If you run Evo-X on your box you can see how much drive space you have under System Utils -> Harddisk (I think)

This is also a realtime display so if you are FTPing to your XBOX it will show how much space is left and will decrease as files get FTPd This is quite a nice feature methinks.

i know you have to zero the drive which if you know how i beleive is easy enough, but there is a tool that does it for you, have you read the sticky at the top of the board m8, i havent done it myself so cant help, but i know a few people have used the hard drive prepare tool

i found this on some site aswell m8, maybe it might help aswell

First, you will need to backup the files on the HDD currently in your Xbox. To do this, set the appropriate network settings, and simply transfer the C (system files) and E (music and saved games) partitions someone onto your PC HDD.
Now, you will need to hook up the HDD you are planning to put in your Xbox to your PC.
Boot up your PC.
Run Ziki's HDD Preparer 1.3. Note that this program has only been tested to work on 2K/XP/98se and it does not work on NT. Select the appropriate drive. Tick "Zeroing" and "Only 1st 4096 sectors of partitions". Click Prepare. It should finish finish in under a second, depending on how big your drive is.

Shut down your PC.
Take out the HDD.
Set the jumper to cable select if it's there (IBM). If not, try master (Western Digital).
Now, open your Xbox up. Use a hair dryer on all the pads and then use it on the sticker with the barcode and the then the one with the warranty. There are 6 large screws. Use a Torx 20 to unscrew them.
Now that you have unscrewed the case just give it a tug and it should come off.
Now you should see the IDE cable in the HDD and Xbox DVD-ROM and also the power cable for the HDD. Now, take both the IDE and power cable off from the HDD.
On the right side of the Xbox, you will see that there are clips holding the cord of the power cable down. Untangle these.
Now, mount your new HDD on top of the Xbox HDD and plug the power cord and IDE cable into it.
Turn on your Xbox and boot off the Evolution X CD.
Set the appropriate network settings.
Reboot your Xbox.
Now go to hard disk.
Go back to your PC and connect via FTP.
You will need to format all the partitions via raw commands. To send a raw command in FlashFXP, hti Ctrl + R. Copy and paste the following:

Formatpath \Device\Harddisk0\Partition1

In the status window, you should receive a FormatKey. Highlight it to copy it and then type:

Formatdrive key

You will need to do this for every partition. Simply replace the "1" with "2" at the end of the Formatpath command and repeat all the way up to 6. When you are done, your F drive should have blown up.
[1] [2] [3] [4]
Now, re-upload the C and E partitions to your Xbox.

NOTE: If any of the previous steps did not work, make sure you plugged everything in correctly and try all different jumper combinations that are pictured on your drive. If you still can't get it working, start over and try again. If they do not work again, you might have zero the entire drive. This will take approximately the same amount of time it would to format the drive so you may have to leave it overnight.

**balder14** · 14th December 2002

Can somebody tell me the steps to setting up my xbox to pc? I'm running windows xp. I set up a local area connection and connected the xbox via a crossover cable. Then tried using flashfxp and all I get is connection refused or timed out. Not sure if I set it up correctly. I can find tut's for using a hub, but not a crossover. Any help would be appreciated.
