I have successfully installed XBMC and its running fine, but i have searched many websites and they all talk in circles and dont really tell you how to do anything.
I was just wondering if there was a site that had tutorials on basically everything. I also have a few questions
At the moment im using the original hard drive, i thought it was 8Gb, but there is only 2.4GB on the E drive, and there is a "Q" drive that doesn't even show on my pc, im guessing its the E drive. The C drive only has 144Mb free, i was wondering what can i delete to get the other 4 or 5 gigabytes?
Also how to i rip games to the harddrive?
How do i upgrade to a 160GB harddrive?
Is there a specified place for music, pictures, and videos? I made my
own folders?
Can i just share stuff from my PC by putting in a shared folder and set the xbox under the same workgroup?
Why cant it play the videos on youtube? How do i add more scripts?

As you can see i dont know anything because not many sites are clear. Any help or links are greatly appreciated.

I cant find the edit, so im wondering why the F and D drives are empty.
Also if i go to the original xbox dashboard, can i play on xbox live?

This has nothing to do with XBMC, please refer to xbox-scene.com (http://www.xbox-scene.com) for non-XBMC Xbox questions and discussion.

...but to quickly answer your questions; "Q" is just a internal symbolic to whichever foler you have XBMC installed in that only the system uses. The original Xbox harddrive is 8GB but that goes not mean that you can use all 8GB. The "C" partition is about 1GB, then you have X Y Z that are the Xbox cache drives which are also about 1GB each (again nothing you touch). "D" is the DVD-ROM drive, and "F" does not exist on an original Xbox, that (and "G") is use if you replace the original harddrive with a larger one on a modded Xbox. That leaves the "E" with about 4GB, it is originaly designed to be used for Xbox game-saves and Audio-CD music rips from the original Microsoft Xbox dashboard (go into GUI interface that to delete all Xbox game-saves and Audio-CD music rips to clear out as much space as you can/want). If you go onto Xbox Live on a modded Xbox with the mod enabled then that Xbox will be permanently banned for Xbox Live, if you want to use Xbox Live then you need to get a modchip can can be disabled when you want to play Xbox Live (which in turn means that you can only play purchased original Xbox games DVD's on Xbox Live).

i'm guessing you mean your original xbox not the 360 ;)
And, it depends on which softmod you used. Some will allow you to boot the xbox without the softmod running, therefore being able to use xbox live.
again, xbox-scene.com will have your answers.
