I just dropped in a 3tb hard drive last night. (I know I'm gaining only 186gigs over a 2tb drive) Anyways; I popped open a box that has an x3 chip with the newest bios. I get aid loaded up and run Xbpartitioner 1.3 Everything is looking good. But for some strange reason after each reboot, the F drive drops to 126gb and the G is 1900gb. I'm trying to format each partition to roughly 1020gb. Anyways after dicking with this for like an hour, pouring over the x3 settings (There is option for retail harddrive / no G / F gets 126 - G gets rest) I figured this was the issue. I swap the 3tb hard drive into a flashed tsop box with evo m8 something (don't remember) and Xbpartitioner 1.3 works awesome. So my question, why can't the x3 do this? I'd much rather use the x3.
In X3 Config Live menu, go to HDD tool section and activate use partition table on disk. Sorry I don't have the exact name of the setting in question but it shouldn't be too hard to figure it out. Right now, your X3 bios is using a partition table hardcoded in the bios (F = 126GB and G takes the rest). You must tell the X3 bios to disregard that hardcoded partition table and use the one on the disk that Xbpartitionner automatically creates.
Thanks I found the option! It was under create new hard disk section. I didn't bother looking in that section because I was doing the format with xbpartionar.
