I am trying to hook up my MyBook 320GB external hard drive with USB 2.0 connectors and its not getting recognized by the 360. :dntknw: Its connecting to the back USB port right above the ethernet port. would leaving the MS hard drive cause this? any thoughts how I can get this to work? i'm sick of still using a 10GB hard drive (yes you read that right, 10GB) and don't feel like blowing ~$140 on a bigger one if I can connect a different one. :beg: :help:

Whats the HDD format ? Maybe the format you have it in can't be recognized or its too big. When I plug an Ipod in, it only looks at the stuff ON the ipod and excludes everything else which is on the disk space.

if your on xp go to start->control panel-> administrative tools-> disk manager(i think or go to removable drives)-> click on your hdd and format..........once formatted it should be recognized...but you WILL lose all data on the hdd

I dont think you can use any thing other than a actual 360 hard drive or a memory card to store data for the 360 on. Let me know if you do get it to work though...

douglass is correct. only xbox hdds and mem cards work to hold game saves

it has to be formated to fat32,fat or ntfs ... im not sure which one but i think its fat32 i remeber reading about it before...i have a 500gb running on my xbox as a poratble device for music, videos and pictures hope that helps

I remember reading somewhere that you can spoof the 360 with a certain model of Western Digital HDD. I believe people were doing it over at xbox scene, but then again it may be a figment of my imagination.
Also If I remember correctly it will only work for up to 120gb as that is the biggest drive M$ makes for these. Also it isn't just a swap there is formatting/copying that needs to happen.

you need to use a prog called MAC DRIVE and format the usb drive to HFS+ then you can use it for movies and music (divx, wmv-HD). I use a 500gb usb WD drive.
after you format it to HFS+ you will be able to use the usb drive on pc, mac, and 360. also NFS+ removes the file size limit.
its funny to me that the 360 can read a apple format (NFS+) and not ntfs
ill try to check back today before i leave, cause im gonna be gone for atleast a week.
THIS CANT BE USED AS A REPLACEMENT FOR THE 360 HDD!!
