External Hard Drive not showing on Xbox 360

I tried to look through the forums to find a solution. I have two Western Digital external hard drives. One is an 1TB 2.0 and another is 2TB 3.0. The 3.0 isn't working with the xbox. All I have on there is my music and my movies. I'm going to try out the
USB part to format it but if that doesn't work I don't know what else to do. Anyone else having issues with 3.0 hard drives?

External Hard Drives: De-Formatting From Xbox One

I am going to tell you how to remove the formatting on a External Hard Drive from a Xbox One.

Requirements:

Xbox 360

1. Insert external hard drive into Xbox 360

2. Go into System

3. Go into Storage

4. Press 'Y' on External Hard Drive (Will be called "unformatted device")

5. Click on Format

6. The External Hard Drive will now contain the Xbox 360's formatting.

7. If you do not want the Xbox 360's formatting on the External Hard Drive, all you need to do is format the External Hard Drive on a computer. Otherwise, if you don't care that the Xbox 360's formatting is on the External Hard Drive, then ignore this step.

Hope This Helped Anyone Who Did Not Know How To Remove An Xbox One's Formatting From An External Hard Drive!

 

XBox 360 game required hard drive issue

Some games do require an Xbox hard drive due to the system files on the drives. External hard drives will not work. They require an official MS Xbox 360 hard drive.

 

Chances are your HD is formatted NTFS. In order for your Xbox to see it, it has to be Formated Fat32.

For Details see: www.xbox.com/.../storage

If the above line stumps you, converting from NTFS to Fat32 could cause data loss. It would be easier for you to buy a new HD plug it in to your PC and format it fat32.
