You can try formating it again and prepare the drives before installing anything, and its hellblazer not hellraiser LOL It also could be that the dash cant see all the MB's _________________

I did that 3 times formatting it as a retail Hdd and another time as a larger Hdd...nope nothing. How do I make my dash see the space?? Also the FTP doesn't see the space too?? I am going to format it again and prepare them too right now. _________________ The mighty V6 Passat came to chew bubble gum and kick%^* and shes all out of bubble gum!

hmmm wierd, well there is an option that you may want to try is make an xboxhdm disk, just that since you have a chip you wont need the eeprom, you can use that to build the harddrive and see if that works. _________________

Thank god for the hdd being ok. As for the disc...I have a tomp dvd drive and it only reads dvds. I have a tuner burn the aid3 disc and it worked fine setting up my chip and retail hdd? Also I have the newset and latest bios too so..I am lost at this point. What could I be doing wrong??
Also thank you for taking the time to help me too _________________ The mighty V6 Passat came to chew bubble gum and kick%^* and shes all out of bubble gum!

Just a strange thought.. have you tried using fdisk to kill the partitions on the drive and starting again totally from scratch with a clean drive? Then what I do with drives over 100GB is to just put evox on C:\ and go to the settings and ensure that F:\ is enabled...then format it, and the same with G:\ if you want one.. I had a lot of success with the xwizard installer disk. I found some of the AID 3 iso's were a little strange to say the least, and I lost my confidence with them and went back to slayers 2.6 for the basic format and install..

you know evox is out dated now and its usability sucks lol and guess what slayers is out dated too. _________________

ok so you have unleash x ? and you go to file manager and highlight F and click start it should bring a drop downlist look for formate . it should take a sec . then do the same with G
did you try formating F and G with aid 3? what option did you choose retail , large or largest? _________________ Xbox 360 Premium edition

Just curious...
What size is it telling you the partitions are? The display shows only in MB. My F: drive is empty and UnleashX displays:
155,058.14 MB free
Which is about 155 GB.

LOL yeah that could be misinterperted that way to, people thinking that it will show GB instead of MB. _________________
