I just bought a Lacie external drive. Normally i can plug in a USB drive into the 360 and it recognizes it just fine (ie a usb flash drive). When i plug the drive in it does not even show up. I do know that these drives can be compatible as i have read about people watching videos and stuff from these drives through the 360. Please help

Okay, for the record, the XBOX 360 does not officially recognize anything other than USB flash drives. I've tried the same thing; it doesn't work. Basically, anything the requires power to supply it with it will not recognize. Now I suppose it would recognize a Seagate Freeagent Go, but I've never tried it, since I don't have the $60 to buy a 500 GB one.
Also for the record, you cannot save XBOX-based data anywhere but your XBOX's attached hard drive (the ones that come with the more expensive XBOX systems and can be purchased only for XBOX and work only with it). I don't really see any point to having a more than 8 GB flash drive to use with your 360; the only thing you can view with it is photos in a photo part and only a select few video formats. If you have a PC with music in a shared folder you can use Winamp Remote to play it on your XBOX, so having music on it is pointless as well. Basically, the only thing you need the XBOX hard drive for is to save content downloaded from the XBOX community on it.
And to what those people said, the XBOX was made with NTFS in mind, which was introduced with Windows XP. FAT and FAT32 are older file system formats. FAT32 came with Windows 95/98, and FAT with every system before that. So what they are saying is a moot point, since the XBOX hard drive itself is NTFS, and it will only be able to read NTFS type drives to begin with. Besides that, it is not certain devices that work with it. It is only devices that are powered that will not work with the 360. It's a failsafe to make it harder to flash your system or put non-Microsoft data into a 360 (besides what is allowed). Or at least that's what I've been told. I honestly am not 100% sure why they don't support powered devices, but I know they don't.

External Hard Drive Xbox 360 Backwards Compatible?
Q. My friend owns an xbox 360 arcade with basically no memory (like 512mb). Because the arcade doesn't have a hard drive he cannot play original xbox games on the xbox 360. I would go buy him an xbox 360 hard drive so it would work but I thought I would format an external hard drive I don't use so that the xbox will be able to read it.
My question is - Will he be able to regular xbox games on it?
Description on the External HHD - (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0018S5UCG) It's a Western Digital My Passport Essential 250GB
I know how to format it already. I'm probably going to partition like 32GB for the xbox 360 to read ( I think that is the max you can partition for an xbox 360) and format it to .fat32
I haven't even opened it from it's package. I just want to make sure it works before I go and do it.
Thanks ahead of time :)

No. You need an actual 360 hard drive to play backwards compatible games. They're the only ones that have the emulation profile from the old Xbox on them. 20 and 60GB hard drives are pretty cheap now.
