However, some do work (forums.afterdawn.com). But you may have to format it in FAT. I doubt MS will do an update to connect something thats not meant to be connected to it. You may as well stream whatever / use Media center. If you want to use the Xbox. And you may have to format it in FAT/ FAT32 (using Linux), because of the 32 GB limit in windows. If the hdd is over 32 GB
