  1. Do MacBook airs properly format external hard drives to NTFS?


    I bought an external hard drive for game clip storage on my Xbox series X. It is USB 3.0 and I tried formatting it to Microsoft NTFS on my MacBook Air. Does the disc have to be formatted on a Windows pc for it to work properly? I currently can’t set my drive as a capture location even after formatting it.

    Hi kulajw,

    Thanks for posting, has this hard drive been used to store Xbox One games before? You may want to make sure the filesystem is set up properly and a format has been completed on the hard drive before transferring games. Here's how to do so:

    Ntfs format is required for external hard disk or USB drive.

    Saving on different harddrive?

    Your hard drive must be properly formatted to use GamePass games

    Is your F drive a physical hard drive inside your computer, formatted with NTFS?

    You need to check if your external hard drive is formatted to NTFS standard. If you are not using this pattern, you will need to format the hard drive and select NTFS.
