    Games on Demand from USB?

    Hi, I was wondering if it were possible to run some "Games on Demand" that I have bought from the Marketplace on a USB Flash Drive? Only reason I ask is bc I have really small HDD for my xbox and can't fit everything on there. Believe it's only 14 / 20GB
    and I would like to keep buying more GoD but need to know if this is possible first. Thanks!

    Games on Demand from USB?

    Well, I tried it out today. Put my GoD on a Flash Drive and it seemed to work fine at first, then I started getting "There's a problem with the disc you're using. It may be dirty or damaged." messages popping up. And I would have to manually reset my xbox
    from the front Power Button.

    Boo! And here I was hoping I could use my big Flash Drive to hold all my games so I wouldn't have to resort to "re-downloading" and having to wait those dreadful long waiting hours. >=/

    Anyway, thanks you two for the replies, I guess I will just have to break down and buy a bigger HDD for my box when I get the money. Do you know if Transfer Cables come with new HDD's? And how do they work, do they just transfer everything from one HDD to
    the other?

    Most likely your flash drive isn't supported or is a cheap drive causing issues with the console. If you'd like external storage, I recommend getting a passport drive, or some other form of external HDD, and avoid using flash drives.

    Flash drives only have a set amount of read/writes before they start failing and losing data, so use a HDD; they use more reliable technology.

    Like I said in my previous post, flash drives are finicky and don't last very long. They only have a certain amount of read/writes before they fail. A traditional HDD uses different technology that is designed to handle a lot of read/writes.

    You're probably getting your issues with your flash drive because it isn't supported by the Xbox.

    Try to format it from the Xbox's Settings -> Storage menu and see how it goes. I'd speak to you in Russian but my Russian isn't that great lol

    You did not understand me. I understand how the USB, HDD and so on. I am an engineer to repair the PC.

    Why after I turned off the console , the game started again and continued to play , so he kept my data . but after I played another game , I wrote that half of USB busy, but he did not see her ?? while the new USB .

    Only purchase a special HDD? could not find WD scorpio))))
