I store most of my media (music, images, videos) on my external hard disk, and I've had issues with the 360 reading any videos (through TVersity) on the external disk, so I skipped the middle man and just connected my HDD to the xbox through USB. Now, though, the 360 doesn't detect that I've plugged anything in there, it doesn't detect it under the pictures, music, or video options under the Media tab no matter what I try, quite frustrating.

no you dont have to use fat32 ,  i use an external 500gb drive hooked up to xbox360 via usb , it is formatted with macdrive(hfs format) , and it works perfectly well , it handles file sizes over 4gb no problem , and i just hook it up to pc to transfer stuff onto it

kynaeus - if possible try to defragment your drive , or is it possible your external hard drive maybe has a problem?

There's no problem with it, I use the drive every day and it works just fine. Yours is probably detected because it's the HFS format instead of NTFS. Regardless though, I don't want to format my drive. I'm just trying to figure out why Xbox is so crappy at streaming video files through TVersity, my computer isn't running anything at all so its not a matter of processor power being unavailable or anything...
