Title: Executer 3 With Evo X
Post by: zuberalxbox on October 06, 2006, 09:26:00 AM
BTW: Couple things worth mentioning - When I went to choose reboot to dashboard after uploading the game, the xbox was sitting in the bios screen through evox.  It looks like flash protect is on at the front, so I think I shouldn't worry about any changes done inadvertantly.  (note - newbie to this)

Also normal video cables stopped working for some reason...could be intermittent, but component seemed to work fine.

OK - it seems like if I actually hit the controller about 50 times it moves down one menu item.  I chose reboot to dashboard...the launch dvd/trainers/reboot/power off etc menu comes up....but VERY SLOWLY....you could see it faintly then slowly appear after about two minutes.  It's as if the processing has become very slow.  The menu is even slower in here....20+ hits on the controller for minute changes in the menu.  Still updating every 4 seconds.  Trying to get to the XBMC!!  Well there you have it, all the APPS are gone.  Let's try games....all gone.  At least none of it is listed..they could still be there.  The c: drive shows .3 gig...300 mb left....evo x v+393.

Looks like C and E are the only two drives reporting any data and free space.  D, F, X, Y, Z show nothing in them, but are not reporting free space.  Not showing anything on the xbox direct, or through FTP.  Any ideas as to what happened here?  When you first power up before you start evox, there is a screeen.  If the first screen is the bios screen, I'm not sure why it would be running slowly.  Is the first menu/system bios dependent on some sort of data located on d, f, x, y or z;  (sorry, I am assuming this drive layout is common on xbox's.  After these drives blowing up, I would assume it would only be evox running slowly, and not the system bios/mod itself.  Does the system use a swap file of sorts on one of those drives and it cannot create it?

have you got lager hard drive
did you settup x3config for hard drive
120g and less use ( F get all )
120g and bigger (f gets 137g G gets the rest)

Hey b - It is a 200 gig hard drive.  I'm not exactly how it was setup before...are you saying I should just reformat the drive again?  I'm going to check the drive tomorrow in my PC, then if the data is gone, I may try and run a recovery...at the very lease see if the data is there, and see what the condition is through partition magic.  If the data is gone, I will use your advice as above.  I take it f is for the games....what would g: be used for?  What is a typical drive setup?  I seemed to have c, d, e, f, x, y, z.  What would I have to put in the evox config to use your settings?

Thanks

B - I found that the LBA 48 Mode is set to F gets all, no g, even though my drive is larger than 160.  Seeing as I have the weird drive setups, should I just leave it be?  Or should I try changing it to f drive, g gets rest?  Any ramifications?  Thanks again!

I have speed!   I checked out the .ini file and found this:


       Section "Games"
      {
         AutoAddItem "e:\games\"
         AutoAddItem "f:\games\"
         AutoAddItem "g:\games\"

Since G was there, I went and changed LBA to the f: up to 137, g: gets the rest.  I now have normal system speed.  (I think due to reimplementation of x, y, z cache) However, all the games and apps are still gone!  THANK YOU SO MUCH BOOB!

Is it possibly true that (who knows how the setting even got changed) if you change that one little setting from f: up to 137, g: gets the rest to f: drive gets all, g gets nothing that you will lose all of your data?

Is there a way for me to recover it?  None of it is viewable via ftp or qwix.

You do not need that setup. Stay with one big f drive. Corruption will occur only over 256gb partitions, which is impossible for you to have. Why are you using qwix to transfer isos? Just use dvd2xbox and back up your games.

You could change the settings to F and G, but you will lose most of the data on your drive - basically starting over. You should reformat if you change the partition setup.

If you can, use the built in FTP functionality of your X3 chip and FTP in when in the X3 bios screens - delete the last game you installed (in F takes all mode) and see if that helps.

If it doesn't, you can still leave it in F takes all and reformat with the X3 bios. Be wary of the drive possibly failing though.

As for accessing from the PC, you need to use XBHDM, or possibly Xplorer360.
