    Download from PC to Hard drive?


    Hey All,

    I live on a military base, and the internet at my house is horrific. However, the internet at my work office is much, much better. Before I attempt anything stupid, I wanted to ask the community:

    Would I be able to successfully download an xbox one game onto an external hard drive from my PC browser, and then simply plug 'n' play (or plug 'n' install) the external hard drive into my xbox one back at the house? If that won't work, can anybody suggest
    a workaround for downloading and installing games when the internet your console is connected to is highly unreliable?

    Thanks in advance!

    :)

    Absolutely! It appears you don't haven't adjusted the "Turn Off After..." setting.

    To do this:

    1) Double tap your Home button to bring up the Guide.

    2) Scroll down to Settings. Select All Settings.

    3) Select Power. Under Turn off or restart, you will see "Turn Off After" - This allows you to set your console to turn off automatically when not being used. Your options are 1 hour of inactivity, 6 hours of inactivity or Don't turn off automatically. Select
    the "Don't turn off automatically" and that will keep your console on even when you are inactive for extended periods of time.

    ln that case, is there any way for me to prevent the xbox from shutting down or timing out on the download? The internet works at my house on base, but it's very, very slow. It would probably take 12-24 hours to download a game, if not more. I don't mind
    just starting the process and letting it run, but I can't babysit the thing for that stretch of time to make sure it doesn't shut off.

    The website will only allow you to queue a download. There is no way to directly download any games or content from the website. Sorry, I don't have any suggestions about the connection.

    download xbox games via a pc

    I don't think that will work. Connected to a PC, you could only download PC games. They won't download as "XBOX" games.

    For your scenario, you'd have to bring his XBOX to your house and connect it to the internet. Then connect the hard drive to the XBOX and download directly to the hard drive, from the XBOX interface.

    External hard drive.

    Try plugging the hard drive into a PC, and download the drive tools from the manufacturers website to check if there are any errors on the drive and maybe be able to repair them. If you are successful, then you should be able to plug the hard drive back
    in the Xbox and reformat it for Xbox use, you will have to download the games to the hard drive again, but at least you should have a working hard drive.

    Failing offline update during veryfying stage

    I will try re-downloading when home thank you, if it fails, what do you mean by a hard drive repair? A new hard drive? Or to remove and format hard drive direct from a pc? Thank you,

    External hard drive missing after update

    Try plugging your hard drive into your PC to make sure it is recognized on there as well. If not, then download the hard drive tools from the manufacturer website to check to see if the hard drive has any issues which the tools may be able to fix.
