according to your other thread, its formatted in NTFS. the xbox 360 wont read NTFS drives, it needs to be FAT32 or HFS+

Depends, Fat32 will only support 4 gigs per video file.  However with the mac format HFS+ it unlimited.  If you got some hdtv videos you will probably want to go with HFS+ but you will need macdrive 7 for your computer (it isnt free sad.gif ).  Its really a shame the 360 cant support NTFS...but oh well.
