  1. External hardrive problem


    Hi im having a strange problem. I have got a seagate 2tb hardrive and for somebreason my xbox has stopped picking it up. But here where it gets confusing. When i got onto my games list the games on my external aint showing has installed. But if i go to my
    pins where i have got the divison pinned (division is saved on external) i press A on it and it will still play the game.

    So in short games on hardrive not showing has installed but i can still play them just unable to save new stuff or delete stuff off the hardrive. Sorry if i have confused you

    :)

  2. 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

    So just to be sure.

    I can use any external hardrive with the Xbox One. As in if I went and got like a 2TB external hardrive I can use that for my digital game downloads.

    External hardrive problem

    Hi silly question when you go into my games and apps on the top left just above the games there is a small box that allows you to choose to either display content stored on the internal / external hard drive or both, has this changed to the internal driver?

  5. Wish that was it but no. Its not even showing up in the storage settings . Its just strang that if i got on a game that i know is installed on my external and go manage game, it comes up with ready to install. But if i got onto the game hub for that game
    i can still launch it and play from there. I can also play them if they are pinned onto the main page.

    Is it a USB 3.0 drive? The system will usually notice a 2.0 drive but not actually allow you to do anything with it.
