jackthejobber 3 Posted June 27, 2016 I have a partitioned hard drive with Fat32 and ntfs partitions. When I plug it into my xbox, it shows "unformatted". If I go with that, will the xbox format my whole hard drive? Or will it look for the fat32 partition and format that? Or will it format the ntfs partition?

jackthejobber 3 Posted June 27, 2016 The dasboard 2.0.17502 detects non-xbox-formatted hard drives as just regular hard drives where you see how much free space there is but obviously no game data such as DLC, saves etc. I tried it with my 2gb flash drive formatted to fat 32 and I can see "USB storage device" and the free space showing 882 MB free.

jackthejobber 3 Posted June 28, 2016 I had found a solution to my problem. I pressed 'format' then the xbox formatted the whole hard drive. I then used a partition software to clean up by leaving the first partition FAT32 then the rest as ntfs. I also saw a partition labeled with "other" as its type and I didn't touch that. It was 16 GB i think. Of course, backing up was needed, since a lot of my important files were there. And I just restored them into the ntfs partition. Now the xbox just reads the fat32 partition (359gb) from my 1TB hard drive. Sent from my SM-G900FD using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
