    External drive

    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.

    GTA 5 Kicking Me Out

    Is this game stored on your Internal Storage or External hard drive? If it's on your External Hard drive kindly move it to your Internal Storage then remove the hard drive. This is to check if it's due to the external hard drive.

    Tv configuration App Not working

    Having the same issues. Could be something to do with the external hard drive maybe, not had time to troubleshoot yet though.

    Some ideas to try maybe?

    1. Make the Xbox One drive the primary drive, while the external drive is still plugged in

    2. Try with the external hard drive unplugged

    No idea if this will make a difference, but this issue only started for me since I got an external drive. Unless others are having the same issue with no external hard drive?

    Xbox unable to load games at all :(

    If you have an external hard drive could you try deleting a game and installing it directly to the console's hard drive to rule out issues with the external drive itself?
    I am not using a external drive :(

    How to move(transfer) ALL my content from the existing XBOX ONE(500Gb) to a new XBOX ONE(1TB)?

    My suggestion would be to purchase an external HDD drive and move the games from the internal drive to the external drive. The drive has to be USB 3.0.
