do you format in fat32 or ntfs and do you format via pc or 360 elite
You want to format it in fat32, and then give the 360 elite (not the xbox ) a good amount of time to also format it, sometimes depending on the size of the hdd, it will take up to an hour i have heard. It may freeze, but its just the receiver doing its thing.

The Following User Says Thank You to baron1 For This Useful Post:
I do not have this receiver yet but I would suggest FAT32 also rather than EXT2 if the PC you are going to use is a windows based PC. EXT2 will work fine with a Linux based system but you will need 3rd party software just to see the files on a windows based system. You will not have this problem with a FAT32 file system.
