How to Use USB Drives on the Xbox 360

[29thSPEED]

I dont know why you all are getting med that it got deleted...first of all, he said it himself in the video. second of all, if you guys just read the message on the xbox 360, it clearly says it will delete all your files.

[RockForce131]

Once you have the game on the USB drive can you upload onto the Xbox's hard drive? For example, I'm getting an Xbox Elite and I want to switch my game progress from my old Xbox onto it without taking out my first Xbox's hard drive.

[Snuckdoodle]

FUCK YOU I DELETED EVERYTHING

[Makavelli492]

wow it delete all my stuff i'm going to kill you!!!!!!!!!!!!

[st1ngr4g3]

i cant CONFIGURE IT IT WONT LET ME HELP!!!

[sifutruman]

Will you be able to play regular xbox games using the USB stick instead of having a hard drive?

[niterider1251]

@sifutruman yes

[tuckmanballin]

can you download games onto your usb

[hazmania7]

Can u download map packs onto the flash drives?

[09keithmac]

i have downloaded GTA san andreas to my xbox elite from the xbox marketplace can i copy it to a use flash drive and install it on my 4gb xbox slim?

[chilly7will]

Ty so much now I just installed my friends mw3 so I don't have to find it

[nazihto]

@jeboykenneth no

[sc4ofi31d]

Only problem with configuring to your Xbox 360 is deleting EVERYTHING from your hard drive? I use an Elements 1TB HD. I really want to be able to use this with my Xbox but I can not afford to delete everything? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks.

[TheStranger789]

@sc4ofi31d take out your hard drive while you are configuring the flash drive then put it back in when your done

[darkgreenguitarist]

@sc4ofi31d dude check out my channel, i have a vid showing this!

[watsupmatthew]

hi, i just bought my xbox on boxing day and just opened it today. Im just wondering if this trick still works with current firmware? Thx!

[thetakeris4ever]

Problem: My USB is 3.72 gb. When I configure on 360 & put it back into pc, I can't put any movies or anything or it because it says "Space free: 3.18MB". Don't get it cause 360 said it needs 1gb 4 it to be configured or something like that so therefore, I should still have 2.72 gb of free space left.

Second time I plugged into 360, I did Customize instead of Configure. Same thing.

Someone help me please. I need to test a video put before wasting a 5th disc to burn it.

[thetakeris4ever]

Nevermind lol. Finally got it. Using the show hidden folders option worked for me. After that, then Customize option worked.

[nazihto]

@thetakeris4ever when i configured my usb i download a program called horizen and then u use that to put things on your usb to your xbox 360

[thetakeris4ever]

@nazihto: Y did u do that? I don't need a program. I just format the usb for 360 & just copy ffiles from pc to usb, plug in usb to 360 & watch. What I have problem with is some movies play normal on pc. On 360, little sound & some none at all.

[RyanStarcraftProtoss]

If you plug it into your computer, can you play the game on your computer?

[MinecraftCredentials]

Does anyone know how to transfer gamerscore from one xbox live profile to another on the using my mac and an xbox?

[Char187xB2x141]

i know how to put a video on the hard drive from the 360, but i wana know how to get it FROM the USB to YOUTUBE... i've been searching ALL... OVER... YOUTUBE... and all i found was little kids vid's saying "MOD YOUR GAMERTAG WITH A USB" "HACK TO 10th PRESTIGE USB" fuckin' annoying much -.-"

[thetakeris4ever]

@Char187xB2x141: U can probably find better results via Google Search. I remember searching through Google, found out by accident how to upload powerpoint presentations to youtube when searching for how to upload videos and songs. So u should be able to find what u need. Having trouble with finding results on Google with my problem (see above) though. Would appreciate any help.

[yosep801]

does it removes all the files in my usb?

[TROUS3RS]

to test it i put my profile on the usb and then tried to transfer it back but it wont get moved! On the transfer menu it says everything is 0kb even profile!! But on the capacity bar part of it is taken up meaning something is there! Help how do i solve it?????? please! I tried a fix that suggested using usb xbox explorer on the pc but that also says theres nothing there!!!!! HELP! I know its on there!

[jkorbon]

i dont get all of my 500 gigs wen i convert!

[thetakeris4ever]

@jkorbon: Sounds like u have same problem or similar one as me.

[Ryio5]

you can use any usb drive?

[zanyredonkulous]

OMG haha how can there be this many retarded people commenting on a video at the same time. Half of your questions are answered in the video and the other half are common sense. Im surprised no ones said. Um so if i tie my shoe laces does that mean it wont fall off my foot or do i have to put glue on socks to keep it on ?

[popyman7]

shutup u spastic!!

[jvickrey901]

YOU ARE ALL RETARDS

[ImBADToo]

Dude my xbox doesnt even.load to a menu screen it just freezes on the intro.. You know thhe screen were you just turn it on wwttffhelp me pleass

[K3wlD3wd]

I dunno what magical part of "Customize" I'm missing, but even when I use customize feature, the max I can select on the option is 16.0gb

Only a complete Nob would use any sort of non-Microsoft hard drive over 16gb (500, etc.) and make it only a 16gb memory drive.

Instead, get an Xk3y attachment and you can use ANY size "external" hard drive and not have to worry about size restrictions at all.

[PooBumWaffaB]

lol i got same usb

[Mr9y1]

can u store a map pack on a flash drive?

[1123359]

My cd disk tray on my xbox is fucked up,will it play games if I had a usb cd drive that uses usb cable?????

[m21cerney]

So if I put skyrim on a usp and my brother wants to play it too on his xbox I can use the USB to play on mine and he can use the actual game on his xbox?

[bluzzzzzzzzzzy]

Mine says, "you have failed the data loss test and could not configurate your device", what do I do?

[NoRefundss]

when you said all the information on your device is gunne be deleted do you mean x box or usb

[NoRefundss]

[NukaColaBear]

[MrElectrifying12]

[rickrossthebosz]

[01LukeParker]

[WastedChannelName]

***UPDATE***

You CAN save up to 500gb! Just select customize instead of "Configure Now" and make it 500gb

Thumbs up so people can see this!

[rickrossthebosz]

@WastedChannelName doesnt it go to only 16 gb??

[jkorbon]

Anyone could play copy games then

[bitesizerick]

How many games can a 16gb hold?

[Multigamedk]

@bitesizerick depends on what games. I'd say 2-3 games.

[matbatter2010]

@bitesizerick 2. But depending on the size of the games you might be able to fit a 3rd.

[xXPowningPiercyXx]

Can I use this to upload gameplay?

[zackcaz543]

Does any one know which USB will meet all of the recomendations?

[PrettyRagdoll]

@zackcaz543 Only the ones that you buy from Microsoft

[clancyfan1993]

@zackcaz543 from my experience the sandisk cruzer 4gb usb stick was the simplest to configure and they meet all the requirements for the system. they're cheap too.

[acornhead50]

could you use the Flash drive as a Hard drive? i have a 4 GB hard drive on my Xbox 360 Console S. the new one. but it only comes in 4GB and 250 GB hard drive versions. i got the cheap 4GB one. My Xbox games dont think i have a hard drive(probably because it's so small).

so could you use maybe a large Flash Drive in place of the actual Hard drive until i get a new one?
