Title: bigger hd ?
Post by: elkie on September 04, 2007, 03:57:19 PM
Just got finished doing the hotswap on my xbox,   after that i realized that i had a 160 g wd hard drive that i bought about a yr ago and never took out of the darn box.

  anyways went through the steps to make it the harddrive everything went fine(after i figured out how to get the eeprom.bin file..and also the cfg file on the boot cd).  anyways once i boot up the new hd, everything works fine but something that jumped out at me was the space available, and i wonder if i did something wrong, or messed up a step.

on my E drive i have 3.89 g available.....
on my F drive i have 143 G available.

I wanted the bigger hd for games, but it seems the games are stored on the E drive and not the f drive...am i correct on this statement, can you put games on the F drive and run from there,  if not how do i allocate more space for the C drive,  and not as much for the C drive..

Thanks

i assume you use DVD2Xbox if you dont, get it from the files section
the default is the F drive i beleive if not you can always change it, cause youre prompted
if you have problems with DVD2Xbox7.8 try 7.7
thats about it, see you im going to MAINE!!!!!!! awesome saucem

yeah no problem i was warned not to use the UnleashX game copy from the start to  ;) keep up with XBMC and DVD2Xbox they are good, XBMC is a Dash like unleashx read up by searching the forums on how to install it or just use it

good looking out

a simple search reveals this tutorial follow it to the letter and youll be alright

http://www.smdepot.net/forum/index.php?topic=85.0 (http://www.smdepot.net/forum/index.php?topic=85.0)

when it mentions copy C to C \ E to E
use the files from zzk all-in-one hotswap
your eeprom should be located on your current xbox drive under E:\backups\eeprom\eeprom.bin

so now thats everything, you shouldnt have anymore problems, just follow the tut CLOSELY!! ive done this myself, it works

im going to try and make this simple for you

On your computer, forget ANY HARDWARE ANYTHING, take your EEPROM.bin from E:\backups\eeprom\eeprom.bin on your xbox, put it in     xboxhdm\
take the files from zzks all in one, the C folder goes to    xboxhdm\linux\C
the e folder goes to    xboxhdm\linux\E
double click on make-iso.exe in   xboxhdm\make-iso-win
burn the created iso to a disc, put disc in a WORKING DRIVE, turn off computer
put your desired harddrive on  IDE channel 0   master
turn on computer and boot to cd

When xboxhdm boots up choose option "1"
Type "xboxhd" for a menu of tools to help you build your harddrive and more.
type the number of "Build a new harddrive from scratch"
Type "8" to quit once it's finished
Type "reboot" to reboot

When xboxhdm boots up choose option "3"
Now type "Lockhd -a"

put drive back in xbox, your done thats it, i just went through this and it works

this method works, the ones people gave you before works, if you cant get this to work mess around search the forums, we are here to help, but i wont baby step you any further, hundreds of people have gotten this and all the other methods to work, youre the execption

specefic enough? please other members that se this tell me if this has worked for you, or if its just me, thanx

if you relock the harddrive like youre supposed to do
(
When xboxhdm boots up choose option "3"
Now type "Lockhd -a"
)
with no error message, and with the eeprom from your xbox, then you shouldnt have a problem
