Connecting External Hard Drive To XBOX 360
I am wanting to connect an external hard drive to my XBOX 360 using the usb ports on the front. The drive is not recognized by the XBOX. I have tried formating the drive as NTFS and Fat32 but I have been unable to get the drive recognized. I am wanting to use the XBOX to play back MP3 files on the drive. I am able to do this using a 40 gig MP3 player.
What format scheme do I need to use so the XBOX will recognizes the external hard drive? |

my hard drive is formated in Fat32 and the 360 recognizes it. if the drive is partitioned into different formats (Fat32 and NFTS) the 360 may not see the Fat32 part. try xbox-scene.com or some other xbox-related site if you don't get your questions answered here though.

Finally got a solution...Cant beat it
Make your Hard drive to FAT 32 as shown here and thats it.
ridgecrop.demon.co.uk On that page go to FAT 32 Formatter Tab ..it will reveal al the mystery. So simple maximu 2 mns job...And XBOX 360 can recognise your hard drive. Full 500 GB,... Last edited by lokeshjb; 06-14-2008 at 08:47 AM. Reason: forgot something |

With MACdrive 7.0.10. the problem is you cant take your hard drive to pc which does not have that software.
A drive with FAT 32 will work everywhere. |
