Okay, so I don't know if you still have this problem, but I found a fix. So you want to format the flash drive to NTFS, but you want to untick the box that says "Quick format". This allows a longer, deeper formating process to take place. It will take
a while, but it should work.

Hi Jesse

Thank you for your response. I have done this and both are formatted as required, the seagate drive default formatting as NTFS. But the Xbox says the seagate needs to be formatted even though it’s sayings it’s formatted as NTFS.

When you rip music into the hard drive of the original xbox what audio format was it???

Is it the same format as the xbox 360 rip ???
