    External hard drive was working now its not...


    So i have had a seagate 1Tb external hard drive plugged into my xbox for a while now and it has worked fine most of my games are on it and yea. So yesterday i went to install a new game and my xbox was and still isn't detecting the storage space on the HD
    but heres the thing i can still play the games that are on the HD but if i go to manage them or anything it just shows the save data so i cannot delete anything to make space not that i need to cause there's still 500+ gbs left on the external hard drive.
    So whats up doc?

    :)

    Xbox 360 slim corrupting files?

    Hi,

    Simple answer, your hard drive is failing. Fix? Buy a new hard drive or use an external hard drive. The Xbox 360 supports external hard drives up to 2 TB.

    Hard drives die and before they do, they generally exhibit, disk read errors, corrupted files none working games. Hard disk drives are mechanical with moving parts, its it not if they fail its a matter of when.

    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

    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.
