ok, i know that some USB pen drives are supported by the xbox...but what about USB 2.0 external hdds. I have a 250gig Maxtor USB 2.0 i would like to use so i can bypass the need of using shares. I haven't been able to find much on teh google.

12/28/2005 2:43:31 PM

sorry, original xbox

12/28/2005 2:48:53 PM

I really wish Microsoft would release some update for the 360 so that it's possible to play videos from external hard drives. That would be sweet.

12/28/2005 2:51:06 PM

12/28/2005 2:51:36 PM

12/28/2005 2:53:17 PM

you're an idiot.

12/28/2005 2:53:46 PM

you're a troll

12/28/2005 2:54:15 PM

it's USB and it's a hard drive.

I don't know what you're scared of./

12/28/2005 2:55:38 PM

i'm not scared...but i like to be more informed before i try something

12/28/2005 2:56:54 PM

Just plug it in.

It won't hurt anything

12/28/2005 3:42:43 PM

ummm...do you understand the nature of usb? you're not going to hurt anything, stop the whining and plug it in...there should be a rule about who's allowed to post and who isn't

12/28/2005 4:18:49 PM

ok, i guess i wanted to know about driver support. But teh m1ghty wolfweb tells me to plug and chug. I know that nothing will blow up....but why waste my time if someone knows the driver isn't installed. (i am at work so i can't "just plug it in" right now, assholes)

12/28/2005 4:53:05 PM

don't waste our time then douche bag

12/28/2005 4:56:34 PM

? oh what, trying to get some information before i do something? I forgot that TWW is just used to bitch and moan, not actually help. thx ultra!!1

12/28/2005 4:59:43 PM

I'm going to flip a coin and I would like it to land heads up.
Now I could just try it and see if it lands heads up or I could spend 3 hours trying to figure out if it will land heads up...

in the time it took you to post on the wolfweb about it you could have plugged it into your xbox and seen if it worked.

12/28/2005 5:57:02 PM

If you plug it in at the ms dash, there is a very real chance that it will be formatted. XBMC MIGHT recognize it as a drive. Good luck in anything else.

12/28/2005 6:28:09 PM

^ thank you very much. I'll try it and let you know...

12/28/2005 6:49:50 PM

NeoEraser...you are right. It will require a format into FatX. You can not run xbe's from it and it's only USB1.1. Not very good for streaming movies but ok for mp3s. Thank you for your help. THis is the kind of answers that should be in Tech Talk...not "just plug it in." Bunch of fucking n00bs around here.

"You'd have to format it in FATX when you plug it in to be able to use it. Also, it's USB 1.1, so it's incredibly slow. It will only show up as a giant memory card, meaning you can put pictures and music on it via file manager or FTP, but it wouldn't be any good for movies and you can't launch XBEs from it. It's not worth it. Buy a 500gb drive."

guess i should stick with xbox-scene
