it works, but I have a 160 gb hardisk and I only see 120 on the F and G disk not available, but let's not waste time, it's only 30 gb, on G .. it does nothing

[Ging3rguy]

Use xbpartitoner 1.3 and use the A button to select the partition sizes until you have 145gb in partition 6 and then press select, do it before you start loading any files onto the partition as you will lose them if you do it later

[archfranck]

 

now I have loaded all 124 gb .. it does not matter much to lose 20 gb ..

[sweetdarkdestiny]

It's not just about losing 20GB. xbpartitoner has a stupid bug, i have learned that the hard way since i was not aware of this bug. When you hit this"Bug limit" just one megabyte can kill all your games on HD if your HD isn't formatet properly.

At the end this bug cost me about 1 week since i had to start 3 times from scatch.

[archfranck]

yes ok but if have the time repair.. tanks.. excuse for my english

[SS_Dave]

Where are you getting a such small hard drive the smallest I see 2nd hand is a 500 gig.

 

Check out this Hard Drive

hello Dave this time I did damage, I got a new xbox v.1.6 with modchip I installed 250 gb hard disk but as usual I only sold 120 gb in partition F. I wanted to flash an encore for v1.6, but it was not specified the size I flashed and in the middle it stopped I think I flashed 512kb instead of 256 and now it doesn't start anymore ... what an idiot I'm too hurry I didn't ask you .. and now he won't leave ... do I have any hope of resurrecting him?

[Ging3rguy]

You need a 2nd mod chip that you can start the flash bios process but hotswap to the non working mod chip and then hit flash. Make sure it is  a 256kb and good for a 1.6. EvoxM8+ 1.6 will do.

[archfranck]

azz ok but possible resolve..ok

 

ok but I don't understand hot swap well. launch the soft for the bios flash setting v1.6 256k, but at the moment of giving ok what should I change, hot swap of what? the hard drive? I do not believe

To fix it I would use a version 1.0-1.4 Xbox  that all ready has a modchip fitted

 

Boot the Xbox with the working chip and load the BIOS flash program the just before you commint to flashing swap the chip without powering down the Xbox then flash it.

It is better to do this in a 1.0 -1 4 because of the D0 in the 1.6 needs to also be swapped on the chip.

but how do I exchange the chip if there are soldered wires?

Yes i have  xbox 1.4 whir chipmod... send you photo..

Edited June 10, 2020 by archfranck

[archfranck]

first photo is1.6 and photo number 2 is v 1.4

but I still haven't understood well do I have to unsolder the wires to remove the chipmod from the 1.6?

[SS_Dave]

You will need to unsolder the wire from the black chip and label them so you can put them back on.

 

The white chip you only need to move the wire that is on the D0 on the chip and solder to ground

 

then boot the Xbox and load the flash program with a evox M8 BIOS for the 1.6 Xbox

Just before you say ok to flash unplug the white chip and plug the black one on.

then say ok to flash

but if I replace the modchip with a new one? the bios is stored in the mother scherdqa or in the modchip?

[archfranck]

 

then dave 1 operation unsolder the 3 wires from the black chip of the 1.6 and label them ok easy, Then I launch Xbox 1.4 with the DVD slayer and leave it on the main menu. Then I detach the white chip and attach the black chip. But I didn't understand which ground point should be soldered with the black chip just mounted on the D0 point of the black chip?

[archfranck]

 

ok Dave I await your answer and tomorrow I calmly proceed to unsolder the black chip ... I miss this experience of the chipmod hotswap ... hopefully good

[archfranck]

 

but anyway if I have not misunderstood the bios is installed in the chipmod .. I have another 6-7 chip mod between aladdin and others .. bad that it goes I already have the 3 wires soldered on the motherboard it is about soldering them to the new aladdin chip. it should also be easy

[SS_Dave]

You need to remove the Black chip from the board and label the wires so you can but them back on.

 

The white chip take the D0 wire from the chip and ground it before you boot the Xbox.

 

Now boot the Xbox with the white chip and the start the BIOS flash program.

 

Now you can unplug the white chip and plug the black one on the board  you do not need to solder any wires to the black chip to flash it.

The modchip with the bad flash cannot load an install disk like hexen that is why you need the 2nd modchip. You turn on your Xbox with the 2nd modchip and the install disk in the dvd drive. You can then navigate to the flash menu but don’t flash the bios until you have swapped the modchips as SS Dave has explained, ideally you would have three hands to achieve this and leave the wires slightly longer to keep the modchips out of way of each other. If you have a piece of cardboard you can place it on the motherboard to stop any shorts.

[SS_Dave]

The BIOS in on the modchip

ok now it's even clearer .. regardless if i can or i will destroy the xbox it doesn't matter .. i appreciate the support and the time you dedicate me above all Dave ... thanks

 

[archfranck]

 

1-then I unsoldered and cataloged the 3 wires from the black chip. 2-now I have to ground the D0 point of the white chip before turning on the Xbox, but the D0 point already has a soldered wire going from the motherboard, what should I do?
