Xbox 360 is not compatible with xfat formatted hard drives. In order to use the hard drive, it will need to be reformatted. If you are unable to do this with the operating system that you have, you can download a third party format tool which will do the job.

Will an exfat format work on the Playstation 3?

Currently the PS3 does not support xeFAT for external HDDs. It only supports FAT32 formatted drives which means that it does not allow files bigger than 4GB on external HDDs. This is crazy as the PS3 is supposed to be a HD movie playing machine but most HD films are larger than 4GB. Ah well hopefully it will support exFAT at some time in the future.


Why does my external hard drive work in Linux but not in Windows?

The most likely reason is that the drive was formatted with a Linux file system. Reformatting the drive to NTFS or FAT32 will make the drive usable in Windows. You could also install an ext4 driver in Windows to access the drive without reformatting it.


What happens if you format an External Memory Card?

A memory card will be formatted to the system you format it on.

Why cant my hard drive be formated to work on the xbox Not even when its formatted to fat32?

xbox hard disk drives (hdd) are locked, you have to lock a non-xbox hdd to make it work. but you will have to understand the engineering of the hdd in order to make sure that it is compatible with the system. not many are compatible. most times it is best to modd the old xbox in order to add a second hdd. after modding it you can modd a controller cable to become a USB cable.

What is the best file system for Windows XP?

The NTFS file system will allow you to use the full capabilities of Windows XP. For example. EFS (encrypted file system) will only work on an NTFS partition. However, if you have upgraded from a previous version of Windows to Windows XP it is likely that your file system will be FAT32. If you have a dual boot computer, using a previous version of windows or a Linux installation and intend on accessing some of your files from both operating systems, you will need to use FAT32 as older versions of Windows and Linux cannot read NTFS.


What would happen if you stuck a hardrive from a Windows Vista in to a windows 98?

The Hard Drive with Windows Vista installed on it would not work in Windows 98 unless you reformatted it using the FAT32 File System, thus erasing all data. Windows Vista uses the NTFS file system, which is not supported by Windows 98.
