External drive

I'm trying to get my xbox to read my external Seagate as media instead of games and apps, how do you reverse the formatting?

if adverts for "compatible" external hard drives are any indication it would seem the external storage patch should be coming some time soon although I note it wont be in the first patch released.

Do you have a Windows PC? The drive will not show up in File Explorer when you hook it up to your PC, but it will show up in Disk Management, where you can format it back to NTFS. Just make sure you format the correct drive!

I'm sure you can do this with other operating systems as well, but I don't know the steps for that.
