Can't use G drive

[Achilles3]

I've set up my xbox to use F and G. In X3CL, I choose F gets first 137, G gets rest. I boot to Evox dash, and it says F=129GB, G=0. I use FTP while in Evox and could see the G folder, but I can't FTP games over to it. I tried to make the "Games" folder in G but FlashFXP failed to do so. I switched to UIX dash and I couldn't even see G folder when I FTP into it. I just wanna be able to FTP games over to my G folder. Any way I can fix this issue?

Xbox 1.6
X3 BIOS 3029
HDD Unlocked

well what size is your hard drive?

It's 400GB. It's not the BIOS I'm using am I correct? X3 3029 doesn't require some kind of G-Patch mod does it? I'm pretty sure it doesn't but I just can't figure out what is wrong with it. Anyone else wanna take a stab at this?

And you've already tried to format the G drive -yes?

The space doesn't become available until the partition is formatted (as with any partition).

Thanks Martin for the suggestion, I have asked this question for about a week now and no one seemed to know the answer. You are the the man. I appreciate it greatly.

No problem. Just one question tho -

Before you edited the above post, you wrote :

"Thanks Martin for the suggestion, but how would I go about formatting G? I looked
for it in X3CL and it only showed C, E, and F."

How did you get to format the G drive eventually? Did you get it to appear in X3 CL? How?

This is just so anyone else with the same problem may read this thread to help them too.

Yeah it was simple, all I had to do was rebooted the Xbox and G appeared under Current Hard Drive Setup in Disk Tools, heh.
