    Console freezes with external HD attached


    I have a 1tb western digital my passport ultra external hard drive. At random times the console will freeze when opening the store, launching apps and singing in. If I unplug the external drive the console will unfreeze and open the app, store, etc....
    The hard drive works fine on a pc. Reformatting the drive seems to correct the problem for a few days but the freezing always returns. It may just be a bad drive but I wanted to submit this issue in case its an Xbox OS bug.

    :)

    Error Awakening DLC

    I changed my game and DLC from my console hd to a external HD and now I can't install the dlc again.

    Neither in console HD nor external

    Xbox One S - loud buzzing from TV then console turns off

    I have a couple of Xbox One S's. One of them - it seems when there's alot of on screen activity (in any game) the TV seems to emit loud buzzing, the game freezes, then the console does a hard shut down. I can watch streaming videos all day long on that
    device with no problems, but Destiny 2, Fallout '76, Hand of Fate 2, Fortnite - anytime there's alot of on screen activity, it freezes.

    I've searched for solutions - I don't think it's uninstall/reinstall since it affects any game. I've cleared the persistent storage (I don't think that should have been an issue, anyway, since I never watch Blu-ray movies). So far, nothing has helped.

    I do have a 1gb external hd attached, but it was doing this prior to me getting the external drive.

    Thanks in advance.

    xbox originals

    its an external or internal attachment you must buy depending on your model

    if it is the old arcade units it an external hd (you need an offical xbox one) or the internal 250 gig hd s for the 4 gig xbox s units

    HELP!!! Tranferring Saved Games and Profiles from old XBOX HDD to new Elite system - 4G

    so you are attaching the old HD connected to the FRONT of the console and the NEW HD attached to the top of the ELITE correct?

    HELP!!! Tranferring Saved Games and Profiles from old XBOX HDD to new Elite system - 4G

    the 2nd option

    as attaching your hd to his front panel will wipe his hd and replace it with yours

    so attach your hd to his console

    How do I upload games from my old console to my new console

    Just attach an external hdd and copy them over

    Now if it's a digital only console like series s or Xbox one s digital then only digital games will work

    Network transfer can take awhile a HD transfer is faster

    And doesn't require both consoles to be connected to a tv

    Memory Storage Problem

    this is because you didn't follow the instructions

    the transfer cable only goes one way

    source to new hd

    the 120gig HD must be attached to the console

    the 60gig must be attached to the transfer cable

    it only goes smaller to bigger

    attaching the 120 gig hd to the transfer cable the console will see that the intended HD is smaller then the 120

    so it won't activate the transfer software

    any attempt to procceed would format it



    the hd ontop of the console must always be the destination drive at all times for transfer cable to work
