I am having the same problem. I went out and got a 500GB external harddrive to store files from my computer bc i was getting out of memory. And i figured i could use it for the xbox as well.

I was using a 2gb flash drive to view files on the xbox and this works (better than streaming and WMP) for small tv show files it doesn't hold enough for a movie (especially good quality) HD)

I had to format the External HD into NTSC for my computer files and then i realized it had to be fat32 for xbox. I used partition magic and created a 4gb sized partition and i tried to attach it to the xbox but it still won't recognize it.

Any ideas on what i'm doing wrong?

Thanks and i'm a new member as well so appreciate any help.
