Hard Drive Frakked

it looks like my system isn't recognizing my hard drive.

i first had a few screen freezes, so I thought that was the issue. I cleared the cache, but that didn't help. In fact, my system doesn't recognize the hard drive AT ALL. Tried pulling and replacing it several times to no avail. When it starts up, I get a
notice to update Live, but when I try that, it says I need 190MB of space. At last count it had over 100GB available. When looking at the drive in the system settings menu, it's noted as unformattted. When I try to format the drive, i get an error message
that says that action can't be performed. Haven't even had this console for 8 months...

Really disappointed that I'm experiencing such a serious issue on a new console.

Hard Drive Storage Limit

if adverts for "compatible" external hard drives are any indication it would seem the external storage patch should be coming some time soon although I note it wont be in the first patch released.
