Hi All,
I have just upgraded my hard modded xbox to a 500GB HDD, i formatted and setup the HDD using slayers 2.7. Once completed it showed around 490GB on the :F drive, i was wondering does that mean the partitions were formatted correctly? or would i have to format the drive using a tool like XBPartitioner? (32K Clusters?)
Running XBPartioner 1.3 i do get the LBA48 error, is there any other way?
I'm unable to identify my BIOS, i have used BIOS checker (two different versions) and still get BIOS UKNOWN.
The mod chip looks like its solderless and blue (I think), can double check this weekend. When booting the xbox i do get the purple/blue xbox logo and below it says Xecuter2.
I believe my xbox is 1.5 its a limited crystal edition, the Manufacutring date was Feb 2004.
Cheers.

You need to update your bios to get lba48 support.
if it says xecuter on boot likely it is an old version and you could update to evox m8+ or indbios
