I was just wondering if is is possible to install a 250 gig hdd or if the xbox has trouble detecting it.

I'm totally out of my element when it comes to consoles but I would imagine that the 137GB limit is for partitions only rather than total drive sizes? Now whether or not Xboxs support partitions... i dont know jack :P

I havv the x2 4983.67 bios installed with the latest evox build (3935)installed and it still is only recognizing 137 gb hdd. I dont know what im doing wrong but if anyone knows what i can do to get the other 120 gb recognized i would really appreciate it.

I figured it out!! the x2 4983.67 bios requires that you form a g partition and format it but if you use the 4983.06 bios it just uses the f partition as the whole thing instead of just 137 gb and then using the g for the rest. thanks for the help everyone!

also, grab x2 4983.06 if you want one big f partition. f=partition 6, g=partition 7. hence, .06 (f only), .67 (f and g).
