What are the maximum size of the HDD in a XBox.
I have a 200GB present, but it's getting full (using XBMC) so I'm considering upgrading to 300-400 GB, is there a problem with that ??
Thx!

well if you have a 200gb. hdd already, then you have it in the big hdd port right? If you are upgrading, then you just make a backup copy of you old hdd and copy to new hdd. But no, there wont be a problem with it as long as you put it in the slot that is made for huge hdd's.

how do you plan on partitioning the drive? either way, i know the xbox has trouble with corruption up around the 250 gb mark in one partition, so if your G partition (or F for that matter) exceeded roughly 250 gb corruption can become a real problem for you.... _________________ Xbox-V1.1-Xenium GOLD OS 2.3.1-X2 5035

you might have some problems having it all on one partition..but then again I haven't done it so I couldn't tell you otherwise...if you start having troubles with it then chances are that is why...just plop in aid and reformat and prepare for a larger hdd and it will set you up with f and g partitions real quick...later. _________________ Xbox V1.6
