I have the evox.ini file already fixed at the bottom of this post.   
have fun, and happy modding       

What you need:

1) Modded Xbox with Evox dash (1.8.1812 or later) installed.
2) A 10 GB HD (The one that comes preinstalled in any Xbox).
3) FTP ability and knowhow.
4) About 10 min.

1) Connect your pc to your xbox using your favorite ftp client (eg. FlashFXP).
2) Create a backup copy of your evox.ini file.
3) Create a new evox.ini based on your backup and replace everything under "[Menu]" with :

For EvolutionX version 1.8.2594 till v1.8.3285

Section "Root"
{
Item "MS Dashboard",@3
Item "Reboot",@5
Item "Power Off",@10
Item "Format F:",@210

}

[Action_10]

Info "Format F"
Warning "This will format F"
Progress "Formatting F"
#
# This will format F:\
#
Format f:

For EvolutionX v1.8.3682 or higher (newer)

Section "Root"
{
Item "MS Dashboard",ID_MS_Dash
Item "Reboot",ID_Quick_Reboot
Item "Power Off",ID_Power_Off
Item "Format F:",@210

}

[Action_10]

Info "Format F"
Warning "This will format F"
Progress "Formatting F"
#
# This will format F:\
#
Format f:


4) Save your changes and FTP it back to the Xbox. (or in FlashFXP you could just open it in edit mode)
5) Reboot your Xbox, select "Format F:"
6) Select Yes (warning anything on F:\ will be erased)
7) Wait 1/2 a second
8) FTP your original evox.ini file
9) Reboot.

You should now have more space on your original Xbox HD.

does this work on every xbox? i thought it was only 1 or 1.1

it works on any xbox that you can put evox on 1 - 1.6

Boost - excellent. Thanks... I think i'll try it out.

Boost - you should be a mod. Talk to me. You know your stuff.

I wont blame ya those, making tuts is hard.

hahahaa  Shup

hey I got it from a different site that got it from a different site that got it from the scene prolly??

but hey it worx

here it is

BOOST

this may be a 'dead' topic now, but i was just about to do it and then was told that only SeaGate harddrives have the extra 2gb, the original western digital harddrives were only 8gb.
so not knowing which mine is... can i just try it? can't do any harm right?

I've not tried it yet. I replaced my retail HD. I think our man Boost would be the one to answer this.  He seems to be all about getting more gigs out of the Retail HD. :)

oh yeah
do it
it cant hurt
you might even find gold in them there hills!

good luck

( ALWAYS BACK UP YOUR ORIG FIRST )

MAKE SURE TO PUT YOUR IP IN THE IP SECTION OF THE EVOX.INI!!! IF YOU DO NOT, YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO FTP BACK INTO THE BOX, AND IT WILL BE A MAJOR PAIN TO FIX....Unless you get me to help you!  (Ask Jebus!)

okay i have just done this (thanks to Xodus for mahooosive help) and then realised that if you are using krayzies installer, instead of doing all this you can pop in your exploitable game, load your exploit, go to 'extras' and click 'format f:\'
that coulda saved me some time... o well, its formatted!

you said it X

All hail Boost - the Soft Mod king. I like this topic.... further ways to piss off Microsoft. You know how we do.... lol....

I have the REAL evox.ini for formatting your F drive as the attachment now.
Also thanks to Jebus and Xodus I have the IP for it set to DHCP ( so read the dash for your IP )

I think that about covers it

BOOST

there are much easyer way of doing this

1. use Krayzie UXE installer

2. Use FlashFXP

How to use  FlashFXP to formate F: well very easy really just trun on xbox (with EVOX)

(make sure in Evox setting you have Use F: to Yes )

must have evox as dash or app

then open FlashFXP connect to Xbox
ip: 192.168.x.xxx
user: xbox
Pass: xbox

bla bla bla =)

now go to Commands > Raw commands  Or push ctrl+r

type this in

Formatpath \Device\Harddisk0\Partition6

The FTP app will echo a hard drive key (later referred to as 'the number') (display a long number in a dialog box). Use that key for the next command

now type

FormatDrive 'the number'

All done restart Xbox and have 2 more gigs on F:


(Warning) do not try this if you have a 120g in your xbox this is for STOCK HDD Only

Krayzies is good, i jsut used it and it's simple
good TUT ZZK,
this place is growing everyday

Dude i just screwed my HD.. i had a 120 gig and didn't read the whole thing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! J/k.. that would suck. But we'd all laugh really hard....

It's pretty sad if your trying to scrap an extra 2 gigs out of your 120 gig HD...

some of us are not so furtunate to ahve a large hdd :(

it's not the size, it's how you use it.....

we are talking about harddrives, right?

hahahahaaa


   

Why would you want 2 more gigs if you have a 120 g hdd?

I mean come on thats like barley one game if your lucky... some people are just so greedy!

lol just talkin shitzle.

oh yeah, to all you retail 8 giggers out there,.

get a auto install cd, I like slayers 2.6 - but there is many more out there ( slayers is kinda out dated now... you'll ahve to update XMBC and a few other things.. )

goto the format options
and format F
now you have 2 more gigs
oh by the way when I mod my menus go like this:
C = dashboard and M$ dash
E = gamesaves and Emulators
F= Apps ( XBMC, XBMP, configmagic, xboxftp,.... you get the idea )
so having F is good
you still end up 4.somthing gigs after it's all said and done
if you format it all, do not reboot until you add your dash at least.

well, if you dont know what your doing ask us in chat. http://www.smdepot.net/irc/chat.php

BOOST

oh yeah by the way

SUPER EASY WAY
go find a auto installer
almost all of them have a option to format
choose format F ONLY!

that'll bring up the 2 free gigs

also if you're very bored. use xboxhdm 1.9
it has a option to partition F ( formats it )
but if you dont know xboxhdm... i suggest not useing it. ( well not on your only xbox hdd )

have fun, cuz its fun!

Anyone know why my F drive isn't showing up in the File Manager or FTP?

I have the LATEST version of UnleashX v0.39.02222A installed with the Krayzie Ndure Installer v1.1 + All Extra's.

I have it enabled in the System>Storage Option.

I Currently have these Drives:
C: 348 MB
D: 0MB (CD-Drive)
E: 4,881 MB
I: 7,984 KB
X: 794 MB
Y: 794 MB
Z: 794 MB

some xbox harddrives are 8gig hdds so maybe you have the smaller harddrive
if you really want to know look up the info or open the xxbox and check the size.....

the 8 gig one is something like WD80EB or something
check it out

the seagate is always 10 gigs

good luck
