Is there a hard drive size limitation with an Xbox with the factory BIOS?
I have not chipped my xbox, but softmodded and upgraded the hard drive. It is a 200GB drive, however when it was installed, my F drive was partitioned as 130 something GB, and the other 70GB are no where to be found.
any ideas??
thanks

thanks for the info kraqh3d,
One thing though. I downloaded and ran XBpartitioner and it shows the 130GB partition (currently my F drive), as well as another ~70GB partition, persumably my G drive. However, XBMC reports the G drive as unavailable. I have run evoX and made sure that the use G Drive option is turned on, however I cannot find a way to access this partition.
any ideas?

Ahhhh got it.
It was a little weird, but heres what i did:
===============================
After enabling and disabling "Use G Partition" in evoX, the drive reported a size in system settings of EvoX, however I could not access it in XBMC still.
With the EvoX dashboard running, I FTPd into my xbox, which did not report a G partition. Oddly enough, if i manually changed the path to the G partition, it gave me access. I then uploaded a file, and viola! it now appears in XBMC.
One last thing. After it showed in XMBC, it still did not report in my FTP client (FlashFXP), so I created a folder called 'G' in the / directory of the xbox. From now on, when I FTP, I can see the G drive, and it works as it should.
Hope this helps anyone else with the same issue.
Thanks again to kraqh3d.
. I dont know why that mount point wouldnt have registered in my FTP session though. This was after a reboot of the xbox as well as disconnecting and reconnecting to the FTP. There must be a normal explanation, but for the hell of it I tried to create that directory, and it worked.
