    Unhappy Lost HDD Space? Loaded mameox.xbe

    Hi, first time poster

    So I DL Coinops 8 and couldn't get it to run.
    I had the Icon, but it wouldn't boot, just go back to Dash.(I'm using UnleashX)
    So I went into file Explorer and clicked default.xbe,...and back to UnleashX Dash.
    I was about to just delete the emu, but I thought I'd give it one more try.
    As, I was about to click on default.xbe(in file explorer), I turned for a second, and because I have a bad controller with a drifting UP position
    it moved up to Mameox.xbe, and as I looked back, I clicked on it.
    I have stock HDD, and I lost my E Drive and now only have about 700mbs on two drives, C and D I think
    I didnt want to boot up my console until I got some help

    (I was about to delete Coinops 8 as I have a working Final Burn Legends )

    How can I get my old space back?
    And no I didn't save my eeprom. I know I Know, Im a fool. was to busy gettn dem emu's >.<

    D: is your CD drive (so depends what disc you have in)
    C: is the original OS drive (700MB sounds ok for that I guess)
    E: would be custom files and folders though

    Maybe you are looking in the wrong place for the space on your HDD

    I would go through the eeprom backup process while you still can

    just to clarify things(should have done this first )

    What my drives look like now
    C:143mb
    'D':nothing
    E:nothing
    X:749
    Y:749
    Z:749

    Remember the stock HDD had 8g to work with(around 5g actually)
    So, after I booted off of the MameOX.xbe
    it seemed to swipe my memory

    I've googled 'eeprom backup process' and will continue on down that way
    I imagine this will get me back my old memory?
    Anything else I should consider? Try?

    After I can get my system back to the way it was, Im done trying to get more Emulators ^.^



    ,...Ok, since I'm feeling alittle better maneuvering around inside my xbox.
    I checked System Info
    and I do have all my memory
    it's just the last 700mb or so I had left on the E: drive, is used up
    ???

    so my E: doesn't have any more space.
    am I o.k?
    should I just delete the CoinsOp 8, and everything will be hunky dory?
    anything else I should be aware of?

    thanks in advance

    Coinops 8 Massive ? or other did not work ... you can try to just overwrite the files with a Coinops 8 Standalone Package, if you can get Coinops 8 Standalone Package to work, it should boot with no roms, then it should fix the problem.

    The Retail Dash is on C:\ it is kept this way as a real method to restore the xbox and prevent any original system files from being corrupt or removed
    The Custom Dash is on E:\ keeping this separate from the original dash

    Formatting E:\ would result in loss of the Custom Dash aka the softmod exploit would be removed and revert to booting directly to the original dashboard

    Even if you are going to use C:\ drive for both the original Dash and the Custom dash, E:\ is still used for save data and a softmodded Xbox uses save data to exploit the Xbox and run the Custom dash [whatever the location of the custom dash files are] (not just the first time install but every time the Xbox boots up) and formatting will still result in the loss of the custom dash and would revert to booting the original dash, for this reason I usually say not to delete all saves as some are used as part of the exploit that runs the custom dash to start with.

    To be honest I'm thinking this thread should either be rolled back or just deleted totally to save anyone from using this kind of advice and blaming EP as a whole for the bad info and the softmod removal?????

    This is just looking like a one man mission to argue the point with staff even if the information is totally wrong and I am sure this is known, but without a care for our members and certainly not the OP, continues to argue anyway.
