    Xbox 360 hard drive will not format


    I recently bought a used 250 gb hard drive and am having problems with it.

    My console is the 360 s. The hard drive is an official Microsoft one. It came with games and profiles still on it and when I tried to format it, it became unformatted and will not format. I have already tried turning it off, removing, turning on, then off,
    putting the hard drive back in, and turning it on again. I have tried this a few times. Nothing I do seems to work. Each time it looks like it is formatting but it is not working.

    Is there anything else I can try or is the hard drive unfixable?

    :)

    Please help

    The Xbox 360 should be able to support external hard drives for game storage.

    Is your Xbox 360 fully updated? Have you also formatted the hard drive with the Xbox 360?

    xbox external hard drive

    Hello,

    If you're talking about the hard drive that sits on top of the arcade edition Xbox 360 if you've formatted that on a PC then that hard drive is essentially useless. The console can only read FAT32 formatted console drives, however these need to be in a very
    particular file system structure for the console to read the drive. There's no way to format that hard drive with anything other than a Xbox 360 console and expect it work, it just won't, or it will and it will only appear as a USB Flash Drive.

    Xbox 360 hard drive formatting

    It’s an intentional feature, Xbox hard drive’s have custom formatting that is not compatible with standard computer dries. You must use an official Xbox drive that is pre-formatted for the Xbox 360, Xbox one internal drives or not user replaceable

    External hard drive xbox one

    Hello . For games in one, the hard drive have to be 3.0. for multimedia have to be 2.0 or 3.0. also change the format of harddrive. When you connect a hard drive for games, xbox format the hardvdrive for adapting it to the console. I think that the 360
    and one dont use the same format
