Hi all, just signed up after finding this place, looks fantastic btw.
Anyhoo I own 2 soft modded xbox's, the first one I had softmodded by a guy off of craigslist (I didn't feel I was up to the challenge and might screw it up )
The second I softmodded myself (Yay) after buying one for 15$ so I figured if I screwed it up it would be no big deal.
1st. Question is: The 1st xbox I had modded I am looking at it with Flash FXP and trying to find the EEPROM and was wondering if I am looking @ it correctly, If I am correct it looks like it's in a folder titled Configmagic-Xbox-1.6-Final / Data / There are 4 files in there (Blank V1.0 EEPROM.bin, Blank V1.1 EEPROM.bin, eeprom.bin, and eeprom.cfg.
Are these the files that I need to back up on my PC? I am not familiar with Configmagic whatsoever so I didn't want to screw with it.
The second question I have is: The guy who modded my first xbox loaded a whole lot of apps and emu's on it even being the HD was only the O.E. HD, the xbox I modded doesn't appear to have much room at all on the O.E. HD, Am I missing a utility that formats or structures the stock HD better? I plan on replacing maybe both HD's with bigger units in the future but I don't have the pieces right now, streaming from my PC has worked quite well with XBMC so I wasn't in a rush. Any help would be appreciated.
Thx,
Will.

You want the eeprom.bin from the config magic folder. I would run config magic on your xbox first and make a backup to make sure it actually is backed up.
As for the stock HDD you can get an extra 2 gigs on some of the newer xboxes that came out, but it's not really all that worth it. _________________

Thanks, that worked perfectly, I saved a copy of the eeprom to my pc.

Any tips on what folders I can delete files from? I didn't want to get carried away and maybe delete something needed by accident.
To get the extra 2 gigs Darth mentions you need a Seagate harddrive in your xbox, these are 10Gb in size but only 8Gb of that is partitioned.
Use Auto Installer Deluxe or the UnleashX dashboard to `Format F` - If your lucky and have a Segate drive the extra 2Gb should show up in your dashboard. _________________

Thanks, not sure if this is the right HD but it's model number is: WDC WD80EB 28CGH2
I don't see an "F" drive though only: C,E,H,I,X,Y,Z
Is that normal?
Seems like you are out of luck, thats a Western Digital harddrive you have there.
C,E,X,Y & Z are `normal` ..... I havent got a clue what H & I are, what size are they ? _________________

H, and I do not show up in the file explorer but they do show in Flash FXP, there are a couple small files in H and nothing in I.

H and I are often the letter given to a mem card if its in.
Hmmm ..... Im still non the wiser. (its not a memory card you still have plugged in, is it ?)
Anyway, the safe place to put stuff is on your E:/ partition, you should have roughly 4Gb of space there. _________________

Oops...1 last question before i let you guys go.
Is it OK to delete the exploit files (SID and Mechassualt save) that were loaded onto the HD for the soft mod in the manage gamesaves section?

I would leave them on because if the softmod ever messes up and you can reboot up the softmod installer and get it fixed. _________________
