How to use G: drive

[Toopty]

I have a version 1.0 xbox, a 160 gig harddrive, and an x3 chip installed. What can the g drive be used for? I have tried putting games on it, but they dont show up in evox games menu. Is there something I need to modify? Any help will be appreciated, because that 30 gigs are a waste to me right now.

Edit your Evox file. I believe it's XML... or ini, The setup file. Where it has "F:\Games" Add a "G":\Games" in the same format, right below it. Then the Dashboard will list the games.

When I boot up, it says G:\ drive has 0 space. Is this true? What is it there for even? I have a 120 gig drive

it has 0 space if you didnt give it any space.... I believe G is for drives larger then 133 GB... Maybe whatever thing your using, just checks for "c,D,E,F,G, Y,Z, Ect... tells how much space there is, even if there isnt one?

What'd u do Toopty?

modified the evox.ini file.

about halfway through the file you will see a section dedicated to the menu. there will be a sub section for Play Games loaded on HDD. under that you will see:
{
Line "- Games on the Hard Drive -",2
AutoAddItem "E:\GAMES\"
AutoAddItem "E:\HDDLoader\"
AutoAddItem "f:\GAMES\"
AutoAddItem "f:\HDDLoader\"
SortAll
}

change it to this where g:\games is the directory on g for your games


{
Line "- Games on the Hard Drive -",2
AutoAddItem "E:\GAMES\"
AutoAddItem "E:\HDDLoader\"
AutoAddItem "f:\GAMES\"
AutoAddItem "f:\HDDLoader\"
AutoAddItem "g:\GAMES\"
AutoAddItem "g:\HDDLoader\"
SortAll
}

Why do yo even want a G drive, I have a maxtor 7200 RPM 200Gb HD and I formatted it and set in the X3 config live to "F gets all, no G drive" and I showed like 192 Gb on the F drive therefore no need for a G drive

yai dunno i was just curious. no idea why u would do that. perhaps to split up movies/games or something.

 

[burgan]

keep the g drive for temporary backups and movies. keep the f drive for your "permanent" backups. this will minimize fragmenting your HD. not a great idea to constantly copy and delete big files.

G:\ = 0

In X3 config live it say's my 160GB HDD has G:/ @ 22 GB. I installed slayer's EvoX and it say's G:/ has 0 b. What gives?
How do I use the rest of my Harddrive?
Or what can I do to change this?

Thanks!
