I did a little bit of research as to what is going on, but I can't find anyone else with my specific scenario.
I have a 2 tb external hard drive that I got no more than 2-3 months ago. I reformatted it off the bat to fat32 so I could play movies/tv shows/etc on my 360. I had no problems at all with it.
Then recently I tried transferring some files and it popped up with an I/O error and I looked it up. That's apparently bad news, but I've only had my HD for so long. Then I tried downloading something and it would stop after a little bit coming up with the same error.
I tried playing files on my computer that were on the HD and it was saying that the files couldn't be found.
So, I let it sit for a few hours so I didn't just throw it against the wall and I came back and hooked it up to my 360 for the night so I could watch something (hopefully) and it worked fine. There were a few issues with my 360 recognizes the portable device but after a few restarts of the 360 it worked.
Then, this morning I went to work and came home to see if I was still having problems and when I tried downloading something it didnt say there was an I/O error, but it just said that the system couldnt find the file specified.and wouldnt download. And files on the HD still wont play on the computer.
help
