ill keep that in mind if i fill this this drive up. i gave up on the AID V4 . i got the ftp to work and i transferred the "C" and "E" drive to the computer . i also transferred the "ADMIN" and "D" folder/ drive. i am not sure what to do at this point. the 120 gig drive is formatted to NTFS and is now recognized by the computer so at least the format worked. i also fixed the :do" connection and it works like a champ.
i am confused on how to get the hard drives swapped out . please help
i read tuts on it but it confused me like " a dear in the headlights
p.s. i have a maxtor 120 gig hard drive . the SN is b406y39h. is this hard drive good for xbox or because of the executer 3ce chip it does not matter ?? i have done what i can and the boot cd will not work with the maxtor attached , but will boot when i have the original 10 gig xbox hard drive installed. Am i doing something wrong or is it the harddrive ??

i at first used the western digital utility to zero the entire drive , and then used windows to format the drive to make it work under "NTFS" .
i then tried to use it with the xbox but with the evox boot cd and the AID 4 it did not work. so i then used the "xboxhdprepa" software to re wipe the drive and try using the AID V4 and the Evox boot cd . Neither way worked , but when i used the original xbox hard drive it would boot the cd.
just wondering why it works with the original and not the 120gig hd.
what can i do to make it work ?? lol .

i have no clue...
if you have an X3 with the 3294+ bios then its should boot the aid 4 and prompt you to format the HD..
i have did it multiple times....
what does it do when you boot with the large HD..
do you get an error message?
or does the dvd not boot at all?

Hi,
was wondering a couple things, hopeu can help out. Thanks for the help so far.
(1)is my hardrive not compatible for xbox??
(2) did i create a bad boot cd ( the Evox boot CD with stock hard drive).
(3) i used a xbox prep utility to zero out entire drive, should i use paragon partion manager to format hard drive??
(4) how do i know or find out if my hard drive is compatible with an xbox??
(5) how can i find a TUT on the AIDv 4.10, not sure if i burned a correct copy for the zeroed hard drive.
(6) how do i know if my hard drive is not compatible.
(7) when i put thw evox boot cd and the 120 gig drive the xbox FRAGs about a second after it turns on and goes to erroe code 9 after thw xbox dash.

1.i think its compatible as long as its and IDE HD its most likely compatible.
2.i dunno never used an evox cd i also use the AID Disc burned onto a dvd..
3.yea try paragon if you need it send me a pm.
4.its compatable and since you have an X3 u have nothing to worry about.
5.i will send you a link to the AID i use you can download it and burn
it :)
6.dont worry about it
7.its doing this because the xbox dont really read Cd's...only dvd's
and since the hd isnt formated correct i think thats a problem aswell..

hello,
i just formatted with the paragon partition manager. i did not choose a drive letter i.e. "D" . i s their a specific way to format the drive? i kept it as one large partitioned drive.
after that i put it in the xbox and tried to boot from the dvd and it frags like before . can you walk me through the steps to properly set up a formatted drive with paragon?? i know i choose ntfs but maybe the other options i choose are causing the problem or the version of the AID not sure yet.

Hello,
i finally got the new drive to work..... i had to use a jumper from the old hard drive. i thought the one it had was the one set to master but it was a molded one that set it to cable select slave.
the link is to the new hard drive bios info page.
now can i ftp the xbmc ?? or do i need to do more??
what programs do you find personally to be the best for copying xbox or any other game system game and movie dvd to the xbox ?? and what do u think are good emulators for game consoles... ie nes super nes ??
new hard drive bios info screen

thank you so much for your help and patience . you have pushed me leaps and bounds to what i have begun to understand in a short time that could have taken ahem....... years :(
P.S. i noticed on the A.I.D. v4.10 installer their were options for emulators and other programs. Does all of the programs needed come on the disk already ? i did not want to try and install anything that might cause a problem since i got this far.

ok i installed to the E drive . not ssure if the right one but it had more than 1 gig unlike the "c" drive which had .49gb
when i boot up the xbox the new dash is not seen nor is the application i installed to the "e" drive.
does the xbox boot off of the "c" drive to show the current dashbard i sent in the pic from post before ??
When i install things for the future , what drive "c,e or F" do i generally install applications to ??
not sure how it works when it comes to the installation of programs

how do you configure the X3 to look for the dashboards and application programs i installed on the "E" drive???
now that i installed the 120 gb harddrive do i need to increase my fan power from 20 percent to something higher ?? if so might you know by how much since the new drive is 12 times the size of the original ??
