How To Format USB Hard Drive For Xbox 360 HFS+

After reading places that I would be able to use a USB Hard Drive with my 360, I couldn’t wait to receive mine in the mail.
After it arrived I formatted it to FAT32 and It would not show up on my 360. After getting really angry, I found out that the 360 Reads the HFS+ (Mac) Filesystem way better then FAT32. Weird I know, but I formatted and sure enough it worked. I Used MacDrive7 to do this, Download it Here. (Please note that after the hard drive is formatted and turned on and connected to the 360, I have to wait a min, then unplug the usb, and plug the usb back into the 360 for it to detect it.)
