A question about my Xbox 360 and USB storage flash drive device?

Asked by raiden88 (106points) May 30th, 2022

I’m trying to transfer some videos I sent to my USB flash drive from my computer. To go from that flash drive to my Xbox 360. However, all I ever get is everything is empty with 0 kb when you go into the USB storage device on my 360 system. When I went into the storage option, it says I have stuff in there, but when I get inside it shows 0 kb meaning it’s empty. I just used a new flash drive I bought today. What should I do to make it operable for my Xbox 360 so that I can transfer those videos to my system? Thanks.

You have to format it for xbox, use fat32.

This flash drive I’m using and currently formatting has fat32 as the default. Can you tell me other instructions I also need to do besides formatting? Thanks.

Try formatting it with the Xbox. It also has to be between 1G-2TB

I just did and still no results I’m still getting the 0 kb. I can play videos if my flash drive is in the system but I can’t transfer anything to my Xbox 360 because of the 0 kb situation. What is going on? I had several videos saved to my USB flash drive from my laptop. Do I need to get an Xbox 360 slim version, or is the 360 just not suitable for the Xbox 360 system altogether? I did all the formatting and cleaning cache and all but still nothing at all.

Not sure. I have the slim and it works

It could ve something to do with file format of videos. Make sure video format in usb flash drive is supported by xbox firmware.

What video formats in usb flash drive would be supported by xbox firmware? I have WMV files on my flash drive and I keep getting the same empty 0 kb.

WMV files are correct,

I would suggest that you do a disk check on windows with “chkdsk f: /x /f /r” using command prompt, where f is the drive letter of usb flash drive. Hope this solves the issue.
