Tom4728

I just bought a 320gb Western Digital hard drive and placed all my music off my computer onto it and some films i have downloaded. When plugging it into my xbox it doesnt even recognise it yet my friend also has a Western Digital hardrive and his works fine on his xbox 360. Please help as i bought the portable hard drive to play my music and films on my xbox. Also my pc is windows vista?
how do i format it to FAT32

Answer
Try formatting the drive to FAT32

Is there an external hard drive for xbox 360?

Answer
You can connect a portable hard drive with a USB cable into your Xbox. I don't think you can save games or anything related to Xbox onto the HD, but you can use it for music, pictures and videos. The standard computer hard drive doesn't have the correct format to hold Xbox content. You have to format your hard drive to FAT32 before using it though. You can do that by downloading partition magic off the Internet and creating 4GB FAT32 partitions. You can make partitions without downloaded software depending on your hard drive storage capacity. Look at the source for more details.
