    Hi, i'm BitByter and new to this forum :)

    i've got an xbox 1.6 with an super aladdin live modchip

    it has an evox m8 bios

    i recently added an 160gb harddisk.
    i reinstalled my xbox with the slayers 2.6 autoinstaller.

    it automaticly has formatted the F: (137 gig)

    i noticed, the G: was 0bytes.
    i now restarted slayers 2.6, and tried to format the g: manually (you can format ur harddrives serperately with slayers 2.6)

    everytime i do this, it says formatting, and after half a second it says it's done.

    but, the g: is still 0 bytes.

    now i am wondering, what am i doing wrong ?

    Hello BitByter;

    Was just wondering if you have fix your problem yet. I can help if you need it but it requires quite a bit of typing and I'm feeling a bit lazy so if you still need the help I'll be happy to but if not then it save me a bit of time.

    Will give a quick clue just incase. It seems the Super Aladdin Live does not have the 48bit hdd hack in it. I loaded the new bioses and still had problems. I decided to put an older bios on there (EvoxM7 256k) worked just fine. If i were you I would try some other bios see how that works.

    U will need a programmer unfortunatly or use the Aladdins bios writting funtion (instructions: "http://www.aladdinlive.com/aladdin_live.htm") to perform this. U can find the tutorials around but be warned you might need win98 or ME as I had problems with win xp/ 200 etc. (Took me ages to find that out).

    If you do need a extra help post here I will keep track

    Good Luck
