Mine didn't show the partitions at first...I just reformatted through the xbox and it worked the second time though. No need to hexedit the BEVS drive.

I think that's what they all forgot to do, you have to format the drive in the 360 first.

Just real quick, I've been preparing to do this mod for a while. In fact, I was the first to post the directions on the first page but I haven't gotten around to doing it yet.

There are a lot of pages to read so does anyone mind just listing the game saves that don't work after this mod and if there is a solution to it? I saw the list of games that do work, I just wanna know if any of mine won't work.

Yep, i did mention it a page back i think.

Rock Band 2 doesn't work either. Says something about an invalid storage name, so i guess transferring it will work. I have to wait till i can get my hands on a memory card before i can transfer them.

Also i've noticed PGR4 installed the hard drive has an audio bug, in some races with more than one car the car engines sound distorted and at the end of the race the music slows down. It isn't a big thing as the game is still perfectly playable.

Does the Official 120 GB drive come with the transfer cable or do you have to buy one?

Even though it went against my own personal beliefs as I still think it is a huge rip off, I asked for one for X Mas since I was not paying for it. :p

I know my wife will be getting it for me, so just wanted to know if I should call MS now for the cable if I have to or if it just comes with one.

Pretty sure when you buy the standalone hard drive then you get the cable with it, however when you buy an elite you can ring MS and order a free data cable.

i can confirm that the 120 GIGS comes with a transfer cable since I4ve bought one.

False. Of course we formatted the drive, otherwise it would be unusable by the 360 anyway, not to mention it wouldn't be picked up by the program.

Besides, it's just not possible to do this mod without the format since you need to enter the console serial ID into the hard drive via format. I don't think it's possible to hex-edit and magically not have to do the format.

      I agree. I also think Phil stayed too long. They should definitely fire whoever thought all a console platform needed was Call of Duty, Elder Scrolls, and Fallout to survive. Asha and crew are still saying they need more Elder Scrolls and Fallout games. They simply don't get it.

    • Mozilla highlights Firefox Nova 2026 redesign and more upcoming features with new roadmap

      Mozilla highlights Firefox Nova 2026 redesign and more upcoming features with new roadmap by Sayan Sen Last month Mozilla confirmed that Firefox was set to get a major redesign this year. Dubbed "Project Nova", it can already be tested and will roll out to all users later this year.The idea is to keep the browser competitive in a rapidly evolving internet landscape. As such the revamp focuses on improving privacy, usability, performance, accessibility, and customization. Key privacy features including the built-in VPN, private browsing mode, and Enhanced Tracking Protection, will be more visible and easier to manage, while users will have the option to disable AI features entirely through a dedicated kill switch. Additionally, the redesign promises faster page loading, the return of Compact mode, expanded personalization options, and stronger accessibility support. You can find the full details in the dedicated piece linked above. In a new blog post today the company once again reiterated on Nova and also emphasized other new and upcoming features like the settings revamp that is intended to make it easier for users to understand browser settings. In order to make it simpler for users to keep up with such features Mozilla today is launching Firefox roadmap. Hence enthusiasts and interested users will be able to check out what's cooking and also share feedback about the upcoming additions. Alongside the roadmap announcement, Mozilla also highlighted what's new in Firefox 152. One of the biggest additions is the arrival of Tab Groups on Android. The feature, which has already been helping desktop users organize large numbers of tabs, is now beginning to roll out on mobile. Users will be able to group related tabs together, assign names and colors to them, and return to them later. Mozilla says support for iOS will arrive later this year. Firefox 152 also introduces the aforementioned redesigned Settings experience. The company says the changes are meant to make controls easier to find and help users discover features they may not have previously known about. Existing preferences are not changing, though they are now better organized. Another notable addition is the new Blocked Tracker Widget, which provides a visual overview of Firefox's privacy protections by showing how many trackers have been blocked over time and the types of tracking activity the browser has stopped. Looking ahead, Mozilla revealed several upcoming roadmap features. They include customizable keyboard shortcuts, as well as enhanced PDF editing tools that will allow documents to be split, merged, and reorganized directly within Firefox. The company is also working on bringing Multi-Account Containers into the native Firefox experience thus removing the need for a separate extension. Meanwhile Firefox's built-in VPN is set to expand to mobile devices. Mozilla is also developing AI-powered features like Quick Answers, which can provide concise responses to voice queries, and Smart Window, its optional AI browsing experience that is now available without a waitlist. Finally, a new Power Saving Mode is in the works and will help reduce the impact of resource-heavy tabs on mobile devices in order to extend battery life. The video below summarizes the upcoming changes in an easy to understand format: You can find the announcement blog post here on Mozilla's official website.

      Dead on arrival at that price. Like they missed the mark by multiple hundreds of dollars - this should actually undercut the Macbook Air at $899 if they want any sort of sales / further adoption of WoA
