    my hard drive wont load or turn off


    so recently my external hard drive is not being recognized on my xbox despite the fan spinning and it clearly being on my laptop can recognize it but not enough to reset the drive. Ill know there a hard drive trying to connect but it wont. I powercycled my xbox and that when i realized the hard drive wont allow my console to restart while plugged in. Once i unplug it my console power cycles fine. Im using the xbox one s with a 2tb seagate xbox hard drive.

    :)

    Exists the possibility that your drive file system is corrupted.
    May I know if you already tried formatting the drive in your PC using the disk management tool?
    If not, please give that a try

    Use this tutorial if needed

    Can't load up my Xbox 360 Dashboard!

    Disconnect your 360 from power and remove the hard drive. Once removed, turn your 360 back on to see if the dashboard loads. If it does load, turn your 360 back off, attach the hard drive and turn the 360 back on. If it still does not load then you know
    the issue may be with the hard drive.

    Xbox cant process Update for today 2/19/13

    Try this:

    *With the 360 off, pull the hard drive.

    *Turn on the 360 and see if it loads to the dashboard.

    *If it does, turn the 360 back off and reattach the hard drive.

    *If the 360 doesn't boot back up then we know the issue may be with the hard drive.
