XK3Y Help

Hi XPG..

I'm having some problems with my Xkey it has been going good till a couple of days ago, when i start the Xbox now it takes a few minutes to load the dash and i have also started getting dirty disc errors and really bad lag even offline games..

I am using a USB external hard drive i think this might be the problem just thought i would ask here before splashing cash on a new one!

Would i be better getting a external with a power lead and usb?

Thanks for reading

 

If the External USB HDD has no external power then i recommend you buy one with a external power as i had the same problem and now i have a 2TB WD USB HDD with external power and everything is sweet

 

no its just usb think that's the problem

 

Yeah get one with external power and all will be good

Will this one be ok?

 

Yeah that one will be just fine as it has a external power

 

Thanks, will gt it ordered now

 

usb power is a definite must. if you aren't using the remote it is usually ok but then you must be using the dvd/iso menu option which doesn't let you swap for multi disc games and also is supposedly not as safe for xbl. had the same issue where i was disconnecting the drive, reconnecting, and eventually it would pop up. switched to a powered external drive and haven't had any issues since.

Yeah i have been to pc world and got the WD Element 2TB HD.

It's so much quicker to load games and detect the hard drive.
