Aaaarghhh, Pezzar how do i use XB Partitioner to re format my xbox HDD?
I hear you ask. Relax and calm down its easy when the tutmeister shows you how
Welcome to daddy's tut time
Damn, the first you gotta do boy is take out your Western Digital 8GB lump of poo and use it as a door stop, that way you can grab a cold beer from the fridge without interference
Fit your HDD and partition using your favourite auto installer (AID of course ). Once this is done boot the installer and from the advanced options on the menu launch XB Partitioner and you see the following screen
In the top right hand corner you see "Format 16K clusters", when first starting XBPartitioner it will read "Write table & format". First scroll up/down to select your partition you want to re format, remember partition 6 is F drive and partition 7 is G drive. As you can see from the shot above i have selected partition 7. Push the white button on the controller until the format 16k clusters option appears. Now toggle the 16K to 32K using the "Y" button as shown below.
Great, now push the start button and you see
Answer Y and the partition will be formatted with 32K clusters and no more partition corruption.
That's it, no secret death moves or tricks and def no spoon feeding either it really is too simple for that

You should make this into a tut man, could be handy to have in the section.

Sometimes with big partions it makes the data corrupt. _________________

When ever a partition gose over 250gb it gets unstable makeing data currupt and just go to crap, the 32k cluster keeps it nice and stable.
If your C,E,F,orG dont get over 250gb you wont need to do the 32k but its good to use it just incase when your getting near 250gb.
