    Hello!

    Yeps, that's my problem: I've a Xbox with the x3 mod chip and x3 3294 bios and I wanna upgrade my HD with a 300GB-7200rpm Samsung HD300LD that supports locking. I wanna format it but with the bios I can only format it as a 31GB HD. What softwafe could I use to format it?

    P.S.: I might happen that my English is not very good. Excuse me! (I'm from the Basque Country)

    First of all, thank you. But the problem it's solved. I didn't realized of that the HD was locked up to 32GB, so I put it normal and I've formated it without any problem, with the X3 bios. I feel a bit embarrased and quite stupid too! Jaja.

    Thank you again! Eskerrik Asko
