xbox not recognising 1tb toshiba hd

[Skinny]

Plugged it into usb but won't recognise it? Any ideas?

It's probably in ntfs format. So it won't work with the xbox, it'll need to be Fat32, don't know how to sort it though.

 

[Skinny]

Yup that's it ffs. Going to have to partition it. What a pita

I done mine the other day as it was in ntfs and the xbox couldnt see it, used partition magic 8.0 and it now works a treat!

 

[clio_mad]

Have you got a guide on how to do it?

Fat32 has 4GB file size limit.

If (like I used to) you want it for HD-WMV, use Mac Drive and format it to HFS+

 

[Mike_182]

Aye, HFS+ or FAT32. I though FAT32 did 1TB drives?

 

[Oggy997]

FAT32 has a 4GB file size limitation

FAT32 has a 4GB file size limitation

Yes, I can read thanks. But file size limitation and partition size limitation are different things.

Hence my original statement, I thought FAT32 did 1TB drives? I've just checked, depending on what cluster size you use, up to 8TB is possible.

I was clarifying that it was file size and not partition limitiation.

I use a 1TB, as FAT32 in my Dev Kit... However, windows built in formatter wont format anything over 32 or 64gb as FAT32 (I forget and can't be arsed googling) -

I use(d) http://xrl.us/bgrgqv to format my 1TB as FAT32, but again, if you want large file support, you'll need HFS+

32GB formatting limit in Windows post-XP.

Used partition magic, great program no need to backup data etc works perfect.

Now got it split 400 Fat32/600 NTFS
