XBMC-Xbox media center. No I don't have an autoinstaller disk. If a different dashboard would help though I could always swap.

I see. Go ahead to download UnleashX dashboard. Extract it. Then do FTP and FTP it to F drive.
On xbox goto file explorer then select F drive and look for default.xbe of UnleashX. Click on it. Unleash dash will load up.
ON unleash dash, goto settings and look for FORMAT. Then select format G drive ONLY. DONE.

I recently upgraded my softmodded xbox with a 120GB drive. I was getting the impression that I couldnt use any larger drive or it would cut the remaining space off at 137GB. But then I read a little more about flashing the BIOS and/or to enable a G: drive. Im using Auto Installer Deluxe 4.01 to prepare the drive. So can I use AID to make a G: on say a 500GB drive, and I would have a 137GB F:, and a 363GB G:? All without flashing the box?

Forget the BIOS, that's old skool and nobody touches it anymore, its dangerous.
The Xbox will cut of the F:\ at 137GB. However, using UnleashX, you can format a G:\ and get the remaining space!
There is no size restriction.
Click on my tutorials to find out how to upgrade the drive and also how to enable the added space.

Do I have to continue to use unleashx after I create the G:? Or can I just prepare it, and then use XBMC. As of now, im using the newest version of xbmc, it has a G: drive listed on the menu screen, I know obviously dont have a G because its only 120, but would it just recognize the extra space in XBMC when I would add a larger drive? Or do I have to use unleashx.
thanks for the reply btw

You only need UnleashX for the formatting tools. After it's formatted you can use any dash you like!

Hi I upgraded my Xbox HD to a 200gb Maxtor HD.
I used config magic for the Eeprom and used xboxhdm_v1.9 to format the drive. Every thing went well, I can boot up the Xbox to UnleashX, I see the F drive with 186MB. The big problem is I can't start a game. From CD or from a copy to hard drive. It starts to load but the screen stays black. Can any one help me?
Thx

Hey guys, I have an xbox that has stopped turning on for whatever reason and inside that xbox is an upgraded hd with lots of stuff on it. I tried buying a new xbox and just put the old hd in it, but that doesn't seem to work. I have a feeling that the eeproms don't match up or something. I was just wondering if anyone knows how to fix this problem. I really don't want to format the hd and lose my stuff. Thanks

You can't use the old hdd on new xbox.
I just wonder if the old is locked or unlocked. If it is unlocked, you need the eeprom of new xbox and use it to lock the old hdd.
If it is locked, you need to unlock it. then do the same as above.

I hope that you still have the old eeprom for the old hdd. Then use xboxhdm to unlock the old hdd. This is the proper way to unlock the old hdd.
When done, use xboxhdm and new xbox eeprom to lock the old hdd. It will work on the new xbox. Your old data still in hdd.

First, unlock it. Then put it into PC as the 2nd hdd. download xplorer360 open it. It will read the old hdd. backup everything to PC.

So heres my deal. I know how to softmod and have done it a few times now and i understand how to upgrade the harddrive through xbhdm right. well i went through the steps, hooked up cleen hd to primary, loaded xbhdm, formated/patitioned it, rebuilt C and E drives first with the copy i had from the original drive, then a second time with a cop from my second softmodded xbox, when that finished i rebooted, chose optiion 3, locked the hd with my eeprom backup file, rebooted, checked it was in fact locked with atapwd and then shutdown, threw it in my xbox, pluged it all in, and after a bit of dorkin with my dvd power cable (dunno whats up with it, it has to be in PERFECT. conciquence of taking your xbox apart 100 times maybe?) got it to boot w/o the error 12 and when the splash screen finishes and it goes to the xbox logo it just stays and doesnt get to the part where it pops the little microsoft at the bottom and then loads up. then after sittin a bit i get an error 16, which from llamma's site says its a specific dash error so thats why i tried the copy from my other box because its working as i speak, running XBMC. So i am at the mercy of the xbox fixing gods as what to do with this problem, i really hope its just some stupid thing i forgot cause i really want this to work... cpntact me any way you want, its all on the profile.
