    Default Lost Data on xbox? question

    Hi,

    after some expert on xbox systems.

    got a modded xbox, installed a 500gig drive using AID 4.10??

    spent yesterday transferring 100gig over to it... and just then it died and upon reboot the data is not viewable via ftp...looks like its still there as the amount of space has been reduced BUT what now?

    anyway to recover it?
    has it gone? just transferred some other stuff and its visible? what's going on?
    anyone seen this before and can offer any suggestions

    look I'd like to recover it if possible....its not crucial just movies (doco's mostly) I dont understand why it was there this morning,
    transfer some other stuff and then gone.


    edit: just had a look at another directory and that shows up nothing, and its been on there for months. WTF!!!!

    the bios needs to support a large f drive only
    or f and g drive
    decide on how you want to setup and use a bios to suit first

    How can you check what cluster size the Xbox Harddisk is formatted to.
    i.e. 16 or 32k once its been done.

    dont think you can once its formated
    you could test by writing a file of only a few kb and see how much you loose
