with Flashfxp and do the following 2 raw commands:

Formatpath \Device\Harddisk0\Partition6

Your message window will show a key returned from that command.  Then do:

Formatdrive key

That's it.  No messing with .ini files.  Takes 30 seconds.

connected with flash fxp, went to raw command typed in: Formatpath \Device\Harddisk0\Partition6 It gave me a key, then I typed:  formatdrive key And 2 GB appeared on drive F, it used to have 0b, now it has 2GB, still I want to combine it with the 5GB on drive E. I have Evolution X 2.2 modchip

                                    This worked for me too, now got all my apps on the f: drive, sweet.

Using Matrix chip flashed with Evox 2.5 ybox etc.

i did format via FlashXP raw command, but I just got the line that saying
200 Drive Formatted..., and  F is still showing 0. Am I supposed to see progress bar or somethin after invoking the formatdrive key command.
What did I do wrong? Bios is Evo 2.4

It worked for me!

Just remember the space between formatpath and \ and then the rest otherwise it won't work.
