Large Drive Usage Solution

[finkeln]

i´ve really tried to handle this on my own, but i´way to unexperienced.

i have: gentoox home 3.0c, installed on e:
f: gets the rest of the drive up to 300 gb.
How do i get lba48 support?
i´ve read about the changes that need to be made in /fs/partitions/xbox.c
but i dont know any linux commands and therefore it is kind of hard.

How do i change the data in xbox.c and save it, how do i compile the kernel?

forever grateful to the one that take some time and explained it to me like i was an idiot.

when deleting text lines in xbox.c should i leave the line empty or should erase the space?

You should delete the lines that marked with green and change when orange. http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/x ... 11&r2=1.12

but what about the text that i have in my xbox.c version that does not exist in the older xbox.c versions

these lines are at the bottom of my xbox.c
}
} else {
//not an xbox drive
return 0;
delete or keep?

just comment them out by putting // at the start of each line you want the compiler to ignore
