Problem is i have partitioned the hdd, basically slicing off 64gb and formatted that to FAT32, but it still is not reading, any advice?

Is it the Xbox reading the NTFS remaining hdd first or what?

Primary has to be Fat32 also there is a limit on FAT32 size (max 32 GB) . Get a program called SDFormatter to format the drive to FAT32 (dont use the windows built in formatter.

Need to hear a few opinions guys:

I have a download code for CoD Classic - it isn't on the SA marketplace. I do have a UK and US accounts which I use for specials and what not. I tried entering the code in the US and UK account but it gave an error message stating 'this product is not available in your region'

Naturally I was bummed because the game is worth 1200 ms points and I really wanted it (got the code with a CoD:MW2 copy). Now I spoke to a buddy and he suggested I go onto xbox live with my US account, change my region setting and time zone to US and then enter the code in the redeem code section. Do you guys think this will work? Only reason I have not tried it yet was the game (along with the code) is at my uncle's house and I didn't want to phone him and have him read me the code.

COD: Classic is region locked via IP address. So you'll need to download it via a VPN, or at least start the download via a VPN, then you can probably switch back to your normal connection. Just make sure the VPN region is the same as your account region.

I've been trying to setup my new Xbox 360 but can't seem to sign in to my sister's Xbox live account? Can a 360 only have one Live account on the system at a time? Ie can we have two avatars linked to different Xbox live accounts? My profile is linked fine but it won't allow me to sign into my sister's account - keeps giving an error when we sign up.

Try reset it? I'm on my brothers Xbox and he is on mine I think.
Maybe after the reset login as her first?

try logging into her account on PC see if it gives some error.
My Wife and I have both our accounts on our Xbox so no reason it should be an issue.

Seen some generators online,but not in the mood for installing spyware.

Or do they work?

One of the biggest announcements of the night came straight out of leftfield, with Microsoft announcing that the Xbox One would be getting Xbox 360 backwards compatibility.


It’s really happening. Much like the Xbox 360’s own Xbox One compatibility, it’s being done through emulation, and requires compatibility to be coded in – but over 100 titles are being made available once the service goes live, and hundreds more will be coming.

This is exciting stuff, and is a big reason to upgrade to an Xbox One as opposed to a PlayStation 4 if you’re still carrying a large backlog of games. They’ve be available digitally, or you’ll even be able to pop your disc in and play your older games at no charge. That’s much better than a millokn and one last gen remasters that cost full sale price.

You’ll even be able to use Xbox One specific features, like grabbing screenshots and video. It’s an ace-in-the-hole that nobody saw coming, and it’ll certainly help sell Xbox Ones in regions that were Xbox 360 dominant.

There is no recoding of anything. Each game runs in it's own 360 VM on the Xbox One, publishers just need to approve that the game can be made available. MS will then put that game in a VM and you download it when you put the original disc in your drive.

For the past 4 days Xbox 360 hangs on profile signon.
Have deleted cache

reinitiated update...

Support says next step is enabling ports on router
Port 88 (UDP)
Port 3074 (UDP and TCP)
Port 53 (UDP and TCP)

Just wondered if anyone has any experience with this issue...
