    you need to flash your chip with a bios with lba48 enabled.

    if you are using the m8 bios you need to get evtool and edit the bios on your pc...then reflash your chip with the edited bios.

    if you are using a xecuter bios you will need to use xbtool to edit the bios.

    also in this section

    Section "Games"
    {
    AutoAddItem "f:\games\"
    AutoAddItem "e:\games\"
    SortAll
    }
    Section "Apps"
    {
    AutoAddItem "f:\apps\"
    AutoAddItem "e:\apps\"
    SortAll

    Add lines like this to your ini file (AutoAddItem "g:\games\") as well as make sure you have the G drive formated.

    Im sorry for not getting back sooner. Thanks for posting. I had someone else install the drive. Ive never done one myself. I have a basic understanding of mod the xbox. Now he told me that the lba48 is enabled.
    How can I check for myself and to see if Im using the m8 bios. Also how to flash it and where to get evtool. Thanks again for posting.

    all your questions can be answered with a quick search on google

    it is amazing what happens when you type the word "evtool" into google.
