    External Hard Drive endless on/off loop


    When the console has auto updates set to on the external drive will boot up and turn off every 2-3 seconds endlessly, regardless of the "turn external drive off" setting being on or off. I can turn auto updates off but then the drive just stays on all the
    time...

    This seems very bad for my external drive, and I've seen a few reddit posts about this very issue with zero responses or hope of solutions.

    :)

    External Storage Problem

    Hi,

    Since this morning, I have a big problem on my Xbox. When nothing plug on it, everything's fine but when I plugged my External Hard Drive, the console reboot, freeze on the Xbox green screen during the animation, reboot again and going for an infinite loop.
    If I start the console with the External Hard Drive plugged, it makes the same things.

    Does someone know what happened please ?

    Endless Loop?

    I tried to download CoD: Waw and everytime I get to 80% it stops a moment and begins again from 0%.

    What should I do?

    Marvel heroes omega will not delete. It's been forever!

    If you have an external hard drive transfer the game over, then delete it off of the external drive.

    How to make external hard drive the main download drive?

    okay instant on mode is already off because that's your way to get it to work with external hard drive it's an energy mode right now. And I have to keep the x box on in order for it to download to that hard drive. So you're saying leave the instant on mode
    off and keep it on energy mode, and try to download to the internal hard drive? if it works with the external hard drive then it should work with the internal hard drive doing it that way shouldn't it? Because it does work with the external hard drive with
    it on energy mode
