You need to be running windows 7 64 bit or it won't work.

@tonelab77 Actually that's not true since I have windows vista and it is 32 bit but hey guess you'd know better since you made the video right!

It doesn't work for me like this. I'm wondering why. I have Director 11 Home, but when I get to where I choose FAT32 to format, it slims it down to 2TB and won't let me go over that. So far I cannot get it to work and I'm stuck with a 3TB HD with two partitions and only one will show up on the XBOX

@warningx10x24x well u have to have the whole drive in one partition using NTFS and then use the director program to make it fat32 format like in my video any other questions feel free to ask srry for the late reply dnt come on here to often take it easy...

You got the same kind I just ordered! Glad to know because I want to use it for my Xbox. I got the desk version, do you know if I'll have to leave it p;ugged into the wall for the xbox too?

@XLMU5HROOMSLAP ok so i just got this Xbox 360 for xmas. is there a way to play MKV files in the xbox 360?

Dude nice job , but just curious.. Why not just use tversity and keep the movies directly on your pc that is connected to your hub? The external can be connected to your pc and then wouldn't have to unplug it ever to add movies either.. They show up after added .. I have over 200 movies still on my pc to watch through tversity or vuze. Avi's, mp4's or whatever. Just don't see the point in the extra effort for same results.

ok so I have win 7 32bit and when i putthe hard drive in MBR format it cuts it down to 2tb even in the NTFS how do we get it to the 2.72?

I just converted my 3TB WD ext Hd successfully. I am using windows vista 32bit and it converted my hd faster than I thought as I am using old 1.8ghz computer with 1gb ram. Last time it took me almost 30 mins to convert 1TB hd using different software. Thanks man, your champ!
