bulkchart32 Posted October 23, 2020 Report Share Posted October 23, 2020 (edited) i found this through reddit. i'm wanting to try it to get a bigger E drive but i'd have to erase the hdd of one of my xbox's and start all over again. so i'd rather not try this if it won't work. can someone tell me what they think about it. i'll be using a 2tb drive.

TeleTubby666 Posted October 23, 2020 Report Share Posted October 23, 2020 Doesn’t it depend on the Bios whether it supports the given File Allocation Table or not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SS_Dave Posted October 23, 2020 Report Share Posted October 23, 2020 I tried it with a 3tb and I could not get more than 2.2tb. When I set the E drive bigger the F or G drive could not be set to the normal maximum size.

When I set E to 50gb and C to 20gb X,Y,Z to 1 gb the best I gould set F to was 649 gb and 1tb for G. so I went backwards I also noticed that XBMC4Gamers makes a Q drive the same size as E drive and that would have to come from somewhere. And I lost F drive from the file explorer.

SS_Dave Posted October 23, 2020 Report Share Posted October 23, 2020 I don't think it worth it. What you gain on 1 drive you lose on another drive.

TeleTubby666 Posted December 2, 2020 Report Share Posted December 2, 2020 I tried it on on X2 5035 Bios and a spare HDD and it seems to work so far. Anything specific I could test to confirm the functionality? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my testing you are just taking space from one drive F or G drive to make a bigger C and or E drive, you don't get any more storage space (A 2tb will give around 1.86tb and the max you get from a 3tb is 2.2tb).

The Q drive is a drive mapped to the path where XBMC or its variants' (XBMC4Gamers, XBMC-Emustation) default.xbe file is stored on the hard drive (e.g., E:\XBMC\default.xbe; making Q:\ equivalent to E:\XBMC). The P drive is a drive mapped to the Profile directory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in my setting I have all my apps, savegames, DLC etc stored on E whereas F is reserved for my games only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
