Woo!
I just softmodded successfully, so happy!
Wanted to say that I used three different USB drives and one MP3 player from Asia somewhere, and none of them worked. The USB drives all just made the Memory screen flash repeatedly, and AR wouldn't put files onto the MP3 player ("not enough space on card").
The drives that didn't work were:
Kingston DataTraveler 128MB - Picture here;
Toshiba 2GB - Picture here;
Transcend JetFlash V30 2GB - Picture here;
JWD MP3 Player (Model: JWM-10) - Picture here.
The USB drive that worked perfectly for me was the:
Shintaro 1GB - Picture here.
Thanks for the tutorial =]

I can confirm that the following are compatible and work!
PsP 4gb Sandisk Memorystick (did everything ON PSP)
and the IBM Card Jumpdrive (Not avaible, its pretty much a usb card, looks like a lunch card/credit card and a usb thing that flips out!)

hi guys,
my softmodded xbox has died so have bought a new one to softmod. i've lost the usb drive i used to mod the box, so have bought a new Sandisk micro 2gb one (which is on the working list).
but having problems. after formatting, instaling max driver etc the usb is recognised in Action Replay, but says no space. if i format it it reappears with 64 game saves, which if i delete them does not free up space ?
any ideas ? i bought this usb as it says on the wiki list that it works, so hoping it actually does !
or other idea - is there any way i can transfer the modded HD from the dead xbox to the new xbox ?
cheers
Stu

Hey, I can't see the MaxDrive Xbox driver when im updating! Whats the deal? I'm pretty sure i followed all the steps correctly. I formatted diskdrive, installed AR + update changed the numbers in inf file. I tried browsing my computer for the drive but i could not find it.

Just started getting into softmodding my xbox. Bought it used and figured I'd experiment.
First, wonderful tutorial. Had very few problems and those were easily sorted out by reading the replies and such.
I haven't actually softmodded the box yet, but setting up the USB drive is complete and it works 100%!
I used an ImageMate 12 in 1 Sandisk card reader, Model SDDR-89, Part Number 20-9-00163 with a 256MB Sandisk SD card. You can add this to the 'Confirmed' list if you'd like.
Anyway, thanks again! I will reply again once I finish the softmod.

Do you mean that you can't find the MaxDrive Xbox driver? With the card reader I used I had to cycle through the whole "manual driver install" screens several times before the driver I needed actually appeared. Make sure you edited the AR files properly.
--------
I finished my softmod. Worked easily once I FINALLY transferred the files from my card reader to the HDD in the box. I used a Platinum Hits version of Splinter Cell.
Question...Are there different versions of EvoX and UnleashX? My girlfriend has a modded box, but her EvoX installation has different menu options and isn't as organized. Just a random thought.
Anyway, thanks.

Yes, thats what i mean. MaxDrive XBox doesn't show up just the one above it (usb mass drive or whatever it is). What do you mean "cycle" a bunch of times? What, did you just do it over and over again? It doesn't make sense, but ill try it. How many times did it take to show up?
ps) I am not sure about unleashx and evox versions, but you should check out xbmc because it looks baddass

UPDATE:
This mod only works with 128/256/512-meg Usb thumb drives.
1 gig drives do work in the action replay software but the saves won't function in the xbox and the same for 2 gig sticks when used it lists as a unknown save in a bunch of bogus folders and doesn't work.

jbjmed82, I dunno if you've modded your Xbox by now, but if you havn't figured it out I'd try to format the usb with the AR software.
Plug the usb in you pc, open AR and click the white "memcard". If it says 0 bocks, then right click it and format it. Now try placing the saves on it.
My problem:
1. xbox says "blahblahblah... might be damaged" when i plug it in (I read this was normal). but it happens again after i put the saves on it.
2. when i format to fat32, plug into my xbox, then back to my computer, format it with AR, put saves on it through AR, then pull it out and put it back in AR says its enumerated. (if i reinstall the driver it sees it again with the files). but as i said in #1 above, the xbox says its damaged still.
I have 2 usbs, 1 makes the xbox mem screen flash in slow motion, the other is the one above.
I'm just gonna buy a new USB off amazon. I read that the "Sandisk Cruzer micro 256mb" worked so im gonna get that one.

found an LG 1Gb, but the xbox doesn't see it after i add the driver etc.
i formatted it (FAT32), put it into the xbox (said it was erased), added the driver and save files, back to the xbox---at the mem screen it's not seen.
any ideas?
