Hi!

If you are havving to reconfigure your flashdrive every time you turn on your Xbox. Then that flashdrive is incompatible.

Perhaps you should take a look at

USB memory stick lost files after turning off my system

I just got a Lexar 8GB Twist Turn USB Flash Drive - Orange (LJDTT8GBASBNAV)

I also have had a grey microcenter 1gb flash drive

The Lexar loses everything after removed or if the xbox turns off and must be reconfigured every time, but the microcenter has no problem

I need help! What should I do? I might get another flash drive instead. Any suggestions?

 

Sorry to hear it. There's nothing you can do to recover the items. To prevent this from happening in the future format the usb on your pc before configuring it on the console.
