Hi, ive realised that the xbox360 only recognizes fat32 and the external hd i have is formatted to ntfs.
I was wondering if i make a new partition on the hd and format it to fat32 (therefore having ntfs on one partition and fat32 on the other) the xbox will recognize the fat32 partition on the hd and be able to read off that? is it possible? thanks.
I've read somewhere using HFS+ is better because you're not limited by the 4GB thing.
yeh thats right. its what im trying to do now... since encoding hd movies and splitting files seems to take longer compared to not splitting files.
i heard that macdrive7 can be used to format your hd to hfs+ but also hearing that it formats the whole HD and not just one partition? im looking it at it right now and it detects my partitions but i dont want to end up formatting the whole thing to hfs+ and destroying all my data.
i currently have 2 partitions ... fat32 and ntfs... and want to change the fat32 to hfs+... i can format it if i would have to... theres not much on it, but dont want to touch the ntfs partition and destroy the data on it.
anyone know what i can use to do this? will macdrive work? this is what it says:
"You cannot use MacDrive Disk Manager to add a Mac partition to a PC-partitioned disk. Using MacDrive Disk Manager on a PC-partitioned disk will destroy all PC partitions. "
I'll bump this thread, thinking about buying an external HDD too. How did the HFS+ thing work gamefanatic? Streaming works fine here, but I don't want to leave my PC powered up all the time. Does Windows recognize a HFS+ partition btw? Or must I use some kind of tool to transfer files after a HFS format?
