    I have my xbox hard drive connected to my pc through xboxplorer and just wondered what partitions do what? I am looking to put my C drive back to normal with my backed up files that I have on my pc. Is it right that partition 3 is the system files so I place them all in there?

    Well actually, id love to know what each partition does.

    am asking because i filled up my e: drive, and when i started avalaunch it warred me about the low disk space so am guessing e: is used as a swap file. What about x,y,z 2.2 gb lost here. can i get pointed in the right place

    If i make no sense am sorry :) i can clarify

    yeah the E drive also has the TDATA and UDATA folder which are your save folders so if that gets to low u can run out of save space....may i ask what all u have on your E Drive....

    my advice if you have a dvd burner burn the roms to dvd and run them off of that untill you get an HD upgrade....
