if the drive isn't even detected as an attached USB device, chances are the USB converter doesn't 100% follow the mass storage device protocols and just isn't compatible with the 360.
be aware that the HDD has to be formatted with fat32, NTFS will not work.

You can also format it to "HFS+" for storing vids and music. Macdrive is one of the programs that will do this.  Wink
