Title: F: Drive Not Formatting
Post by: Dakota17 on March 10, 2004, 03:28:00 AM
So some pencil neck friend of a friend wanted to have his xbox 'chipped' but did not want to upgrade the hdd.
In the 30 or so I have chipped and flashed I have never had to prep a retail HDD.
I used Slayers disk to format the drives but it did not format f:
I thought I saw a post on this recently but I am stuffed if I can find it.
I did not bother to unlock the drive before prepping. Not sure if this is a contributing factor.
Can anyone please shed some light on this issue?
Thanx.

chances are it's an 8 gig WD drive that simply doesn't have a drive f:.

Yeah you cant formatt a retail HD to have an F: Drive...There's not enough space to do this.....It has nothing to do with the xbox being locked or not...

You can format a retail drive to have an F:, as long as it's one of the Seagates. This'll give you 2GB to play with, useful for installing emulators and stuff.
