I'm trying to back up my 80gb but when I go thru all the options on Backup Utility it says to connect storage device even tho it's connected. The drive works fine so what am I missing? Is it a format issue or do I need to add folders to the drive like you do when you update via usb?

Is the external drive formatted in Fat32?

u just select ur drive from the drop down menu and click in the big square box and then tick quick format and in blink of an eye its done.

Did you make sure you connected the hard drive before you turned the console on since it can be kind of fussy about these things.
