    Is there a way to make an External Hardrive the default Memory?


    For some reason my system wants to use my Memory Unit Rather than my 2 TB Hardrive. I just want to make it so that it uses my Hardrive rather than the memory unit for downloads, saves, Etc. The Memory Unit has Barely any space on it. Can I get some help?

    :)

    keep having to re-install disc 2 for Halo 4 - usb

    Thanks for the replies. I have a WD external hardrive but I have tried using that with my Xbox and it did not even recognize it as being plugged in. ShoPastry, do you know if there is a way to make my WD hardrive compatible with xbox?

    Is there a way to make an External Hardrive the default Memory?

    I'm not sure there's a way to explicitly mark a storage device as the default on Xbox 360, but if your flash drive is full then all content you download greater in size than its remaining capacity will automatically be pushed onto the next device, in this
    case the external hard drive making it the de-facto default.

    For saves, you choose this each time you boot up the game. This is self-selected.

    Question About File Transferring....

    You can use any external hardrive that you have available (USB, Laptop, hardrive memory transfer cable, etc.) so yes using your flashdrive is a viable option.

    how to transfer minecraft "xbox one edition" world to usb

    That would be duplicating, which you cant do. Transfering would be moving jr from say your xbox memory to an external hardrive
