And how have you connected it

[hollow jasper]

On top of the Xbox 360 fat model I slotted it in and nothing. It keeps saying I need a drive with at 190mb of reserved space. I have 500GB

Why isn't it working?

[hot bluff]

I'm still not sure what "i slotted it in" means... The xbox 360 'fat' had a side-mounted hard drive option that accepted a weird shaped official xbox hard drive module.

This is the xbox 360 fat hard drive module

If you actually have a USB-connected external hard drive, then you can format it for use on your Xbox by https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/xbox-360/accessories/using-usb-flash-drive

That's what I meant my apologies.

Is there a way I can put the official Xbox module on my new hdd?

[hot bluff]

no
