  1. Can an Xbox one X use my Xbox one formatted external harddrive?


    I recently got an Xbox one X, and I was wondering if my 3tb seagate harddrive I have formatted for my old Xbox one will work on my new Xbox one X console, or will it not be compatible?

    :)

    External Hard Drive for Xbox One compatible with the Xbox One X?

    I have a Seagate external hard drive formatted for my XBox One. Will that same hard drive be compatible with the XBox One X so I don't lose all my games and saved data?

    System storage issues

    Have you formatted the external drive on Xbox One?

    You must do that before you can use it.

    Hi MCU Apocalypse

    As the external hard drive worked in your old Xbox One then it will work in the Xbox One X.

    Hi ArguedBoat21861

    Outside of competitions where the Xbox One X is one of the prizes Microsoft are not giving away Xbox One X consoles. If you are very lucky you might be able to win a Xbox One X console if Microsoft or someone else is running a contest with the console as
    a prize.

    Xbox One no longer recognizing external hard drives

    Hey Trencher,

    I would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused,

    Can you check to see if the External HardDrive has a light that flashes when on and solid when it's been used by the Xbox, this will make it easier to know if it's the External HardDrive or the Xbox, once it's formatted to Xbox One plugging it into a PC
    might not let you open it without won't lreformat the External HardDrive to PC then lose your Xbox Data so I would suggest trying it in another Xbox One but it will make a sound and should have a pop up saying detected a new device process to format device,

    If it doesn't work in another Xbox One then we can safely say the External HardDrive is defected and if it's still in warranty I would suggest contacting the manufacturer to see what can be done,

    I hope this was helpful and answered your questions

    Can't sign into Game Pass PC

    I finally figured this out!

    Whenever I tried to sign in to X-Box Games Pass for PC, I got a white screen and then back to the main screen. I was never able to sign in.

    I have multiple external harddrives connected to my PC. One was corrupt. Once I formatted the corrupt drive, I was suddenly able to login (it actually automatically logged me in). For some reason, X-Box Game Pass for PC must have been getting confused by the external harddrive. It was the harddrive where I used to keep my games.
