Using external Hard Disks on the 360

[Escape-To-88]

Afternoon,
Wondered if there is any sort of special program or certain disk type I'd need to run an external HDD on my 360?
I've heard it needs to be formatted in FAT32 format, but is that all I'd need to do? I'd want to add stuff from my P.C and then play through the 360, so wanted to make sure the drive could be read on both machines.
Any help appreciated, cheers

Yeah, I think FAT32 should be fine on PC and 360.

I spent a while earlier in the year trying to get a format that would work with mac/360/ubuntu to no avail.

yep, mine just worked from scratch once it was FAT32

What External HDD ? on XBOX 360.

Just remember Fat32 only supports a maximum of 4GB file size. If you want to play bigger files (like HD-WMV) you should format it using HFS+, as the 360 doesn't support NTFS.

To do that on a windows PC you can use Macdrive.

Google HFS+ and 360 if you want any detailed guides.
