    I want to download a game off of the Xbox app, MFS, and it tells me "This location isn't setup for installing games.". So when I do go into Storage / Where content is saved and I set it to my d Drive, I get the error code 0x80070005. I've tried numerous online solutions but none helped. My error code is above.

    Thank you Matt
    Just to confirm, did you used this drive to install games on a different PC before?
    Or this is the first time that you try to use this drive with your PC?

    Hope you're doing great today despite this Matt0723

    Please double check if the desired drive is already formatted as NTFS.
    For this open file explorer > my computer > right click on the drive > properties > next to file system

    If everything looks good, please double check if you have at least one of these folders in your drive
    WindowsApps, WpSystem, XboxGames

    I know I downloaded Xbox games before on this drive, on this current PC. I am unaware how to completely wipe all of the xbox game files though, if its even possible. But Yes I do remember downloading some games on my d drive, just never on another PC. Im guessing the easy way out is a drive wipe?

    In my windows apps, I have folders that when I open them I see some files to MFS or other xbox app games. The thing is they are permission locked. Whenever I try to put myself as the owner of the folder, well I just cant because SYSTEM is greyed out and it wont let me change it at all.

    I am positive this is the source of my problem, but I have no luck trying to delete it. I tried force deleting them using CMD but no luck.

    Thanks for the extra information, before considering a drive formatting and to isolate the problem a bit more, let’s try something a bit more different.

    Try creating a new NTFS partition using some of the free space in your drive

    After that go to windows settings > system > storage > advance storage options (this only if you’re on Windows 11) > where new content is saved
    Under apps select this new partition / drive

    Restart the PC and give it a new try
