F Drive Will Not Format

[Devia Eleven]

I just finished modding an Xbox using the Splinter Cell Exploit, and it has 4 GB on the E Drive and it says that the F Drive isn't formatted. I put in the Format Menu into the Config.xml file, this is the way it looks.

When I tell it to Format the F Drive, I press OK, then nothing happens.

1: Only 10GB+ drives can have an F partition. The stock 8GB can't, but the Seagate 10 can. Make sure of what drive you have in there if you didn't replace it.

 

2: UnleashX has NEVER worked for doing this for me, EVER. Use something else. (Google or check Xbox-Scene.com)

What other dashboard should I really be considering, other than evox, avalaunch, and XBMC there isn't much else to choose from. Later on I'm planning on replacing the Harddrive with an 80 GB, which will be a difficult procedure due to the fact that this Xbox was not TSOP Flashed.

Use whatever dash you want. Throw EvoX on there somewhere else and run it, format from there AND do a backup. Then FTP and archive that backup.

 

Re: Backup - Use it to prepare and lock the new HD with XboxHDM. Softmod, TSOP, modchip not required once you have the EEPROM/HDKEY backed up.

How can I run EvoX from my Harddrive?

 

Do I just download the Dashboard and put in into a folder?
