  1. Connect a hard drive


    I purchased a hard drive for my macbook and then switched that hard drive over to my xbox one. I plugged it in and it supports usb 3.0 and it uses a usb c wire. I went onto the storage section into the settings and the hard drive is not showing up. I formatted
    it on my macbook and its completly empty but its still not showing up. The wire i used for it does works with my playstation but not my xbox. Please help because i have 80GB left in my internal hard-drive and im trying to install a warzone update.

    :)

    It could be a problem with the Hard Drive itself or a problem with the internal connection to the hard drive. Try removing the hard drive and putting it back in and make sure it's seated properly. If that doesn't work, then remove the hard drive and use
    a USB Flash Drive. If it works with that then it's possible that your hard drive or hard drive connection is bad.

    This may actually be a problem with connecting to the internal hard drive, this is something I'd encountered on the Xbox 360 a few times and it was due to a loose connection to the hard drive or it could also be due to a failed hard drive which would require
    replacement. If possible take your system to a local Microsoft store and have them check the hard drive connection and test the hard drive functionality.

    Connect a hard drive

    Hello CrazyGamerHere3,

    Thank you for your post. I understand you are experiencing an issue with hard drive detection on your Xbox One. From your post it seems that you've formatted the hard drive on an OS X device and not Windows 10. Please try to format your hard drive to the
    NTFS File System for it to be detected on your Xbox One. For more, please visit this page:

    I hope this information helps.

    xbox not loading at all with hard drive in - 360 slim 250gb

    I'm curious as to how you put your profile onto the hard drive. If you have connected the hard drive to your PC to do that it could well be the data got corrupted on the hard drive. It's really not a good idea to connect an xbox hard drive to a PC at all.

    Have you got a hard drive connected to your console? Try removing it and then sign in without the hard drive connected and see what happens!
