I keep hearing that if i use the F drive its possible that my data can become currupt overtime?? Also i hear that if i use the G drive i can avoid this problem?? Whats the difference and what one is better to use ?
if you are using a bios that is .06 it will format it with a g drive if you are using a bios that is .67 it will not format it with any g drive using the g drive allows for more organization and if for some reason that that f drive doesn't work you will still have the g drive to work with. if you use only f drive you have everything on one drive so if it messes up it is gone. the g drive is not used unless the hard drive is bigger than 137 gb
HELP PLS. I am using a 250gb hdd and I noticed that after I transferred my games to my F folder, only half of them are playable and the other half the names don't appear instead I see this weird letterings like scrible or single letters. i keep scrolling down i continue to se the same and can't play those games. From my pc via FXP i can see the folders name (games) and everything from there looks fine. Anybody has any ideas or comment on what is going on? Thnx in advance.
what if i just use the G drive ? dosen't that have the same chance at messing up as the f drive ? so your saying to split it 50/50 ?
hdds over 137gig require the use of an LBA48 supporting bios. You can use either a .06 or .67 bios. .06 uses f and g drive (partition 6(F) gets 137, partition G gets rest). .67 uses f only (partition 6(F) gets rest). You don't have to use G if you don't want. There is no greater chance of a corrupt drive using either setup. Some like to use the G partition so that if BY CHANCE F or G went corrupt, they'll still have a little something to work with and not all info will be lost. I recommend having a friend with whom you can regularly "backup" info (share). If, by chance, there's a corruption, you can restore from your friend. But don't be worried about a partition going bad. It's not as though its all that common.
pls. clarify on this: i thought .06 left you with one huge f (partition 6) while .67 gave you f and g (partition 6 and 7) and not the other way around? so which is correct?
my current setup has only 6 part. F being the largest. the problem i am having with F is that i am only able to play have of my games saved in it. the rest of them shows either just 2 letters or symbols and are not playable. Basically i am trying to remedy this by perhaps doing a bios upgrade.
