So i got a 1tb external hard drive and it worked fine on my 360, then i formated it to ntfs so i could put files 4+ gig on it. Now my xbox cant recognise it. ive read about a different format that works on the xbox and can store 4+gig files on it, but i have alot of films and games on my hard drive and dont want to loose them all and i dont have another place to temperaraly store them. Is there a firmware hack that will force the 360 to recognise it. or can i somehow format my harddrive without loosing all my data ???

Get macdrive7 and format it to HSF+ filesystem. Works on Windows and 360 and no 4GB limit.


Edit - Realized you have stuff on there already. Make a new particion and format the new partition to HSF+, copy all your files over.. Convert NTSF partition to HSF+, then merge them together into 1 big partition.

You may need Partition Magic 8 for this and XP (not sure about vista working with this)

Dont use Partition Magic on Vista, it will go horribly wrong.
