Edit: Disregard entire post. I misunderstood the question.

I'm confused. Why do you want to do this, anyway?
Surely if you're putting the drive in your XBox, other than formatting it, you won't be able to mount it in Vista anyway, since it'll be in your XBox, not in your PC.

If you can give some more info, I'll look into it a bit, since this's the kind of thing that would piss me off if I couldn't solve

It's an external USB drive. I was going to keep music, films and photos on it and connect it to the 360 via USB. But to copy the files over, I'd quickly plug it into my laptop to pop them on, then plug it back into the 360 again

FAT works on both. NTFS works on laptop but not 360. HFS works on 360 but not laptop. But FAT has the file size limit whereas the others dont. Like I said, it's not a major problem for now, but would be nice.

If bandwidth isnt a problem then you could serve everything off the PC. Tis what I do, currently using Tversity, may just use WMP if they add divx support in the next dash.x Should work with any upnp media client as well, including itunes iirc.

Aye, it's not too bad now as with Ultimate, I can run the 360 as a mdia extender so whatever the laptop can play, so can the 360
