Method A External USB Drive

Method A: Games and mod on an external USB drive (beginner)

The simplest method: everything — the mod and your games — lives on an external hard drive (a USB key alone usually doesn't have enough room for several games) permanently plugged into the console.

Requirements

• An external hard drive, large enough for your games, formatted as FAT32.

Steps

1. Follow Create an ABadAvatar USB key using your external hard drive as the device (instead of a plain USB key).
2. Once the drive is ready, in TinyXbox360BackupManager, click the Select a target icon (bottom left) → Local Removable USB Drive → select your drive in the list.

3. Add your games: see the "Installing games" section of the home page.
4. Once your games are copied, safely eject the drive and plug it into the Xbox 360.
5. Start the console by following the "Booting the console with the key" section of Create an ABadAvatar USB key: remember to cut the Internet connection before powering on.

Troubleshooting

• The drive doesn't show up in the list: make sure it is formatted as FAT32 — other formats are not supported.
