My Xbox 360 4GB will not recognize it. What do I do??

Mine did the same thing and I tried on an other xbox and did the same so I just bought a different one from a different manufacturer. I don't know why it didn't recognize it but the new I bought from Microsoft I didn't have to format it. It was just a plug and play. Hope it helps you.

Try making sure it is completely plugged in, otherwise take it out and try it again. Then if both of those don't work check to make sure you put it in properly and go into your settings and see what it's saying. I know when I first got it, it didn't read but then I looked and saw I didn't push it in all the way; after that it was fine.

You need to return it. It's not a Microsoft HDD and sometimes the xbox wont reconize non-Microsoft branded products. Return and have them send you a replacement

If it doesn't recognize it I would return it for a different one. It is probably the programing. Or try dumping ur system cache. But save all ur data to a memory stick first.

Try hooking the USB cord to the Xbox into any USB port on the Xbox along with the hdmi cord. That was the only way I got mine to do it- now it plays no problem.

Sorry, can't answer that one. I would think so, but would verify first. I formatted mine with exFAT, because it showed 250 gb but filled up after 33gb. Might need to find out exactly what the xbox usb supports first.

This HD does not work with original X box games b/c it is missing some Microsoft files.

All I know it works on my daughters XBOX 360 S that originally came with only 4GB

I've tried a few different cables, one is 1.4 and another is the one that came with the 360 which idr what version it is... It seems like other people are able to get their 360 working, so I wouldn't let my problem scare you off. The sound is way better then my past two htibs

Ours going to get recognized as "run and drive" from the get go. I had an xbox controller before this one do the drivers were still on my computer. No such luck with it being recognized a one.

Yes. Mine is 4gb 360E consile and this is working perfectly with my console.

I had the same exact problem. Try restarting the xbox, and if that does not help, then try removing and re-seating the hard drive. That's all you can do before reformatting.

I just had this happen to me. I lost 8 years of game saves. I found out its the hard drive itself. The 360 telling you its unformatted is its way of saying "something is wrong in that peice of junk you bought." It often happens when you download an update, and the increased activity is when the thing gives out. What's worse, is since it wasn't a Microsoft brand, its impossible to use all the tips and tricks recommended on youtube and other sites to rescue your information. I keep hearing about fat x explorer but I don't exactly trust it.

http://youtu.be/yAQviMOjaIoThis is the video i used and it was rather humorous at the same time. Hope this helps. The only other thing i can tell you is that when you get everything apart there 5 or 6 wires to switch out the boards and they are colored coordinated and all labeled for you so its quite simple. If the drive on amazon matches yours it will work. Mine did and i have a new less noisy xbox now.

There is a opening in the xbox 360. It's on the side of the 360. There is videos on YouTube. That's what I did to put in my. Plus this hard drive only works on xbox 360's that are the black 4gb's. If you have the 250gb xbox 360 it won't work

I've tried that multiple times, my xbox just won't recognize it. Also my working controller is able to turn on the xbox and the defective one can't. (Maybe that's a sign that its broken.)

I think you need to buy an Xbox one adapter. I only used this for my xbox 360.

That appears to be a drive for a Xbox 360 slim correct? It's a complete pain to change out drives on the slims. You have to drill into the current one, extract the dvd key and then do the same with the new drive. But to answer your question, the drive you commented on will not work. You will need to find the drive that matches the exact model number.

Original Xbox or original xbox 360? It will work for any 360 but not an original xbox

1) I'm sorry, I do not know. 2) Xbox does not really support 3rd party hard drives, I would just buy one thats Microsoft/Xbox branded.
