Native install maintaining Xbox functionality
Posted: Tue Jul 01, 2008 2:16 pm
Hi all,
I am repairing an old Xbox I have at home (case is gone and PSU too, got a Dell SFF case to put it!!) and I'm willing to use it as a home server/download machine.
I'll put a bigger HDD on it and I was thinking if I could partition it to keep the "normal" FATX partitions Xbox requires and dedicate some space for the Linux partitions... Like, with a 120Gb HDD, use 100GB for the FATX and the other space for Linux, and booting via Xromwell.
Is it possible? I only saw howtos on doing it with the whole disk and losing the ability to play games.
Thanks a lot!
Marcos
