ok i posted this on the wrong forum.So, here i go again. i am new to the 360 all together. I had thought I had read somewhere that the 360 could read and play media files from a back up drive or maybe flash drive. Is this so? If it is then i am missing something because it will not read my maxtor backup drive pics from my phone or files on a flash.
Thanks in advance.

The 360 plays music and video files, not pictures. Flash drives work just fine, the link you posted is a new feature that will allow things like game saves and such to be saved to a flash drive which currently cannot be done.

ok well what i had was not a flash drive like i said, it was. It was and sd card in a usb holder. But, my maxtor usb storage device should it not recognize it? It does not and when i called XBOX they were no help. so how do i know if i am hooking the usb drive right? I would assume,since options are limited, that i am doing it right. I see the grey 'd out usb drive (i think that is what it says) but does not see it. More help please??

you have to format your external hd to fat32 for the xbox to read it.

Means it spent a few months with Jenny Craig.

Google HP Format Tool. It's a free download and will let your format fat32.
