[Cloning-Adding the XBox Game Collection Origins Pack]

HDDGuru's HDD Raw Copy Tool should be able to write the image to a NEW EMPTY  hard drive.  However to do so, the hard drive has to be as large or larger than the image file - in this case a 2TB hard drive is needed. The partitions will be the same size as the original drive the image was made from. 

The image is a sector-by-sector copy of the original hard drive it came from and when restored to another hard drive, you will have only the image's data present.  It does not get added to files already present on your HDD.  It will overwrite your entire HDD.  Use a new EMPTY hard drive - I suggest using a WD Blue 2TB SATA drive, Marvell 88SA8052-based IDE-to-SATA adapter and an 80-wire 40-pin 24" long high-speed IDE cable.

Kaosengineer - A few questions...

firstly, I am softmodded. Does that play a factor?  My partitions  sizes were limited to 927GB. 

is there any tutorial out there outlining how to prepare  or connect the harddrive to your pc?

i already have the HDD raw copy program, the origins HDD image file  and a 3TB HDD. I just can’t figure out how to partition it. 

I also swapped my idee HDD and back up my eprom, and installed the 3TB HDD I’m planning on using.  Do I need to unlock my HDD before formatting?

I really appreciate your help... I really would like the origins set up, and it’d really

mean a lot to me to accomplish it. Thank you for any help you might be able to send me.

From what I remember it will only recognize 2.2TB total. I format my 3TB builds so all of the partitions equal 2.2TB, adding C, E, F and G, I also add 500mb for hidden partitions. so far I have no trouble filling the hard drives with usable content.

 Once a partition has been created, are you able to expand them? Or merge empty partitions? I wish there was a clear guide on how to do it.

I have XBpartitioner installed just afraid to mess with important partitions.

I'm not completely sure how that would work. I just messaged them via facebook for some sort of documentation on how the image is 'cloned'. I will post the response here when and if they respond.

thank you!! I would really appreciate it. I’m amazed that so much work went into creating it and yet, there isn’t much information on the actual cloning process.

Is there a link to the installation process of the Origins game pack that has been going around which is a 1.7TB HDD image?

all I am seeing is  that you need a program to clone the HDD But no other information beyond that. What do I actually do with it? How would I clone it to my Xbox HDD when I have smaller size partitions, does the program just split it? 

The Origins Game pack  I am referring to is the ArcadePunks HDD image file that many people are using.

thanks!

[Properly Partitioning a 3tb Hdd]

Hi everyone,

i recently softmodded my 1.4 original Xbox  and added a 3TB HDD, however I am not sure I have all the space I was supposed to get. I understand Xbox should only recognize about 2.3-2.5TB however I am not seeing all of my space showing up. Furthermore, there’s several smaller partitions. 

Can I expand my existing partitions, what is the best way to get the most space out of my current set up? I could redo the whole process if needed. 

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks !
