    Please tell me this is a sick joke

    You need a 16 gb USB flash drive. It MUST have sufficient read speed 15mb/s

    "This initial install will require an Xbox 360 Hard Drive or an external 16GB USB flash drive with at least 8 GB of free space. If using a USB flash drive it must be at least USB 2.0 with a minimum 15mb/s read speed and formatted for Xbox 360 use. A new USB flash drive is recommended to ensure optimum performance. "

    If I format a flash drive partially for use with the 360, can I ever format it back to use with PC?

    I formated my flash drive to work on both platforms by sticking it into the 360 and going toS ettings > System Settings > Storage > USB Storage Device > Customize.

    It appears a file has corrupted my Xbox One. Need Help!

    I see. Make sure that only the offline update file is stored in the USB flash drive and that the USB flash drive is formatted to NTFS format. The console should detect it properly after doing that.

    3TB hard drive for media won't format

    Hello,

    Captain WD is correct : the 360 will only take an external hard drive up to 2 TB. The xbox One can take larger like a 4 TB. I would say the drive is too large to use. Though the system used to accept larger drives and use what it wanted. Now it doesn't.

    XBOX says:

    'You can use other USB flash drives to store up to 2 TB of content. Configure these flash drives as memory units to work with the Xbox 360. To learn more -

    support.xbox.com/.../usb-flash-drive-faq     '

    With the new settings on the 360 you can format the drive on a computer then use it on the console. The question is does the console recognise the drive? Try formatting it on a computer first then connect it. If possible format it to a 2TB size (shame
    I know) then try again or get another drive.

    Good luck & happy gaming

    computer FAT32 Flash Disk error ?

    Hi AlphaKitty14,

    If you'd like to use your USB Flash Drive to put videos onto it to view them on the console then you do not format the flash drive at all on the console. You will need to plug the USB Flash Drive into your PC, make sure it's formatted for FAT 32 and then just
    drag and drop the files into a folder. You then unplug the flash drive and go to the Xbox 360, if these files that you've put on the flash drive are playable they will appear when you go to the Dashboard > TV & Movies > My Video Apps > System Video Player
    > Select the Portable Device.

    You only format/customize the USB Flash Drive on the console if you intend to use the USB Flash Drive for storing Xbox 360 games, downloadable content, and game saves, etc.

    USB HELP

    To use a USB flash drive with your console, the USB flash drive must meet these requirements:

    A minimum of 1 GB storage capacity.

    Formatted with the Windows FAT32 file system. Macintosh or Linux formats do not work.

    Note Using a USB flash drive that does not meet the minimum performance requirements might significantly affect the performance of your console.

    Your drive should work as long as it's FAT32 formatted. to format in FAT32 see here- (older guide but should still have relevant steps)
