KaosEngineer Posted December 25, 2020 Report Share Posted December 25, 2020 Formatting/partitioning with XBPartitioner v1.3? How's the console modded: soft or hard mod? Make sure XBPartitioner v1.3 is set to write a partition table to the hard drive when you execute the operation to create the two extended partitions. If hard modded, which modified BIOS are you using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Itsbok when i restart the console the partitions show. But as soon a switch it off and on from the console the partion resets and shows up as F 947gb. Ive got a strange feeling that 2.5inch sata drives wont work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive got a strange feeling that 2.5inch sata drives wont work That's odd as SATA is just an interface, and the 2.5" or 3.5" form factor shouldn't matter. However, I cannot say for sure as I have only used 3.5" drives for my two Xboxes. After all they are more reliable and cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Split and when i restart the partion deletes and becomes 1 drive. I domt have a bios installed. Could that be the problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no way you don't have a BIOS, otherwise the Xbox can't bootup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SS_Dave Posted December 25, 2020 Report Share Posted December 25, 2020 In the X3 config make sure that in the new hard drive setup menu you have the use saved partition set to enabled I also found on some Xbox's it better to reduce the partition size of F and G (6 and 7) by 1gb in XB partioner .

Do install hexen now.from dvd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS_Dave Posted December 26, 2020 Report Share Posted December 26, 2020 Make sure the drive partitions are set correctly then use your install disk to setup the hard drive with a dash board. Have a look at the OG Xbox installer disk This is a ship load better than Hexen. I use the DCHP version as it gets a IP address from your home network system Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finally working bro. Used hexan. Split partitions and then went back 1 like the guide above on youtube. Then went back in and pushed it up 1 and wrote partitions. All working. Thanks so much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
