0x80bd003c - Format HDD to NTFS to use for Xbox game captures

Yes and it gives me the error message as per the above.

You can also set the external drive as capture location from the storage screen but it gives me the exact same error message.

I have reformatted the drives to NTFS multiple times using the quick format and standard format options and had no joy.

Can you check if the drive is split up into multiple partitions, or if there are any special functions on the drive (like hardware encryption with a keypad or such stuff)?

To check for multiple partitions, open the Disc Management console, by pressing "Windowskey + R" and typing "diskmgmt.msc" and clicking OK.

Find the hard drive, and check that there is only one "bar" of drive volumes on the USB drive.

Definitely only the one partition and theres no special functions on the drives.

PS: thanks for the help from all of you, I’m hopeful a solution will be found!

Sometimes changing another set of usb3 cable will solve the problem. I too encountered the same issue with the xbox not recognising my NTFS formatted hdd. Tried many method but still cannot get it to set to external capture. Until i found some video talking about a different issue about the cables of hdd. I tried and it works for me.

This only formats the HDD for usage for games and you cant use it for captures so I can’t use it for the purpose i intend to.

Saying that one of the drives was previously formatted this way and when I couldn’t get the newer drive to work i reformatted the old drive back to NTFS and that didnt work either.

Currently both drives are in the process of being reformatted yet again.

Ive been trying to get this to work for over a week now and the drives have been formated probably 10 times each in that period of time using the standard format and dozens more as quick format.

I don’t really want to buy a new HDD as if these two don’t work why would another one.....

After formatting them, if you go back into the format settings, do they still say NTFS?

Both USB 3, one is 1TB and the other is 2TB. They both meet the criteria for the intended useage.
