portable hard drive xbox 360 format image
Jordan
I Just bought a 1.5 TB Seagate Free Agent Desk external hard drive with a USB to watch movies on my Xbox 360. I have used a smaller 8 gb flash drive to watch movies on my xbox with no problem. I loaded the videos to my new external drive and could not play any through the "portable device" on my xbox because it was not selectable. Please help! THANK YOU!

It will take a bit longer for a 1.5 terebyte hard drive to be read. Try giving it a few more moments. sometimes, it reads faster when the drive is turned on before the xbox is turned on, sometimes it's faster to have the drive turned on then plug it in after the xbox is on. And make sure your drive is formatted in fat32, or your xbox may not read it at all.

So i want a xbox, im looking at a 4gb kinect bundle, its on sale and really cheap.
What are the cons of 4gb?
Does this xbox have the same features as the others? like 250gb and whatever else?
Like wifi? and usb ports?
so can you plug a portable hard drive into it and save things on and and it work the same?
Thanks .

Yes, you can use a portable hard drive with an XBOX 360, but BEWARE! It won't work the same. There are some disadvantages of choosing this method for storing data.
+ You can use the entire hard drive for files you add on your PC or Mac like movies etc...
- You can only use up to 16 GB space for XBOX 360 Storage. (for games, saves etc etc) on an external (portable) hard drive.
I think you should get an internal hard drive, which is has no limitations for the XBOX 360 storage (the whole HDD is for XBOX 360).
You can only use a geniue Microsoft hard drive specifically designed for XBOX 360 Slim.
(it's hard to make hard drives for older XBOX 360s work and it's impossible to use a regular 2,5" SATA hard drive that are for PCs. Even thought it has a 2,5" SATA bay, it WONT accept a regular HDD, it spins it but it doesn't show up no matter how I format it. It needs a specific firmware, which is only present on Microsoft's HDD for XBOX 360)
So it's a much easier way to just get the official 250 GB HDD. It also has a special enclosure which makes it sliding it perfectly and fits it tight.
So basically it's just a slide-in thing.
So I would suggest you getting the Microsoft 250 GB Hard drive for XBOX 360 Slim. That's what I will do; I also have an XBOX 360 Slim 4 GB. (w/o Kinect)
