Post subject: X Y and Z partitions		 Reply with quote
 
My xbox is all softmodded and everything but I'm curious about a few partitions. I have 3 which are X, Y, and Z. Each is pretty much completely empty but have a max storage space of 749 mb each. I haven't put any files on them because no programs seem to acknowledge they exist. I was wondering if there was a way that I could combine them with My F or E drives so I could have a little extra storage space. I've tried using XBPartitioner but I'm not really sure what I'm doing with it and I really don't want to mess anything up.

Anyways if someone could tell me a little about these mystery partitions it would be nice. Even if they are reserved for some sort of system file, it would still be nice to know why I have about 2 gigs of space going to waste. (749x3=2247)

They are hidden game cache drives. The games write to those for storage and caching. (redundant but oh well)

I am pretty sure they are integral and needed.

Oh alright. Thanks for the quick replies. I kept thinking I did something wrong during the softmod and I lost 2 gigs of space.
