Tomos Posted April 28, 2019 Report Share Posted April 28, 2019 I have a 500gb sata drive with adaptor and had an issue transferring coinops via flashfxp so I aborted the transfer, deleted what had transferred to the Xbox and noticed that the coinops folder remained along with a couple other files that I can’t delete. I’ve tried deleting them through file explorer on unleash and flashfxp with no avail. I can rename the folder, I even tried to overwrite it but that didn’t work either. Any ideas? Thanks!

Ging3rguy Posted April 28, 2019 Report Share Posted April 28, 2019 I had a similar problem when I formatted a drive and had a couple of folders appear using up a couple of gig. I could not get rid of them until I reformatted the drive. If the files are not taking up any space I wouldn't worry about them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomos Posted April 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2019 Okay, thanks for the heads up! They don’t use any space just was a little strange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaosEngineer Posted April 29, 2019 Report Share Posted April 29, 2019 Run XBPartitioner v1.3 to make sure the extended partition is properly formatted. There should NOT be an ER printed to the left of the partition's size. If there is, it needs to be reformatted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomos Posted April 29, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2019 Okay, I’ll give a look at it using XBPartitoner to see if that is present. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaosEngineer Posted April 29, 2019 Report Share Posted April 29, 2019 A 500GB drive shouldn't cause any problems. If you have only an F drive (partition 6), it should be formatted to use 32KB clusters. Do you have F and G or just F? Various Cluster allocation sizes: 64KB clusters allow for the partition to be up to 1,024 GiBs (1TB) in size. 32Kb clusters allows for the partition to be up to 512 GiBs in size. 16KB clusters allows for a partition to be up to 256 GiBs. When checking for proper formatting, make sure that the version of XBPartitioner is v1.3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomos Posted April 29, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2019 (edited) I just have f. If I need to change the cluster size is that pretty easy to do? I haven’t had a chance to check it out yet but once I do I’ll get back to ya. Thanks again! Edited April 29, 2019 by Tomos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ging3rguy Posted April 29, 2019 Report Share Posted April 29, 2019 You will lose any data if you need to reformat the partition so make sure you have anything you need backed up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaosEngineer Posted April 29, 2019 Report Share Posted April 29, 2019 There is no simple change of the cluster size allocation. There is no tool to redo the cluster allocation without destroying the data already present. You have to reformat the partition and as @Ging3rguy says all data on it will be lost. You can format an individual extended partition without affecting the stock Xbox partitions. If you resize partition 6 and have a partition 7 then it too will have to be reformatted and all data lost on 7 too (Drive G) but such a change doesn't apply to @Tomos. Back up the F drive first by downloading what you need with FTP to your PC, reformat the extended partition(s), then upload the files to the Xbox again.

Tomos Posted April 29, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2019 Thanks again for the help, loaded up xbpartitioner 1.3 it showed the right cluster amount, 32 kB, I reformatted the drive and all is well now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
