Problem copying games to HDD

Post by Amigaz »

I have an Axbox v1.6 with a SmartXX V3 chipmod, 500gb IDE HDD and running latest xbmc4xbox.
I have about 50 games in F and G partition, F folder is full so i'm using G partition when I copy games to my Xbox HDD.
The problem I have is that most games copied with dvd2xbox and transfer by FTP just shows up as empty folder even if the game copy was successful.
I'm wondering if my G partition is malfunct somehow?

Just checked the folders from my FTP client on my PC and they are empty there too but the copied games have eaten away on the diskpace on that partition (G:\)

Ok, means I have to back everything up and reformat with the right cluster size?
Which is the best app to do this with?

Installed this harddrive 6-7 years ago and can't remember what I did and not did :D

Thanks
