someone has just installed XBMC for me and i think it becomes the main dashboard as when i power up the xbox, XBMC shows up. however, i don't see any EvoX. is there any problem if there is only XBMC installed without EvoX?

i am a noob on this XBMC and have a question to ask. hope the sifu here could help me out.

if i want to FTP files (pictures, movies, mp3,etc.) from my PC to XBOX, which drive in my XBOX should i FTP the files to? i could see there are few drives under explorer in my XBMC, eg: drive C (same datas as drive Q), drive D (DVD-ROM), drive E, drive F (nothing in it), drive G (nothing in it too).

thanks in advance.

so it doesn't matter either i save it in F or G drive? i'm not so clear about what hikaru_x mentioned about xbmc shortcuts are pointing to rclxub.gif

btw, do i need to create folders in the drive that i want to FTP? eg: "Pictures" for jpeg files, "Music" for mp3, cdda files and "Movies" for mpeg4, avi, mov, etc.....

i noticed on the xmbc dashboard that it shows my F drive is unavailable shocking.gif

eg: C drive: 143mb, E drive: 3210mb, F drive: unavailable

but under x kai or something like that, i can see F:/games if i go to the Edit Path. i can also see F drive on File Explorer (but of course nothing in it).

confused rclxub.gif

so i better save things under G drive? it seems like my E drive has much more datas as the storage is about 3.2 GB (things i see in my E drive are something like apps, udata, tdata, cache, etc...)

i am planning to do this before i try FTP. that is i put a CD-R that contain video clips (WMV, MPG,etc.) i previously burned and try to copy a file to G drive and see whether i can playback that particular file later on in xbmc.

anyone care to give some comments? smile.gif

F drive only available if you have change your HDD to something bigger

so have to FTP the files to E drive........ blush.gif

i guess i still need to study the xbmc online manual in order to understand the whole thing. especially editing xboxmediacenter.xml

there is a function in xbmc like "edit path", anyone know what is it use for?
