Where Do I Find Working Links To C and E Drives To Rebuild Xbox Hard Drive

Okay so this morning I got HDM 1.9 working on an old PC - I need to backup and transfer my eeprom later - I notice when I look in the HDM folder right now that the C and E folders are empty - is that normal?  Remember this is before I turn it into an ISO - Do these folders fill up with contents once the program is running and the hard drive is attached to the PC?  Prob a stupid question but it's so long since I used this method that I can't remember.  Thanks

No, you have to add the content you want to be copied to the Xbox HDD.  For example, the 5960 MS dashboard files into the hdm\C folder.  With E left empty, XboxHDM will create empty E:\UDATA and E:\TDATA folders on the hard drive. But, it you have game saves and/or apps you want to be preloaded add them into hdm\E. 

The amount of content that can be added in total to the C and E folders of XboxHDM is limited to 528MBs.

Thanks - do you know where I could download the C folder files?  Could I transfer the C drive contents over FTP - I'm happy  to do this but I'd prefer a fresh start as I'm sure I'd probably be copying over things I don't need from my current xbox drive.

Hi - thanks a million for the advice I got the clean C and E files - I'm off to prepare the HDM disk now - thanks again!

Okay so I used HDM V 1.9 and now have a 40GB hard drive that works in my xbox - since I did a clean install - it appears to be a stock drive and the extra space doesn't appear.

 

I'm going to use Rocky 5 softmod - will the extra space show up then or do I need to do something else to get full access to the new hard drive?  Thanks

Yes, nothing else to do.

Until the console is modded and a replacement dashboard is installed, the MS dashboard will look no different.  It does not use the additional space. Has not access to it.

The replacement dashboard installed by Rocky5's Xbox SoftmoddingTool - UnleashX - will be able to access the additional storage space.

Finally, a working link to some clean hard drive files. Thank you very much.
