    As you can expect, it's only reading 130 gigs, how do I get the rest and g drive. I've got a 1.3xbox and chameleon chip with mode 4. I used slayer's auto installer v2.6 to format and install my apps. When I try to load the m8bios 137+ it just freezes. Help me please!

    Just a question... Have you upgraded the firmware on your chip? I run a Xenium, and with the latest firmware, I have the option to run an extended F or have both F and G.

    You may have to reformat from your Chip's menu and not your Slayers. I prefer Firefuckers, anyway.

    As of yet, I have not seen a chip or program that will extend an existing F drive. Have you looked into your chip settings to enable the G partition? How about your Dash settings? Do you remember how to get to your chip's OS? On my Xenium, I just hit eject instead of power.

    I don't remember where I found the F-disk, but it has a lot of disk tools... like your chip should. I think the FF people have changed their address, because my link does not work anymore. Good Hunting, if that is the way you wanna go.

    I got it. I had to go out and buy some dvd r/w's.(was useing +R's that I burn games with) And burned slayer's auto installer and got the m8 bios with 137+ option. Tripped me out though because the red eject light is on with the m8, I thought I bricked my xbox at first. One thing though the reading for the g drive is weird like 6XX.XXX.XXX.XXX. F drive is like 90 gig, e 5 gig and c drive 3xx megs. Any thoughts on that g drive?
    And thanks Djraise, for trying to help me.

    I don't know what the deal was with your DVD. Sounds like a burn issue, or maybe you have the crappy drives and not the Samsung DVD reader in the Xbox.

    I have used Fdisk and Slayers on some booty-A$$ generic DVD-Rs and they work fine. I also used my chip to duplicate my HDD multiple times -- yup, both F AND G. Anyway. It is always easier to start over and reformat, if you don't have a buttload of files on your HDD. Don't forget to backup your eeprom and your important files.

    Also, hit www.evolutionx.info for an xbins tutorial. Can't tell you any more.

    DUH! I am such a tard. I didn't mean F-disk. It is X-disk. http://www.x-disk.de/portal.php
    Check this one out. It comes pretty loaded. All you have to do it update a couple of things like Super Mario War. ;)
