My usb drive keeps deleting everything off of it

I bought a PNY 16gb flash drive it just unconfigures it self I didnt get any message saying it didnt meet all of the requirements it said it did meet all of the requirements

the only reason that i bought the usb was so I could play Grand Theft Auto V But everytime i have to install it on my usb

:)

 

My updates don't save on my hardrive

This keeps happening to me too. I performed maintenance on my hard drive and everything too but It still keeps deleting my updates...

 

USB Flash Drive

Hi, i was just wondering why my USB flash drive keeps deleting everything off it when I turn the xbox off. I transferred some games on there that i can't really fit on the xbox because I only have 20GB hard drive. If i turn it off and on again its fine but
if its off for an hour or more everything's gone by the time I come back on. I thought it might be because I took it out of the xbox when I turned it off but I left it in last night and everything has gone again today. Its a brand new out of the packed 32GB
flash drive that I'm pretty sure is fine and it says its fine when the xbox formats it. I've tried it 3 or 4 times now and each time everything's gone.

Really appreciate it if anyone has any idea why or how to stop it.

Thanks.

 

Hi there FiveStar EVO, sorry to hear that your stick deleting Xbox Content, I also have Grand Theft Auto V on USB drive.

Try another USB drive, if everything will be fine so problem is your "Deleting Itself" stick.That will mean that your stick is broken or not compatible with Xbox 360 no matter what Xbox USB check message says.Try to use another drives or SanDisk Xbox 360
USB 2.0 Stick - it's official Xbox 360 16gb drive. I have SanDisk Cruzer Blade 16gb and it working fine with my Xbox.

Hope that will help you and you will be able to play soon.

 

my USB keeps unconfiguring itself and i have to keep downloading my profile over and over also i have to keep re downloading my add-ons again and again!!! ples help

 

So it sounds like it is incompatible

Alot of people find pny drives not to work too well with xbox units

Kingston or SanDisk or Lexar tend to be better there used to be a compatibility list for USB drive in the old forums but those are gone

Remember not all USB drives are created equal

Paying for a better quality drive saves you money and time

 

stupid answers microsoft should be trying to help they are so stingy and crappy
