SS_Dave Posted July 21, 2020 Report Share Posted July 21, 2020 The old XBMC that was on you old F drive that you backed up have a look for the skin folder and copy the contents to the new hard drive. If it was mine I would start again from scratch 1st Do a new install on large drive with Slayers 2nd FTP the xbmc I sent to you to E root 3rd Partition the F and G drives like you did before with xbpartitioner 1.3 4th FTP the x2config.ini file to E root directory. 5th Check you can see F and G drives in XBMC and are both 1tb each. 6th FTP the old skins from the backup you meade before to the E::xbmc skins folder. Now you can start to FTP you stuff back to the Xbox or better yet look for FATXplorer beta version and pull the hard drive from your Xbox and connect to you PC to copy the files to you Xbox hard drive.

sh0rtlife Posted July 21, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2020 the only issue i see with starting over with slayer is that it is very persistent on installing everything to the new 2tb f drive, and no matter what i did i ended up with one issue or another as you saw..either way that was a whole can of worms id rather not repeat unless i end up with issues...for which ive made a hard copy of this thread for possible reference ..of course it could have been me overlooking something in slayer as well..the only benefit i think id see would be the included apps pretty sure i allready have fatx on my primary pc as i needed it for wii modding before i setup this older pc on the work bench for doing this kind of work..and i imagine ftp'ing 1.25 tb would take a rather long time even on a crossover cable...of course this pc was to go into the arcade cabinet but hasnt made its way there yet as i ended up with another better mobo to do the job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS_Dave Posted July 21, 2020 Report Share Posted July 21, 2020 It won't matter where slayers installs to as you will be putting the new and only needed XBMC to E drive and leave C drive alone as it contains the MS dash just in case it ever needed.

SS_Dave Posted July 21, 2020 Report Share Posted July 21, 2020 The FATXplorer for me copies around 300 gigabit in approx 45 minutes.

sh0rtlife Posted July 21, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2020 ahhh gotcha, ill see about doing that then, and while im in there i can pull the slayers "updated" emulation and such off and back it up via ftp before the format Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS_Dave Posted July 21, 2020 Report Share Posted July 21, 2020 Plus it's good practice for the next time you are setting up a new hard drive all though I have a master hard drive setup the way I like it and for new builds I clone in a stand alone HDD cloner Insert the 2 hard drives and hold the red button for about 10 seconds and come back in about 3 1/2 hours for a 2tb drive And no PC needed Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.

sh0rtlife Posted July 21, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2020 "if" i ever do another one thats exactly the route id go as well..my hope is to never need to do it again even if ive got 6 xboxs sitting in a stack...the next thing to do is to mod a 360 which ive never done, but my wife will be laid up most of next month due to surgery so im making sure shes got plenty of gaming she can do with or without me 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sh0rtlife Posted July 22, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2020 if anyones around still.... 2 things,..i think im doing something wrong what exactly should a "game" structure look like on the xbox drive?...ive hunted and got all manner of things for answers and nothing "definitive" i seem to be getting "file to big" errors with some games my assumption is it should be f or g/games/folder "game name/all of the games data and folders and not the iso, zip or other form of sillyness or am i wrong?

SUPER DAVE TO THE RESCUE!..... that screenshot is basicly what ive been hunting the net for..everything covers dvd cloning moving files etc but not once is there mention of file structure and the fact that it needs to be "raw" info and not an iso, clone, compression etc and thus my confusion the xbox "can" be an emulator that runs zips and such ..just not its own games!..ive got a boatload of unpacking to do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS_Dave Posted July 22, 2020 Report Share Posted July 22, 2020 There is some work been done on using ISO files for Xbox have a look here. https://github.com/XboxDev/extract-xiso At this stage I am sticking with what I know.

It can also make xISOs from hdd folders. https://www.reddit.com/r/originalxbox/wiki/qwix?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaosEngineer Posted July 24, 2020 Report Share Posted July 24, 2020 There are two types of ISO files available on the Internet for Xbox games: XISO-format dot iso files and redump archival dot iso files (usually larger than 4GBs). The later cannot be stored on the Xbox's hard drive due to FATX's 4GB maximum file size. You have to extract the XDVDFS portion of these ReDump-style disc images and either upload the extracted file set as is or create an XISO disc image and use the attach app and XISO mounting option of softmods or install the hardmod BIOS patcher to add the same hooks into the kernel to mount the XISO-format iso file.

sh0rtlife Posted July 25, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2020 ill look into the iso thing but im more curious about if it saves space or not right now tho im more concerned with trying to solve the inability to exit a game without the need to reboot the box, this isnt going to fly after my wifes surgery or im going to become a remote control unit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
