dayv25 Posted October 16, 2018 Report Share Posted October 16, 2018 I am using a generic IDE to SATA( I have had it forever- cant find any identifiers) & a WD black 2tb. I am getting super slow boot times & random partition corruptions. I have followed the tutorials as far a using xbpart 1.0 to make a 230mb partition, then 1.1 to make it 927.78 w 64k clusters. I feel that I am doing it all right, but G never shows up & F is never the right size in other apps (eolution x - unleash x - XBMC) Also sometimes C or E will just end up 0mb after a reboot. Just gone. I am also getting super slow boot times & am running Yoshihiro-m8-1.6B-Memory-Fixe-Beta4.bin for a bios flashed into the main bank. Any Ideas?

KaosEngineer Posted October 16, 2018 Report Share Posted October 16, 2018 (edited) Have you tried an 80-wire 40-pin IDE cable instead of the Xbox's stock 40-wire/pin cable? Seems most IDE-to-SATA adapters negotiate a higher transfer rate which exceeds the 33MB/s speed it supports .Use XBPartitioner v1.3, no need to make a small partition then change to a different XBPartitioner version to set the larger partition size. V1.3 supports 64KB clusters for up to 1TB (927.78GB) partitions you'll need to install a 2TB HDD. BIOS Use one of the latest versions released. There are several: Evolution-x M8plus (256KB) X2 5035 (512KB), or X2 4983.67 (256KB) iND-BiOS 5003.67 (256KB), or iND-BiOS Beta Feb-11-05 (256KB) (aka, 5004.67) Which version Xbox? I'm guessing a 1.6 with the BIOS you were using. Use M8plus as it supports v1.6 Xboxes. Edited October 16, 2018 by KaosEngineer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dayv25 Posted October 18, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2018 Thank you for the reply! I am using an 80 pin cable. I also am using Evox M8 plus modded for the memory fix issue with 1.6 boxes. I just got a kingwin IDE to SATA adapter today. I will try that to see if it helps. Next up will be a different bios flash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaosEngineer Posted October 18, 2018 Report Share Posted October 18, 2018 (edited) I think the Yoshihiro BIOS is a fixed M8 for 1.6B, not Evox M8plus. The M8plus release has a v1.0-1.5 and v1.6 compatible dot bin file to flash according to which version console you are modding. I'm not sure what LBA48 configuration Yoshihiro's M8 BIOS supports. F takes the rest F up to 137GB and G the rest if present, uses the custom partition table written to the HDD by XBPartitioner v1.3 instead The G drive has to be enabled in UnleashX before it will show up.
