if you have a new hdd, stock hdd, hdd smaller than 137gig (about 145 gig or so with the rounding errors), then use the .06
if you have an xbox that already has stuff on an f partition but the drive is not bigger than 137 use the .06
if you have an xbox that already has stuff on an f partition and are unlocking new space on a hdd that is 137+ then use the .67
the .67 is for the g partition which is not needed unless you have stuff on the f partition you don't want deleted by unlocking the extra space that was previously not available on non LBA48 compatible bioses.
You can have one fat F partition and this is much more compatible/easy than using an F and a G
If you have a HDD larger than 250GB, it is generally best to use .67 to split the larger partitions up. If you do not, when a single partition nears 256GB of data, some of it may begind to "disappear" because of partition size limitations on FatX.
If you have a >137GB drive, and you have a pre-LBA48 bios, hence you have space that you want to get access to but you dont want to lose your files from your current F drive, then you can use the .67 to have G use your remaining space.
If you are installing a new hard drive then you should use .06 unless you really want a G drive, as with .06 F will include all the remaining space from the drive.
If your drive is <137GB then you wont see any difference between the bioses as with .67 G takes from 137GB upwards.
for those that cant read what was stated above, let me re word it..
if you have used xbtool before and seen how it comes with the option of LBA48 support, you will see these two options available:
Partition 6 take rest of drive
Partition 6 take up to 137GB / Partition 7 takes the rest
This is what is included with the .06 and .67 bios.
.06 = Partition 6 take rest of drive
.67 = Partition 6 take up to 137GB / Partition 7 takes the rest
What this does is give you the option of adding in a Partition 7 (G drive) (with the .67) or just leave F as a really big partition.
ie. If you had a 160GB hd before the LBA hack was released, and had information on the F drive and didnt want to erase it, you would use .67, format partition 7 and have a completely new G drive with the extra 23GB.
or if you were installing a new 160GB hd or didnt care if the F drive was erased, then you would use .06 and format F to have a bit F drive.
I found this in another forum, does this mean that the LBA hack allows f drive to grow past 137 GB???
When I first installed my 160 GB, I knew i had the m7 bios but i didnt know if i had the one with the lba hack or not. But after I ran djb's auto installer, the f drive reads 155.886.370.816, so it obvisioly reading bigger then the 137 gb limit.
It was my understanding that the f drive would stop reading at 137 gb and the rest of the space was lost without the hack.
I donno just hoping that this will slove my problem of my chip not accepting a new flash. thanks for any help guys. _________________ XBOX v1.0:
