Hey how's it going. Have had my xbox modded for a long time now. To make a long story short, somebody in my house decided to use my xbox 120 GB HDD to see if it would work on there half @ss attempted softmodded xbox. Needless to say my HDD bit the dust. The person graciously offered to replace my HDD with a 300 GB HDD which is where the problem comes in. I used Slayers 2.5 to format and reinstall the HDD, but it's only using 137 GB of the 300. So I'm guessing that the bios I have doesn't support 300 GB and was wondering if there is a bios already included with the Slayers 2.5 auto installer that I can use, if not, what bios can I use and how can I get it on my xbox being that I no longer have the usb cable to connect to the chip?
mt80,
Well, first off we need a little more information about your box, i.e. what mod-chip do you currently have installed, what version is your box, hdd specs, 300 gig hdd dosnt really give us any clue as to what drive you are currently using... If you are using, the make and model would be nice..
Furthermore, your current Bios should support it, if not try upgrading the BIOS. Flash ur chip with the latest version and that should fix ur problem. fyi, you can install just about any size drive on a softmod. I currently have a 300 gig westren digital in one of my softmods.
Good Luck!

I need to update to X-chip Bios v 1.3, but I'm not able to flash it using Xcontrol, I can't get that 'X' in the top left hand corner to turn green. Is there any other way I can flash an X-Chip? My xbox is a v 1.1 and the bios I currently have is Bios v 1.0 The HDD is a maxtor 7200 rpm EIDE

This should do the trick if you have selected to to use the "F: & C:" partition setup when installing "Evox".

In order to get your (137GB & up) HDD to register its full capabilities. You must enter the Bios setup and go to the "ADVANCE BIOS FEATURES" page. Under the "LBA Mode" ensure that you have, "LBA48 F: Only selected! Under the "Use Partion" feature, ensure that the "Enable" is selected.

Having a similar issue with a 300gb. I can get past the 137 barrier, but when the space is down to 14GB free (276GB) full, it doesn't copy anything, and tons of things start disappearing IE, Emulators, games, etc. I've searched and couldn't find a topic in regards to this. Anyone know of anything I can do. No chip, it is softmodded with the Evox_4983_06 on ANY 2001 early 2004 models.

300GB HD. softmod. F: but no G:. Once F: is almost full... (14GB left sounds about right).. everything on F: slowly disappeared. Right now.. I've got a 250+GB F: drive that shows no files in the directory... and shows about 1GB free (looks like the file tables were corrupted or written over).
I had this happen once before... I disected the install scripts and ran the format on the F: partition only. That fixed it until recently... when I filled the disk again.
A question for the experts:
I can reformat and get my F: drive back to normal (i.e. when empty; showing all the unallocated space)... but I'm guessing that this will happen again unless I upgrade the BIOS to properly support the drive.
There are lots of BIOS's... some seem to be tied to specific mod chips (but mine's a softmod). Is there a particular rev/type that should be used in my situation?
... Inquiring minds....
