you have to use xbpartitioner, it uses 32k clusters for partitions over 256gb to avoid corruption
xbp 1.1 or 1.2 (i forget which version its on) will also use 64k clusters on partitions over 512gb

so i just went back to my 320GB HD and em gonna use G: so i dont need to format it with xbp, right? it only show the option to format with 16k, and thats what evox formats with if im correct..?
Yes, you only have to use XBPartitioner 1.1 or higher if either of the F/G partitions is larger than 256GB.
And yes, you can leave the TSOP points connected. Just don't leave Evox on your Xbox, so none of your friends / family is ever tempted to "see what this menu option does........"

First of all, 06 BIOSes haven't been limited to 130GB for over 5 years - the LBA48 support in all BIOSes since 2005/2006 means that much larger single F partitions can be addressed.
Second, 06/67 makes no difference if you format the drive with XBPartitioner 1.1, because it writes an on-disk partition table, and the BIOS will use that instead of its fallback hard coded partition information. 06/67 is only needed if you format the disk with Evox or xboxhdm 1.9 or its derivatives.
These two facts mean that you can use either BIOS and configure the disk to suit your needs, so long as you use XBPartitioner 1.1 to do the formatting.
