Hi All,
I’ve not played customs on my 360 for a while now, but today I thought I would try out some of the new customs. I have a 2nd 360 hard drive which I keep RB customs on, so instead of swapping USB memory sticks I flip between HDs. This is what happened;
1) Connected up customs HD to PC and copied over new customs.
2) Swapped HD on 360.
3) Played a few songs.
4) Put customs HD back to PC.
5) Copied over another custom to HD.
6) Swapped HD on 360.
7) Custom not showing on 360.
Connected HD back to PC, custom not showing up in Party Buffalo.It goes through the process of copying the file over but it does not stay on the HD. Even a previously working custom will no longer copy over. The HD is fine, I even deleted the song cache (I don’t care for the song stats) and the 360 recreated that file fine. So I’m now not sure whats going on. I’ve not changed the method, so I suspect some 360 update has changed something to the HD? Is there a new method to copy customs directly on to the HD now?
Any help greatly appreciated.
RBtoUSB does not work for this. It’s not a USB drive so does not show on the drives list. I’m using an original HD unit with casing that is connected with the MS HD transfer cable.

However, I never used an HD to transfer files to the Xbox so I don’t know how that works even with PB. With that said, if your HD has been formatted after the new Xbox update and in fact it’s now using the FAT filesystem as USB drives now do, you can’t use Party Buffalo anymore anyway.

I’m using an original HD unit with casing that is connected with the MS HD transfer cable.I’ve never had a chance to test with a Xbox specific hard drive, but it should work with it, seeing as it works with standard SATA drives, SSDs, USB and as farottone mentioned, networked drives. The only restrictions I placed were that the drive letter can’t be C: and it can’t be a disc drive.
xbox specific hard drives connected with the transfer cable do not get assigned a drive letter because they are not seen as a storage device. So RBtoUSB will not recognise it. I’m guessing that Party Buffalo looks for a specific device.
The drive was not formatted since the update, so I assume it’s still the old format. The only thing that has managed to write to it was Horizon which needs local Admin to recognise the device. I’m assuming that in the system update MS have somehow changed the write method to the old HD and that Horizon was updated after this change. Annoyingly Horizon is full of adware rubbish, so had to be careful during install.
Just looked at this. My old format Xbox drive did not show up in Windows. When I went to Disk Manager it indicates that it doesn’t have a proper MBR so Windows can’t work with it. So yeah, that’s definitely an indicator that it isn’t working simply because it’s not in the format that RBtoUSB needs it to be in.
IF you do format it and it’s FAT32 and it works on your Xbox and Windows sees it, but RBtoUSB still can’t work with it, then that’s a problem I would like to fix. In the meantime, the problem at hand is not a RBtoUSB issue.
