    external hard drive not recognize


    I have use the hd with the xbox one no problems. It was working with xbox x for awhile, but recently stopped. I have checked all connections, basically went through the troubleshooting steps. External hard drive is still not showing up. The hard drive
    connects just using usb port and powered the same way. I can see and hear the external hd turn on, but after that nothing.

    :)

    Xbox One will not recognize second external hard drive

    Hello All:

    I have an xbox one. I have been using two external hard drives with it. Recently the xbox stopped recognizing that the second hard drive was connected. I figured the hard drive quit working, so I purchase a new 4tb Seagate Xbox External Hard Drive to
    use. I plugged it in and the xbox did not recognize it either. I have done hard reboots, switch usb ports, switch cables, etc... and nothing that I do gets the xbox to recognize either the original second external hard drive that was working perfectly or
    the new second external hard drive. Even when I remove the first external hard drive, and hard reboot, the xbox will still not recognize the either the new external hard drive or the drive that had worked well in the past as a second external hard drive.
    I figure something is wrong with my xbox one. Please advise what I should do.

    Thank you!

    external hard drive on xbox360?

    You can use an external hard drive, but the Xbox will only recognize 32 GB of the drive.

    external hard drive not recognize

    Try formatting the hard drive on a PC, then plug it back in the Xbox, see if it recognizes it. If it does, then you will have to re-download your content back on it. It could be a sign that your hard drive could be breaking down.

    Requires a hard drive.

    You have to have an external hard drive plug in. It does not have to be 360 just reformat it. External hard drives that plug in the USB are not recognized as a hard drive for the 360.

    Perhaps your child's external hard drive is not working. Is your child's external hard drive recognized by the Xbox One? Does it turn on any lights?
