    I just installed my new 300 gig hard drive using aid 3.0 to my xbox with a zenium soderless chip. I have everything installed and everything is working great but I seem to be short on the gigs.

    C: 322.16 MB free
    E: 4,878.38MB Free
    F: 120,277.70 mb FREE
    G: 0 free

    I used aid format G and prepare G and it came up with an error.


    what did I do wrong if anything and what do I do to correct it?
    ty again the ridges for telling me about that great program!!!

    Try reformating it, But leave out G: this time. You want all the extra space not being used for C: and E: to go to your F:

    So if I set it up right, I will be only working off the f drive and nothing else? Will I be using aid 3.0 to do this format? How do I leave G out? I'm a xbox lammer so baby steps are appreciated!!!

    TY

    I have never used AID, i used Slayer 2.6 so i only know how that one works. But yes it should be AID that does the format. And you will be using various folders, but F: is usually where all your apps & games will be put. Some people also use E: for this.
    The way mine is set up it has C: which is the main partition.
    Then i have E: which i think is used for something, although i do no remember what. Then i have F: which has the most space of any partition and is where all my apps, games, dashboards and such were installed.

    hope you can find tutorial on their site.

    Q. Using Softmod Installer Deluxe alongside Auto-Installer Deluxe
    A. Once your Xbox is softmodded, you can proceed to use Auto-Installer Deluxe to customize your Xbox a little more to your own needs. Just a couple of things to remember before you do:

    If you Xbox has a stock standard Hard Drive, you can only use Partition E to store programs on.
    You might not be able to format your hard drive, so you would have to actually delete all the files from a certain partition if you wanted to clear it.
    One of the best features of Softmod Installer Deluxe is that the BIOS included with the installer will search for C:\evoxdash.xbe and E:\evoxdash.xbe, unlike most of the other softmod packages which put their dashboard at C:\Dashboard\default.xbe or E:\Dashboard\default.xbe. The reason I done this was because this is the way that a mochipped Xbox would be set up, and in that sense being more compatible to upgrade to another dashboard, either with Auto-Installer Deluxe or most other Auto-Installer packages available (Slayers, X-Disk etc.)

    If you run into problems or want more detailed instructions go to the link below and ask, they are very experienced modders.
