or u could use xbtool to mod ur bios enabling the extra partition or larger partition support, ( above 137gb, and LBA limitations are up to 137gb and not 160gb)

4980.67 to go, easiest coz it's already there or u could obtain other bioses newer ones of course and customise it urself

Slayers' disk would do it i think, it's a bios thingy not any software etc. Also depending on ur modchip whether it's upgradable or not, assuming u are here meaning u have the xenium so go for it

thanks guys but i got it working with 498106 and it is recognizing the whole entire HDD.  It is working perfectly and all the upgrades has been done to the xenium os to 1.1 and i like it cause i have not encounter any problem.

Why not cause i am using my evox from my other xbox and all the files i have on the other xbox i transfer them to these new one.
so now my break down is like this
1 xbox with chameleon with 160GB
4 xbox with xenium and each with 250 GB
awesome aint it that they all work and got my chip from xbox-wired they work only the flashing took time i have to open up my other xbox and swap the dvd drive so i can flash the xeniums because they all came with thompson drive.

you are making no sense.. m7 does, or can be patched to, support lba48, and the x2 IGR always returns to the dashboard just fine for me (unless a game is in the drive, obviously).
