X3 Unable To See Files On Harddrive

Stick with X3.3294, and use X3 Config Live to configure it to read the partition table from the disk.

i find that the executer 2 bios dosent like to see files when the ind or m8 bios will.
Given you have multiple banks on a x3 chip. try flashing 1 of them with the ind or m8 bios.

No, don't do that. smile.gif

X2.4xxx BIOSes don't read on-disk partition tables, that's why you had the problem. X2.5xxx and X3.3.xxx BIOSes are fine.

With an X3 chip you should ALWAYS stick with X3.3294.

X3.3294 has an inbuilt console, X3 Config Live, to allow you to do loads of things:

- customise every aspect of the BIOS (no more reflashing or editing of config files)
- FTP to the Xbox to load a dash without needing a boot disk
- build a new hard drive (F/G up to 256GB only i.e. 16kB clusters, but it gets the drive booting nomatter how big it is)
- flash, manage and name all BIOS banks
- eeprom backup and restore
- network and video settings, including region setting
- disk lock and unlock
- video mode enable (480p etc.)
- fan speed adjustment
etc., etc.
