i used to have my xbox softmodded, w/a 320g in it. i ran out of the 120g it let me use. so i bought a xecuter 2.6 chip, have it installed and all. in hopes that it'll let me use the rest of the hd.
my old default dashboard was XBMC, i used the shortcut xbe file to do that. now when i flash the bios either nothing loads up, or evolutionx loads and it still dosn't allow me to access the extra 200g.
i know i'm doing something wrong, but i just don't know what. if anyone knows how to fix this, i'd really appreciate it. thanks in advance.

Well you have to reformat the hdd, so xbox will read the whole hdd.
go here to download the autoinstaller disk. then burn the iso to DVD-R. Then use this disk to format and install dashboard. Backup your stuffs to PC first before format the hdd. I have all tutors here too.

You dont have G drive for that bios.
But look at your xbox. it reads the whole hdd already. How do you have more space for G drive?'

the problems is, it's not reading the majority of the HD. i have 0 megs open on the F: and G: so the only drives that are reading correctly are the C: and E: whenever is try making folders or anything on the F: or G: it never shows up in anything.
if there's going to be no G: for this bios, should i alter the bios,and re-flash with the new one making the LBA48 say "partition 6 takes up rest of drive" or will that still cause data corruption after 130G
maybe should i use another bios, like EvolutionX M8? i was told that is compatible with X2 chips.

i finally got it all up and running. i was burning AID to a CD-R the whole time, and was not told that it doesn't work that way. i finally used a DVD-R and all is well.
also i updated my bios to X2 5035. it has a "X2 Live Config" text when booting before the bubble vid, what does that mean?

That is how x2 5032 boots.
Can you help cua1009? I will bring him here. He got X2 chip and AID iso. He said that he flash bios M8 successfully but it wont load the AID disk. He got the christmart light after flash the bios (NO dashboard install yet).
I just wonder if he flashed it right and burned iso right.

redmarker has x2 bios on his x2 modchip. When he boots up the xbox, he see "X2 Live Config".
YOu have M8 bios on X2 chip. When you boot up, which logo do you see under the Big XBOX? Or do you see Evox any where?

things i need to know before i can help more:
1. what chip are you using
2. is it solderless
3. when you set the switch to "bank 2" does it pull up Cromwell Flashbios 303
4. what dvd drive does your xbox have (thompson, samsung, etc)
5. are you using cd-r's
these were the problems i was drinking over for weeks, once i figured everything out, all was good

Try to flash X2 5032 bios with the programmer or CD. Boot up xbox, do you see "X2 Config Live". If yes, you flashed bios successfully.
redmarker has that bios on his chip and it works fine.
So you will have one bank with X2 bios. The other bank is Evox bios.

you have the same type of xbox i do. i use TDK DVD-R's and they always work for me. since the thompson drive understands very few media formats , have verbatim always worked on your drive? i dont think mine does.
if you have AID 3.0 look in the "bios cds" folder and find the file "512k.x2.5035.137" extract the iso, !but do not edit it or else it may corrupt! load that onto a dvd with a 500mb dummy file. put that into your drive, switch to bank 2. on the flashbios screen pick "get bios from cd" and it should load.
hopefully that works, then insert the AID 3.0 DVD and mod from there.
you can also cheat like me, since i hate playing online bc of all the noobs. i softmodded my xbox first then i was able to use the ftp functions w/the mod chip turned off. send the new bios into the C:/bios/ folder and turn the chip back on and load it up in flash bios bank 2. that way i didn't have to worry about what media was compatible and what wasn't (the majority wasn't compatible)

i should've clarified more. when you open the .rar file, there's an iso inside, open the iso and it'll have your bios.bin file and a dummy file the fill up the disk.
you can also use DVD Decrypter to burn the iso, and it should include the dummy file in the space the data takes up. double check that on the menu on the right. it'll say "disk data: ________bytes" it'll probably be around 300mb. i've noticed most of the dummy files sit around that.
just make sure you use the bios i mentioned earlier, it works on mine so it'll also work on yours. I'm not as familiar with the M8 bios' but i think they want to load avalaunch or something odd instead of evox.
