[quote]What the shitting -blam!-, Microsoft? At first, it wouldn't show me the contents: when selected, it simply showed me my Xbox HDD contents. Now there's no indication of it whatsoever, even though the damn thing is physically plugged in and the blue light is on. Apparently this has something to do with instant on mode. Which, ironically, I pretty much never use. -blam!-ing great. Can't play BioShock, Recore, probably not even Rise of Iron. Any ideas?[/quote] If you’re currently in Instant-On mode, follow these steps to adjust the power management for storage: Scroll left from Home to open the guide. Select Settings. Select All settings. Select Power. Go to Power mode. Unselect the checkbox next to “When Xbox is off, turn off storage.”
