You can try quick format but I suggest a full format.
I haven't tried formatting a drive with the new dashboard so maybe configure works.

anyone know what im doing wrong?
If this is an external USB hard drive then it needs to be FAT32, I think there is a limit in Windows for the size of a FAT32 partition, I downloaded a program called Fat32Formatter to format USB drives to use with the 360.
Search for it on google, it's the first link.
If this is for the 360 hard drive itself then you should be able to format it like BL4K3Y said from the M$ dashboard.
Your 360 is RGH/JTAGGed isn't it?

If you are connecting the drive through usb, you do not need to format it on the 360. Format it to FAT32 on the PC, put you games, etc on it through your PC, and then use freestyledash to view the games. When you configure it through the 360, it assumes yo uare trying to create a memory card-like storage system and only allows a maximum of 16 gigs.
I think most people are assuming you are using a 2.5 inch hard drive designed for a laptop that is being installed internally.
You are connecting to USB and will not be able to view your files through the NXE dash, but they are there, you need the proper software, ie. freestyle dash, or XeXMenu.
I repeat, do not format the drive on the 360 if you are connecting it through USB, only in it is installed in internally in the slim or a HD enclosure on a fat system.

If the drive is coming as only 15GB that means you may have multiple partitions on it.
Assuming your in Windows7 or so, plug the drive in and boot up.
Hit start, right click Computer, hit G or click Manage.
Then click Disk Management.
You should see all your drives on the left, Number Disk 0, etc and going up.
To the right would be the letters. Sounds like you should have an 80, come up as about 74gb or so. From the sounds of it showing only 15gb, you should see the 80 with a 15gb section and the rest in blank gray area.
Right click delete all the entries and it should let you compile them all into 1.
Format that as NTFS in the meantime, just to confirm more than 15gb available. then you can fat32 format it. Quick format should be fine.

As TheGlow says you will have to delete all the partions on the drive first using your computer and then format the drive fat32. When you plug it back into the xbox by way of usb do not configure it with the xbox. Launch FSD or Xexmenu and you then using the file managers of either you should beable to see all 80gb(74gb usable).
The xbox will never allow you to configure any drive connected via usb to more then 16gb.
