I know that it is 8GB, but what is its size after you format it? Along with that, what is its size usually after you softmod it?

I have it softmodded with evox dashboard in both C and E (I don't remember how that happened).

The reason why I want to know this is because I don't want to screw up transferring emulators and backups to the HDD. I'm not sure if it is like a PC harddrive which tells you that it won't fit. I'm using FlashFXP and it doesn't say the amount of space remaining.

Thanks for any help!

A completely fresh Xbox HDD will have the following:

C:\ 3.0GB

E:\ 4.5GB

X:\ 250Mb

Y:\ 250Mb

Z:\ ???

My x,y,z, partitions have a size of 798mb each. Those are the partitions the xbox downloads and loads game data. If the partitions are any smaller, wouldn't it affect loading times since it would need to clear those partitions when it got full in order to introduce more data when the game required it for example halo 2.

It varies, it was just an example! The Xbox doesn't like you putting stuff there anyway!

Thanks for the information. I now have an idea of what I can put on it. It sucks that E doesn't have more...

Just change the HDD, it uses PC drives. Click on my tutorials to find out how!

Yeah, I noticed it, but it seems so complicated and I don't want to screw up my xbox. The stuff I used to softmod it is back with my friend.

As for buying an already prepped HDD, the price is a bit too steep for me.

You can put in a new HDD if you wanted to though.

I guess that's not bad for a hard drive size.

But still, Xbox games are pretty huge. You can only have a few games in 80 GB, with each game being a few gigabytes.
