    I had the same problem! Try plugging the flash drive into one of the usb ports on the front side (under the Connect To A Controller button)

    Should i get a new xbox

    [quote user="MayhemsShadow"]the xbox has never recognized a usb flash drive larger than 16 gb[/quote]Wrong.



    The 360 can recognize large storage devices just fine. Plug a 64GB USB flash drive into the console with one big FAT32 volume on it? No problem.



    Up until Fall 2012, the 360 could only make use of 16GB of a FAT32 volume as a USB Memory Unit. As of the Fall 2012 update, that has doubled to 32GB.



    Support finally got around to updating the
    USB flash drive doc     with the 32GB information. Note that to create a USB Memory Unit of maximum capacity, a drive larger than maximum capacity must be used due to differences in how the 360 denotes 32GB vs how storage manufacturers denote 32GB.

    Game Drive - you need to attach an xbox 360 hard drive

    Do you have any other usb storage devices plugged into your console? Because the Xbox 360 will only recognize 2 at a time. So let’s say you have two flash drives plugged in already, it wouldn’t recognize the hard drive without removing one of the flash drives
    first.

    XBOX 360 S internal hard drive not being recognized.

    Are you simply using it via the USB. it won't recognize it via SATA (if that's hat you were trying)?

    Just an fyi, once it does "see it" and it's Formatted properly by the Xbox 360, it will only be 16Gb Maximum. In short, it's a lot easier to simply use a 16Gb USB Flash Drive. But it won't be recognized as a HDD either. Games and Game Features that require
    a HDD will not work with only a USB Storage Connection.

    In addition, there is no "Disc" or anything that needs to run by the Xbox 360. It is either a correct Formatted USB Storage Device or not. The Disc mentioned in the Transfer Kit is simply to Move Content from one Storage Device to another, not Format anything.

    Can no longer use external storage

    In my case, the drive is recognized by PS4 just fine. But Xbox does not recognize ANY storage device - several hard drives or USB flash drive.
