you need to clear the cache. You can call microsoft at 1-800-4myxbox, and they will guide you through the process. It may take 10-15 minutes to do but you have probably spent more time than that being frustrated.

I would suggest giving Microsoft a call and have them help you. If the hard drive is indeed faulty, they should be able to replace it for you at no charge.

SOURCE: xbox 360 120gb hdd wont format

mine just did the same thing. bought it from walmart last month now i have to return it luckily they have a 90 day policy and can exchange for a new one instead of mailing it to xbox and waiting almost 2 weeks. my hardrive did however work in a different xbox just not on my console. sucks lost all my saved & installed games now gotta go back to blockbuster and re-rent the games so i can install them again! if you cant return yours, xbox will pay for your shipping you can print the shipping tags online from xbox.com

Ok with my xbox 360 (elite), it at least takes several minutes just to load to the dashboard. (It loads faster without the hard drive.) So I go to my system and it doesnt read my hard drive it says...

Sorry to say it, but that's what a dead/failing hard drive will do. If you're out of warranty, you'll need to get a new one. To be sure, see if you can do anything with your drive on a friend's 360. It can't hurt the other system. :)

Hi I have just purchased a xbox360 Hard disk off trademe (a New Zealand website for auctions) which was advertised as new, When I connect it to my xbox and go to memory section it comes up as unformatted...

Return the drive. Buy one from a big chain electronics store and if the problem persists(meaning it wasn't just a cheaply made drive, but an Xbox internal problem), then return that drive and send your Xbox 360 back to the manufacturer (if it is under warranty, or cheaper than buying a new one)

Our Xbox 360 will not save. Have reformatted the HD several times, and after a few minutes it says it is unformatted. Do we need a new hd?

Hi,

Yes there is a problem with the hard drive and a new one will be possibility, you can however keep trying to format the drive or use a friends Xbox to try and format it. Problems like this are usually due to bad or unreadable sectors.

Sounds like the hard drive will not initialize . This problem is most likely
your hard drive. Try another hard drive . If the problem persist then you have
time out error that will some times trip the 360 to display 3 red lights . First
try another drive . And post the results and I'll advise accordingly.

I've had my console for about a year now, and a couple weeks after i bought Halo Reach, as i was playing online, it said "Could not write, possible problem is that you have removed the hard drive or memory...

the problem may come from the hard drive which means that it may have a virus like a computer or that the hardrive may have a malfuntion and cant be able to read to the xbox 360 so it is considered to buy a new hardrive and recover your profile/ enter xbox.com to get all the downloads that was on the last hard drive
