TheExecutter 3 Posted July 7, 2014 So Ive got a new external drive, its a toshiba 1TB 3,5'' Stor.e canvio. I pluged it in (first i formated it to FAT32) and it worked fine. Then I turned my console off and back on and it got stuck on the Xbox 360 logo screen. I turned it off and back on and it worked. But every second time I turn it off it does the same thing. It works if i unplug my hdd. What should I do? Oh an I have a JTAG btw... I have arround 20 games on it. Is it posible, that it just boots slower and i dont wait enough time?

Swizzy 2084 Posted July 7, 2014 Seriously, learn to use the edit button! It's a "common" issue, your harddrive is basically getting stuck between the messages saying "Hi, my name is ... what's your name?" and the response from the console, meaning, it's waiting for the consoles response... and the console is waiting for that initial message... It's not uncommon for RGH to have such issues especially when it comes to harddrives with external power sources... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheExecutter 3 Posted July 7, 2014 I just copied the launch.ini to the hard drive and it works Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Swizzy 2084 Posted July 8, 2014 It actually doesnt work now. What can I do? Plug your USB drive in after booting? get another usb drive that doesn't have these issues? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheExecutter 3 Posted July 8, 2014 It was kindda expensive, so not a new one. Will the thing i sais up there work? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Swizzy 2084 Posted July 8, 2014 It was kindda expensive, so not a new one. Will the thing i sais up there work? I don't think removing the Xbox 360 MU part (the USB Memory Unit thing) will make a difference, however... if you unplug your hdd while starting your console, then plug it in when your console is started, it should work...

TheExecutter 3 Posted July 8, 2014 But its kindda anoying, especially when the kids want to play... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheExecutter 3 Posted July 8, 2014 Now I left it on, and it ran like 10 mins after the boot screen... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Swizzy 2084 Posted July 8, 2014 It's one of those things that happen i'm afraid, you have RGH i'm guessing? during startup your console will reach the point multipile times where it tells the harddrive to start doing it's thing, the harddrive then does that while the console reboot again... the harddrive then get the same signal while it's busy causing it to ignore it... the console then waits for your harddrive to respond to that request, but because it was busy it ignored the request and the console stays waiting for something to happen...

TheExecutter 3 Posted July 8, 2014 Oh, so theres nothing to do about it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheExecutter 3 Posted July 8, 2014 What if I maybe try to set it up so it boots up in the stock dashboard? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Swizzy 2084 Posted July 8, 2014 What if I maybe try to set it up so it boots up in the stock dashboard? The glitching is the reason it's having issues... booting to stock dash makes no difference Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheExecutter 3 Posted July 8, 2014 So theres no other way than to get a new HDD? Should i get an internal or external? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Swizzy 2084 Posted July 8, 2014 So theres no other way than to get a new HDD? Should i get an internal or external? Internal is better then external, it doesn't have this problem... You can just unplug the harddrive during boot and then put it in the console once it's booted, that way you don't need a new harddrive Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheExecutter 3 Posted July 8, 2014 But I just said that when the kids are home they cant play... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheExecutter 3 Posted July 10, 2014 Would a format work? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheExecutter 3 Posted July 10, 2014 i decided i will buy a new one. Should i get a WD or a Segate and can I get an HDD without external charging? They both support USB 3 and 2 so will it work? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
