    External hard drive not working


    So I got a 4 TB Seagate external hard drive for Christmas that isn't working the way it should on the Xbox one. At first I only had the option to "play all" even though nothing was in it I could not put any games on it. Then Xbox support in Twitter told
    me to format the drive. After doing so the Xbox one just tells me I dont have permission to use my hard drive. Now what? Twitter support has abandon me about 4 times now and it's beggining to get frustrating.

    :)

  3. 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!

    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

    I do not have an external hard drive, is there something I can do to make it work involving an external hard drive?

    Xbox one game storage

    It wouldn't work as an external hard drive. You would need an actual external hard drive attached to the console for extra storage.

    My son Xbox one External hard drive won't connect to Xbox one one what do I do and if not how do I get his save game off it

    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?

    Unplayable

    The Xbox hard drive is garbage, load everything on an external hard drive and your problems solved. I had my hard drive 50% full then it wouldn't do anything. Now with every single thing on an external is actually works correctly the way it should work.
