How to fully format a USB flash drive for use on an Xbox 360 to store gamesaves, arcade games, demos, gamer pictures, themes, avatar items, marketplace videos, etc… etc… 8 GB Sandisk Xbox 360 drive: USA: www.amazon.com UK: www.amazon.co.uk As of the System Update released on April 16, 2010, you can now use any USB flash drive or disc based hard drive to store xbox 360 files (gamesaves, gamer profiles, gamer pictures, themes, etc). You have have up to 2 connect USB storage devices at a time with a maximum allotment of 16 GB each for a total of 32 GB at a time.

i want to buy the new xbox 360 250 gb in gamestop by trading in my old xbox 360, i want to transfer the data from my xbox 360(old) to the new one using a flash drive. the official xbox 360 hard drives are too expensive, can i use any other flash drive, i mean does it have to be official xbox?
@popworm1234 yeah i accidentally did the same, idk what to do
i accidentlly configured my hard because i connected my transfer cable to it and connected it to my xbox, so what can i do now
The best USB flash drive to buy is a San disk or a Kingston and they are cheap at any radioshack or electronic store
i accidentally configured my harddrive as a usb is there anyway i can turn it back into a harddrive
@kizzelproducts
you need to us explore 360
@kizzelproducts just set the folder properties to “show hidden files” and it’ll show up. If you cant find how to do that, when you open the file there should be a little help button. type in the help as show hidden files. click on it then you should be good from there.
@The1Antonio1 alright thanks man
@st2293 Yes. Of course. The Xbox checks to make sure you have a legitimate game disc in the drive, and then it begins to load and play off the USB stick or HDD.
@The1Antonio1 ok, after you install it, do you still need the disc
@st2293 You need the game disc to install the game, yes. For how else can you play the game if you never have the game disc to begin with
@The1Antonio1 no i mean the game disk when you play a game , is the game disk needed to play it?
@Keepskatin
@st2293 No hard drive disk needed. The USB stick will act as the hard drive. Since the latest system update around 1 month ago, this is now possible.
@The1Antonio1 u still need the disk though right??
@kizzelproducts just go to folder options and click views then uncheck hide hidden folder,and uncheck hide operating system files,then you’ll have your precious borderlands
@st2293 Rooster Teeth’s Acheivement Hunter group actually hooked up an external harddrive and got it to work; I believe that the full drive was available for use, but I’d check out their video first before taking my work for it!
lets say i have a 90 gb external drive, if i configure it to work on 360 will 16 gb of it work? Or it wont?
anyone know how to use ipod i dont care if i have to completly wipe everything….
dont boy you can make it your self no pc needed
just buy an usb flash drive max 16gb plug it in your xbox 360
go to memory select portable divices press configure and how much space of the memory you want to use for the xbox . that is all you can save demos map pack etc and it works. but you cant use the usb flash on the pc cuz microsoft dont want people to download stuff from piratebay and use it on xbox
@kizzelproducts
As clearly explained in the description, the content is encrypted and requires a “USB Explorer” type program.
These aren’t generic computer files that you are swapping from one PC to another.
Ok i saved my borderlands data on the drive. but when i search for it on the computer it wont show up!! please help
