    USB Memory Stick problems

    put the memory stick BACK into the 360 and FORMAT it. did you miss the part when your 360 gave you an option to format PART of the memory stick for 360 use and the remainder for PC use???

    read the instructions on your 360 screen BEFORE formating

    To format a storage device

    Start your Xbox 360 console without a disc in the tray.

    Go to the Settings hub, and choose System.

    Select Storage.

    Highlight the storage device that you want to format, and then press the Y button on your controller.

    Harddrive too small for downloaded game

    Yes, I formatted the usb for the console and my console recognises it as a memory unit but does not give an option to download the game to it.

    4 GB Xbox 360 Update Problem

    Hi Frank, it looks like your memory unit got corrupted there. As all the data appears to have been wiped you may as well try formatting the memory unit.

    -

    Go to settings/ system/ storage. Highlight the memory unit and press Y on the controller, you will see the format option, select that and follow the instructions on screen. If the memory unit will not format or formats and then becomes unformatted after
    you restart the console then you'd be looking at having to send the console in for repair.
