XBPartitioner Version 1.1
Posted by Iriez | June 29 13:06 EST | News Category: Xbox
 
A update to a xbox1 based application to manipulate partitions of xbox harddrives...
Whats New/Fixed:
-Update by Bomb Bloke (see end of document for my moment on the soapbox).
-Cluster size update correction.
-Automatically uses 64k clusters when formatting > 512GB partitions,
128k clusters when formatting > 1TB partitions, and so forth.
(New system does not allow for users to 'toggle' cluster size via Y button).
-Switched display of megabytes to equal 1,048,576 bytes (1024^2).
-Extended partitions are now displayed in gigabytes.

Download: n/a (built with XDK)

Brilliant, couldn't come at a better time. I am retiring my old 750Gig PATA drive from my main PC for two new 1TB SATA drives. It will be good to know I can use it safely.

Last year I lost a load of data on my 400Gig drive because it had the default cluster size... worked fine for ages and then bang... started loosing DIR's and files :-(

Awesome, larger than 1 TB partitions. That means the xbox will be ready to go when the new 2 TB drives come out laugh.gif That's enough to backup like 300 xbox games.

Easily more than that. Thats about what 1Tb will get you...

And 128k clusters!! I wonder if thats enough to affect the performance of the hard drive! Im not sure... Someone who tries this should fill us in.

But will this version work in conjunction with debug bioses found in xbins?

You should still try to use a 67 BIOS with both F and G partitions to reduce the amount per partition

nice.. I'm so happy this is out... I currently have a 500GB HD in my XBOX.... I may have to upgrade again...I just wonder if the person made an option to resize the screen a little... alot of the program gets cut off and its hard to make out what you are doing...

RTFM?

One other problem people have reported re XBPartitioner is that the video display is sometimes stretched to something greater then that of their screen. In these cases you should check that your display settings in the MS Dash match that of your television set's capabilities.

Non of that helps. I'm using a standard 480i NTSC TV. The only video options I have in the MS Dash are Normal, Letterbox, Widescreen. I have it set to normal. The problem is not with my settings, its do to the overscan that all tv's do. Which is why many XBOX Programs allow you to resize the picture to better suit your tv, and every tv does overscan differently. If I was to set the screen size to fit my tv perfectly and then someone else used my settings I'm sure they would have problems with the image being cut off or end up with black boarders.

Actually you do not need to do that. I have done a ton of 500s and a few 750s with no trouble at all. All on G partition. There is NO REASON to even mess with the F partition.

The original program would do 1.2 tb anyways. I have used this program so many times, Huge thanks to the guy who wrote it!

Erm, if you have a G partition... that means you ARE using a 67 BIOS dry.gif

Are you guys using adapters or something? I thought 1Tb drives are only SATA?
