Help! USB device doesn't work ANYMORE in Xbox 360

Hi everybody, I've search everywhere and it seems that nobody else have the same problem as me. Sorry in advance for my English. Okay, so, I copied some videos on my usb device a couple months ago and tested it in my xbox 360 to see if everything was working
properly... it did. I could watch all the videos that were on my usb device. 4 days ago, I wanted to watch the videos again but now my xbox360 doesn't recognize my usb device as a memory stick. It recognize it as a kind of External hard drive to save xbox
360 stuff on it. I retested my usb device in my computer and everything was okay. I then repluged it in a different usb port of my Xbox and it still doesn't work. The thing that bothers me the most is that it worked with no problems a couple of months ago
and now it does not. Oh and my computer crashed 2 days ago. Why does my usb drive doesn't work ANYMORE in my xbox 360? And everything is up to date and 3 other usb devices are working properly in my xbox 360. Can somebody help me, please? I wish you all a
great day.

:)

  Method 1: Verify that the device is compatible with Xbox 360
  
  Verify that the portable device is compatible with Xbox 360. The following devices are compatible with the Xbox 360 console:

Hey there BeguiledPrune6!

I'm sorry to hear about the USB issues. Have you tried switching to a different USB port on the Xbox 360 console? I would also try plugging the USB into a PC to see if it is recognized or needs to be repaired. Here is a support article with a list of troubleshooting
steps I recommend trying:

Nobody? Nobody can help me?

 

Hey there Kateshan!

Sorry to hear you're having trouble with your USB device. Because the three other devices are working on your Xbox 360, it leads me to believe that the issue is with the USB drive you're trying to use. Unfortunately your best option is to use a different USB
drive with your Xbox 360.

 

Really? Thank you for the answer, at least I know what's up. Thank you.

 

No problem!

Sorry for the disappointing news, generally if everything else is working it comes down to the one device that isn't working. Let us know if we can help out with any other Xbox support questions
