How to Make a FATX Drive

FATX is a modified version of the FAT32 file system format. The FATX file system format is used on the Xbox 360 console. Despite both being Microsoft products, the FATX file system is unrecognizable by the Windows operating system. In order to format a drive in the FATX format, you'll need to do so on the Xbox 360 console itself. Once formatted, it can be used as a storage device for the console.
