Bios X2 4981, Hdd Help Options

[LiquidXed]

here's the deal.. i got x2 4981 flashed to my TSOP, Seems to be fine.. but i started haven problems with my old 300gb maxtor HDD.. for some reason the data would get corrupt of G: after it filled to a certain point, so i thought it was my drive that was messed up, so i went and bought a new HDD.. I got a 500gb this time.. it took some time to fill this one up, but the same thing happened when i filled the drive to a certain point.. i started gettin corrupt data, i think i had about 200GB of data or more on drive G: when it started, maybe about 70GB left free on it..

It only does it on drive G:, all the other drives r fine.. so its got me thinkin it might be the bios.. Should i switch to InD or something?

any help would be great

its not a bios issue, its how the drive is formatted

you have to use xbpartitioner, it uses 32k clusters for partitions over 256gb to avoid corruption

xbp 1.1 or 1.2 (i forget which version its on) will also use 64k clusters on partitions over 512gb

That sounds about right, cause i didnt use xbp to set up my drive, i just used evox to install new drive.
ok.. so which should i use the 32k or the 64k.. and after i use xbp do i still set it up with evox?

I figured it out thanks..i done moved my files back to the 500gb HDD so i just went back to my 320GB HD and em gonna use G: so i dont need to format it with xbp, right? it only show the option to format with 16k, and thats what evox formats with if im correct..?
