HDShadow Posted February 26, 2020 Report Share Posted February 26, 2020 Doesn't have to be BIOS that is causing your problem with seeing/using the space on your F:\ drive. What main dash? UnleashX, EvoX, XBMC? What size HDD are we talking about? SATA or IDE? Xbox MB version ie. v1.0 - v1.6b? Have you used XBpartitioner v1.3 to view the partitions/ Any ER message against F:\ suggests it might not have been correctly formatted. If using an UnleashX dash is F:\ enabled in the system settings? Could be as simple as that. Just shutdown and restart afterwards. I don't know the Aladdin chip so can't advise on specific size but if the BIOS is wanted to be changed then any of the appropriate Evox M8+ series with 137+ support is all you need unless you're desperate to customise your boot.

Hi thanks for the reply. I can see the F: drive fine, Hexen shows it fine, UnleashX show as 123 (or about) size. Your questions: What main dash? UnleashX What size HDD are we talking about? 320 GB IDE Xbox MB version ie. i think 1.3 (manufactured in 2003) Have you used XBpartitioner v1.3 , yes, funny enough i do not see F: there. However i am using it fine. If using an UnleashX dash is F:\ enabled in the system settings? -> Have to check that option, but it shows F: in the main title screen. "unless you're desperate to customize your boot." Disable DVD detect would be great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDShadow Posted February 26, 2020 Report Share Posted February 26, 2020 You'll have to ask someone else about the BIOS if you want to skip the DVD check. I think the iND-BIOS allow you to do it but don't quote me on that. XBpartitioner v1.3 is not showing any F:\ drive ie. no partition 6 at all under Extended Partitions? Even if UnleashX was set to disable F:\ XBPartitioner v1.3 will still display all available partitions. The F:\ free space on the UnleashX start screen shows what exactly? 123GB? If it is showing 0 then it is probably not enabled. Its under the UnleashX > System > Settings > Storage options. If it is showing either free space or volume of any sort (depends on skin) then it is not that. In which case you could be correct that the BIOS, whatever it is, does support LBA48 and can't see partitions bigger that 137GB. It is not always helpful but do you have the Xbox app: BIOSChecker? If the BIOS is modified it will probably report it as unknown but you might get lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Which BIOS / Kernel version does it currently have flashed to it? which dashboard starts when you power on the console? Update: Okay UnleashX replacement dashboard. HeXEn start's it's own BIOS that supports the larger hard drives than 137GB which after formatting leaves ~123GBs for F with an older BIOS/Kernel version without LBA48 support.

However i am using it fine. F is the first extended partition, number 6 in the list on the main page. When you run XBpartitioner v1.3, do you first get an error message screen stating that LBA48 support is not found in your BIOS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That, of course, should have read "......, does not support LBA48...............". From the sound of it relooc has now fixed the problem with the missing space etc by re-flashing with an iND-BIOS of some sort. A bold move but if it worked then that is all that matters.
