Thanx for your reply. I managed to fix the problem, it wasn't incorrect formatting or anything I did wrong. The Xenium chip OS was only v1.0. The bios also didn't support LBA48. It seems that the...

Ok, I installed a 320Gb hdd in my chipped xbox. I used Hexen to set it all up. Worked fine, but drive f was only reading as 250Gb. I used xb partioner, still the same. So I used Slayer's disc to...
Itried a cd for Slayer's, loaded no prob. I followed instructions to format and install the hdd. All done now. BUT I now have just 123Gb instead of 320! WtF?!!
Yea I used Xb partioner, but I only got options for 250gb, that's when I spotted the prob. Maybe I'll re-do it with Slayer's, only prob there is I've ran outta blank dvds. What's the likelyhood of it...
Well I used Hexen to install a 320Gb hdd, working fine except there's only 250Gb available space. I had assumed the hdd was wiped before I bought it (used). Could the problem be that there is a...
Am I right in thinking that with a modchip, I can just swap in anew hard drive and run either the Hexen or Slayer dvd in the xbox to set up and use the new hdd instead of cloning the old one or using...
So I found and bought a cheap original Xbox in a charity shop, 'modded but not reading discs'. Turns out it was just the usual sticky tray prob, it reads discs fine when they're in the machine. It...
Thanx, guys! I picked up a 3.5" sata for just a couple of quid, it's a Western Digital 320gb.Unfortunately not on the list of proven compatible hdds, but I'll give it a go and see what happens.
Cheers! :)
There's more 2.5" sata hdds than 3.5" hdds going cheap locally, but I'm unsure if one would work in my xbox. Would the adaptor I got to use with a 3.5" sata hdd fit on this, and would it work ok in...
Thanks, tried that already. The hdd shows up as 290Gb instead of 320Gb, and 'unassigned', but option to delete volume and format aren't available. I give up, guess it's fubar.Thanx for all the advice...
It shows up in device manager as 'working properly', but it's not showing up as an available hard drive, so I can't access it to use it or format it. The secondary storage drive I swapped out shows...
Never mind, pc won't let me access the drive even with explorer 360. Gonna have to bin it and buy a new sat hdd after all.(It is a proper microsoft controller I'm using btw).
Couldn't find the original ide cable, but I gave it aother go and this time it booted no problem from original hd. Obviously a temperamental bugger! Anyway, I tried re-cloning onto the sata drive...
It was flashing just red, I triple checked everything was connected snugly but still the same. Maybe the old hard drive doesn't like the new 80 wire ide cable? Makes no sense to me, but I'm...
Yea the stock hdd was definitely set to 'master' when I tried it back in the xbox.There was no error code on screen - when I hit the power button, it didn't even try to boot up, I just immediately...
Nope I was very careful to avoid accidentally unlocking the stock hard drive when I cloned it to the new one in case I had to in the future put it back in. Xbox won't boot up with it connected back...
Yep I've tried to re-partition it, does it thing but when afterwards I still get 'F unavailable' no matter what I do. Maybe a faulty hard drive? Since the xbox won't accept the original stock hard...
Ok so I modded my xbox using SID 5.11, upgraded the hard drive to 320GB sata with Chimp. I FTP'd a bunch of games to drive F. So far so good. But something f'd up while I was adding some more. The...
Ok, so I downloaded some xbox games which unzipped to iso files too big for a standars dvd, and my burner doesn't do dual layer discs. I tried ftp'ing the isos to the xbox, but they don't work. I...
Ok found the settings menu, should it be 'Static IP' and not DCHP?
Ok sorted now. Thanx!
My xbox (softmodded using SID unleash x etc) was working fine , FTP working etc, with original hdd. I used Chimp to clone to 320gb hdd, it seems to be still working as before, except the IP address...
