yes, the Xbox needs to format the USB drive before it can read it. after the Xbox formats it, then transfer the files off the pc onto it

It sounds like your USB drive is incompatible with the Xbox. Not all usb drives are compatible with the Xbox. What happens I am guessing is that your are able to plug it in, it formats the drive, and then you can use it to copy files, but as soon as you unplug and plug it back in the Xbox will then format the drive again, because it "detected an error" in the drive. If you know what model of USB drive you have you can post it here.

Here is a helpful list of USB compatibility with the Xbox. It lists devices both known supported and known unsupportedL
