    Hello NovelChimp31,

    Thank you for your post. I understand you are experiencing an issue with your external hard drive. Check out this page for some useful tips:

    Troubleshoot External Storage - Xbox One    . If it is not detected on either the Xbox One or a Windows 10 PC, the hard drive may be corrupted. Please contact the manufacturer of the hard drive for information on it's warranty. Ultimately, the external hard
    drive may need to be replaced.

    I hope this information helps.

    Oh, thank you for the additional information. Do you have an external hard drive plugged into your console?

    A corrupted hard drive may cause issues as well.
