    pretty sure you have the m8 bios....the only way to fix it would be to get a hold of the bios on your pc, and use evtool to edit the bios...there is a option where you can enable the g partition...once you have edited the bios, save it, then reflash your chip.

    Ok Thanks, Downloading it at the moment, when i've edited it and enabled the g: partition do i transfer it to the xbox or create a evox boot disk? i see an option in the evox.ini to flash your bios, but its not displayed on the evox menu? do i have to alter the evox.ini to display it?
    Thanks

    ev tool won't load the m8 bios you need m8 PLUS and if u have a v1.6 xbox use M8 PLUS 16 not just m8 plus.

    when u get M8 PlUS open ev tool and hit the open button then select the M8 PLUS.bin file and hit open after that it should enable all the options. after u got everythin how u like hit click save as and save it.

    M8_16_LBA48_IGR_C-06 or M8_16_LBA48_IGR_Q-06 thats right?
