Ahh.. So glade to finally join DSL forums.. I really need alot of helping trying to get XDSL installed on the hard drive.. Here's our problem..

The xbox uses fatx which is very simlar to fat32.. Linux cannot run on this nativity so we have 2 choices..

Wipe out a xbox partition or resign it part for linux part for xbox..

Or create a virtual disk IE loopback file..

The problem with wiping out the xbox's partition is that Cand E have to be a certain size with F G can take up the rest of the space. The xbox's hard drive has no MBR and one must be created in order for the new partition to regonize.

The loopback file would be alot easiler i think and better (less chance for damage) But i need help understanding everything..

Here, read this guide.

It covers the basic concepts needed to do this. Try it out if you like.

I would make my loopback device here

/cdrom/fakedrive.img

and then create a mountpoint for it

/mnt/fakedrive

and then follow his instructions. Keep in mind that you will probably need to be using "root" superuser authority to do this (the "sudo su" command will enable this autothity)
