  1. Storage device not showing up (read description)


    So basically what happened was I had formatted my drive to NTFS so I can store long videos and it was good when I recognized it as NTFS and gave me the option for either making it for games or for photos and videos, I clicked photos and videos but I disappeared, I connected it to all 3 ports, restarted console, and even formatted it to exFAT. but nothing worked. I'm not sure what to do now. It's a Seagate 3 tb hard disc drive for your information.

    :)

    XBOX-360, Rear USB ports do not recognize USB-Memory Sticks

    + I have two USB thumb drives, when I plug these into the front USB ports, the lights flash on the drive and they show up in the storage devices listing; however, neither drive (one is 32GB the other is 2GB) lights up nor is recognized as storage
    devices.
    Should read:

    System unable to install system update

    Hi Draconicly,

    .

    That error code could be a problem with your storage device. If your console still reaches the dashboard then go to settings/ system/ storage. How much free space does your storage device show ? If it's less than 200Mb then you'd need to delete something
    to free up some space for the update.

    -

    If the device shows as unformatted there is a chance that formatting the storage device could get your xbox up and running again. If the storage device doesn't show at all or won't format then it's time to arrange a repair.

    -

    If you could take a look at the storage device and post back what you see if you need further assistance then please do.

    -

    To format a storage device, go to settings/ system/ storage, highlight the storage device and press Y on the controller, you will see the format option. Select that option and follow the instructions on screen.

    If the console has a hard drive then try removing and refitting that, if it's the 4GB console then you may have to send the console in for repair, check to see if the storage device show as unformatted or isn't even showing up in the storage section on the
    xbox.

    360 won't recognize USB flash drive.

    I can't configure it because it is not showing up in the list of storage devices along with the original Xbox HDD and cloud storage.

    No carga SAVEGAME de Army of Two 40 Day

    Hey there Jano! What happens when you start up the game? Does it ask you to choose a storage device? Are the proper storage devices showing up? Do you get an error when selecting the storage device? Are other profiles having issues with loading saves? Does
    your game save have a (!) icon next to it in the storage menu? Let me know, thanks!
