Help with new HDD install!!!!!

[pcolamedtech]

Is there any way to install a new HDD with the X3?? without needing any installer disk , I just wanna drop it in and use x3 to format it and install it, then transfermy files ftp. I have a version 1.0 xbox with an X3 and x3 1995 bios and im trying to install a WD 160GB hdd. when I put the new HDD in and booted up, it wont boot to my x3 bios, it goes to the xbox error screen? someone help!!

Assuming you have an X3 bios on the chip, the X3 can format the drive and allow you to FTP straight to it, with no install disk required.

well, now its booting to the x3, but when I ftp, it shows all my partitions
c,d,e,f,g,y.ect, but when I transfer files to my c drive, they dont show up

what app are you using to FTP?

I got it to work, for some reason, when I used the upgrade to new drive in the x3 bios, it created the 6 or 7 partitions, but didnt format them, so I had to go in and format them with x3 and it started showing how much space was avail. and I hear prople talking about how they only got 120 out of a 160, I got 156, so it wasnt that bad, I gotta stop, I have got almost 900$ in this damn xbox, and it mostly for my 11 yr old boy, I rather play pc games, but I love to mod the box though. These forums are great, by the way how can I upgrade my status from newbie, Im still a little new, but not a total green horn

your status comes from your post count. When setting the partition option, make sure you just use 6, not 6 + 7. Then format the drive, and you'll get all the available extra space on your F drive.

you do know you have to format the new hdd before you can ftp the files to it right?
cause it sounds like you havn't

Is this correct CRC?

Under checking SS on Abgx

It says, SS Version: 1
and give me the ID

When i goto the ABGX site under verified it says that the ID I have is SS v2?

???

Re: Is this correct CRC?

SSv2 was most likely the verified one on abgx360.net and you most likely ripped it as SSv1 thus showing that on your ABGX report
