    External hardrive being forgotten


    This has only been happening since the preview in late Jan ish, where my Xbox one doesn't notice my extern hard driv unless I unplug and plug it back in. This happens every time I do an hard reboot which is a little annoying as it used to work fine. What's
    the issue?

    Which Xbox One model would be best 4 me?

    Currently it would be hard to find an Xbox One with a hardrive with more than 500GB, that being said you should invest in either an external hardrive or a new hardrive with at least a 1TB.

    Xbox one pre downloading games

    Hi Ive pre ordered and downloaded black ops 3 to my external hardrive, if I take my console and external hardrive round my friends will it work without corrupting the file ? As the external hardrive will be unplugged from my house to his. I did this last
    year and I had to re download the game at midnight which wasn't fun

    External hardrive being forgotten

    There's a couple possible Fixes first one I would try is moving the USB to one of the other ports then do a Hard reset. Hold the power button for 10 seconds, then unplug the power supply for about a minute. Hook it all back up and see if it works.

    The next fix would be to go into your settings from the guide, all settings, power, power mode, then Unselect the box next to “When Xbox is off, turn off storage.” That way your storage won't have to reboot.

    Hope this helps, best of luck!

    PS make sure your storage and console updates are up to date.

    Thanks for the replies. I have a WD external hardrive but I have tried using that with my Xbox and it did not even recognize it as being plugged in. ShoPastry, do you know if there is a way to make my WD hardrive compatible with xbox?
