Ok so a couple of months back I updated my jtag to the kinect dashboard - in preparation for getting the Kinect for xmas. At the time I installed the secondary update too to get the avatars back.
I run a powered 3.5" external drive, normally through the back USB port.
I've just finally got round to putting the kinect on today. Obviously, as per the instructions, the Kinect had to go on the back, so I put the external hdd on a front port.
Kinect asked for another update, so I applied it...no problems there.
Booted to FSD and saw games fine.
I then attempted to play from external, the game Kinect Adventures, and Kinect Sports, the first of which dumped me back to nxe with a "game failed. please download again" or words to that affect message. The second game loaded fine into menus etc until started to play the game and it then gave a disc read error message.
I thought there was some problem...but then I tried Kinectimals.....that played fine, and my son has been playing it for a couple of hours with no problem (again from USB)
However, I then went to load the game Joyride. It started to load, but then the 360 powered itself off.
I then turned the 360 back on.....and once in FSD I can no longer see my external games showing up at all.
To cut a long story short....now, the External HDD will ONLY work when its in the rear USB port.....it has stopped working in the front ports? (I do not know if it worked in front ports pre-kinect as never tried it).
The front ports themselves do work as tried standard usb sticks with no problem. I've also tried a USB 4 port hub in the rear, to see if that would allow both kinect and external drive....but again it does not get detected? Any ideas what is causing this and why it suddenly stopped?
Kinect dash is on 2.0.126.11.0 FWIW
