OK ive done some googleing since my ext hd wasnt recognised by my 360. I couldnt find a lot so i thought id ask here. I have a maxtor 160gig ext. which I wish to connect to my 360 This is currently in NTFS format. Now I have a funny feeling that im going to have to change that to FAT? can anyone confirm that? also is there any way I go do that without losing my data/reformatting my HD? Cheers guys.
^ i beg to differ. Norton Partition Magic can do it. Though ive read a few reviews that have titled it 'Partition Tragic' due to loss of data. Either way I dont think ill bother, I dont have means to back up my data and I dont feel like losing it all.
Maxtor HD's need special drivers to be used so anything window is not natively associated with will not work on the 360
Code: anyway, to convert it to FAT, you do have to format the hd...at least, that's what i've heard...
there is a way, its call backup....unless you dont have a PC or you dont know how to install a hard disk to your PC, you can always backup your data before formating.
Code: why don't you simply copy the data to your pc, then format, convert, then recopy it to your hd??...
lol i know how to back up, problem is trying to fit 110gigs of stuff into 19.7 gigs left on my PC HD lol SuperWinrar anyone?
^ lol yeah i hate norton products. and @ loony: yeah i figured, ill just wait and buy a new ext., I need a new one anyway @calvin: 25 gig of music, hundreds of movies (600-700MB each) and thousands of photos. plus all the crap ive got in my 100gig PC HD. Hence why i need a new external, i cant download half as much as I would like.
^ lol and i thought my 160 was small im looking at getting a couple of 500's and maybe a 750 when i get the cash.
