Daver80 Posted August 31, 2018 Report Share Posted August 31, 2018 Hi there, I'm having some strange issues formatting SATA HDDs on a 1,6 Xbox with and Aladding xt +2 modchip. I have upgraded to a 1TB SATA drive with the SATA/IDE adaptor and the 80 wire cable. I just did this on a Xbox 1.0 and it worked just fine, but when I try on the 1.6 Xbox even though I try to write the partition at 927.7 GB it never shows up correctly after the reboot, the F drive is only 120GB and after many tries still cannot access the full amount of memory.. Tried a bunch of times, wondered if something was wrong with the drive (it was used but was working perfectly before I upgraded my computer to an SSD) so I went out and bought a brand new 2TB Seagate drive and I'm still having a ton of weirdness. When I try to make both partitions 927.7GB it still shows very strangely after a reboot. It shows (again) that the F drive is only 120GB but is showing the G drive at like over 1700 GBs. To my knowledge the largest size these partitions (with 64KB clusters) can be is 1024GB and anything over that will not work correctly. I kept messing with it and I can't get the two equal sized partitions no matter what. I have tried loading some games on and it seems to work (games load), and the memory seems to display correctly (minus the size of the game copied) after I copy a game. Should I bother worrying about this? The GBs do after all add up to pretty much 2TB... It just seems so strange because I was really pretty sure you can't have partitions over 1TB.. Also since I had no issues before on the 1.0 version I was thinking it could just be the Xbox somehow...? That seems wrong too though... Any clarification or suggestions would be super appreciated, thanks a bunch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironsniper1 Posted September 1, 2018 Report Share Posted September 1, 2018 i had the same issue just need to flash the bios using the latest hexen disc and that will fix your issue, if you plan to keep the 2tb in there flash your chip with the bios for the F and G drive if you only want the 1tb use the bios for just the F drive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaosEngineer Posted September 1, 2018 Report Share Posted September 1, 2018 (edited) Does XBPartitioner v1.3 display an error message that LBA48 support is not found? At the top of XBPartitioner's main screen, what version of LBA48 patch is displayed? Edited September 1, 2018 by KaosEngineer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daver80 Posted September 1, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2018 Nope, no errors at all. Also, to the previous comment - I may try that if nothing else works - but I did reflash the modchip with a new (or new=ish) bios that is for a 1.6 version right after installing it. Thanks for the replies tho:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
