Hello,
I am trying to switch all my games to a 2.5" external drive from a 3.5". The main point being to allow the USB to power the drive and not require an outside power source. I set the drive up by formatting it and partitioning out 90% so that later I can run the covers from the other fat32 section. At first it worked and read that there were no games on the drive.
Then I copied a game using the tools for a PC. It seemed to fail after that. So I reformatted the drive and and installed just one game. It worked. I was able to load and play the game. I reset the system to try to load more games on and now it will not work. I have tried formatting the drive and everything.
The old external drive still works and the 2.5 appears to get power, but it times out after counting really slowly.
My goal is to get a setup that is easy to use for my wife, and she is not that technical.
