External hard drive no longer loading games.

Ceiling Sloth · Sep 17, 2016

I have a problem with my external hard drive not being able to load games recently. Games on my internal hard drive load up with no problem. I think the recent preview program update might be responsible for this, but I'm not sure. The hard drive itself
is fine, as well as the cord. I have had this hard drive for two years and never had a problem with it until now. The hard drive in question is a 2TB Seagate hard drive. Any help is appreciated.

Can't load games or manage games + error 0X8027025a

I have tried loading games both on the internal hard drive and external.

I've disconnected my hard drive and tried to load games that are stored internally and this hasn't fixed it.

External hard drive no longer recognised..

Hi. Connect the same way through the USB cable you have connected to your Xbox one. The PC may not be able to recognise it as it will be formatted for the Xbox, but hopefully it will give you a drive letter if you look ion my computer. It may be something
like E: but don't try to open it. Then on your desktop, search for CMD and when you find it right click and choose run as administrator. When the CMD box opens, type CHKDSK ?: /r replacing the ? With the drive letter. It may take a while but let it finish.
If your PC will not let you see the drive letter let me know. Hope this works.

Do you have an external hard drive plugged in to your xbox.

Do the games load ok from your internal drive. might be worth unplugging your external drive to make sure and load a game from internal drive.

You could try uninstalling and reinstalling the games on your external HDD if they somehow got corrupted.

If the game still refuses to load (but loads fine on the Internal), I'd completely erase and reformat the external hard drive. Then, I'd reinstall the games on the external again.

If it still acts up (or if erasure of the drive is interrupted due to an error), your external drive may unfortunately be showing signs of dying.

A kind of fix is if it’s on a external hard drive move it to the internal and it will load the game up this is for Xbox one
