My xbox 360 Slim internal memory shows unformatted. Should I reformat it?

I woke up this morning to play gta v, and when I turned on the console, the system did not have any profiles. I use a 16 gb flash drive for game saves, but my internal memory had my profile data. So I can see my game saves though the system settings, but
I can not access them without a profile. Should I reformat? That is the only option that the system gives me. Place help!

console wipes memory after every restart and unable to update.

Every time I start my xbox 4gb system the internal memory shows up as unformatted. I then format it and try to install the update, when it restarts the drive is blank again and the process starts over.

When updating via download after formatting it gives me an error unable to update and restarts.

I've tried updating via usb and it tells me that the drive does not have enough space. So I format it and it recognizes it and I try the update and it fails and restarts again which brings the internal memory back to an unformatted state again.

Problem with internal memory

Some XBOX 360 Slims have issues with the internal small memory even if formatted frequently. Everything can run from your inserted 250gb hard drive so make sure you install everything there.

Is yours the slim? If so leave the small internal memory unformatted when it fails and asks to be formatted again. Then just use the other drive.

 

Try re-downloading your profile to your xbox, that should take care of the problem.

 

You can reformat or you can download your profile onto the USB drive, your choice.

If your internal memory is acting this way it's time to get a replacement HDD.

 

This is really strange... Last thing I played on my Xbox 360 slim was GTA:V too. A few days later, I turn on my Xbox, and my saves are all gone. I go to the storage in settings, the first drive is my 16G usb, and the second just shows unformatted. There
is no hard drive, I never got one, it was just the xbox 360 slim with 4gb of internal storage. Why is it showing up as unformatted, if it worked perfectly not more than 2 days ago? As for reformatting, that does nothing. Another thing, I lost my AC:IV saves
too, so I restarted on that one. The game is really choppy, and slows down to an almost pause when it goes to cutscenes. It has never done this before. I've only had the xbox for a year, never played it longer than 2 hours, never dropped, hit, spilled on,
idk never did anything to it besides play it.

 

the exact same thing happened to me after playing gta5 and if this is that common they should fine a way to fix this

 

Don't think anything will ever come of this.. Guess I'm just out 200 bucks.

More info though. When I turned on my Xbox slim and first found out the internal storage was shot, it was asking me to install an update. I started playing AC:IV and GTA:V on my white xbox 360 (old as hell, sounds like a vacuum cleaner, but I use it for
DLC), there was no update to install. A few days later I'm trying out the Xbox slim again, and there is no update, but the storage is still messed up.
