I got mine working last night by simply re-formatting the drive (fat32) copied about 8gig of music on to it and plugged it in....
reading the tut anything over 37gig (i think) seems to be a pain and has to have a partition..... i pressume you know all this and nothing has changed since you last had it working... My xbox is fully up to date with all the latest updates etc so i dont think it has anything to do with that. i would try 1 of the other usb ports maybe the one on the back just to rule that out of the equation.
1 thing i did notice this morning when i woke up. Even though the xbox was power off and USB drive was still powered up (IMG:
style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) that means i have to physically un plug the damn thing everytime i power down the xbox.... Is this the same for everyone else??? i cant believ in its powered down state the xbox still powers the usb ports???
Reformatting didn't work for me. I went and got Partition Magic and I noticed that the volume was on an extended partition. I deleted all the partitions and recreated a single primary partition and formatted it FAT32. After that the Xbox is recognizing the drive again.
Now I just need to figure out how to get some of my avis to convert properly and be viewable on the 360. Videora seems to convert everything to .mpg and the Xbox doesn't seem to recognize them. Any ideas on what the best settings to use are?
Also, my USB drive stays powered on even after I switch my Xbox off too. I remember it used to do that the last time I had my drive working too... so normal stuff there!
