    External HDD Not Being Recognized?


    I just finished moving and I just set up all my consoles but for some reason my External HDD is not being recognized? I’ve tried power cycle. Every form of plugging out and in, turning on and off. Nothing. It works though. I tried plugging it into my laptop and trouble shooting and it works. My laptop says that it’s functioning perfectly fine. But once I set every up and did the update I noticed it wasn’t being recognized. I’ve come to the conclusion that this is an Xbox issue possibly with the newest build because it isn’t being recognized through any of the USB ports and I’ve tried a different USB cable with still no luck. Help?

    External HDD not recognized

    Hey there DADDI05280,

    Have you made sure that the drive functions properly? I would connect it to a PC and run WD Data Lifeguard Diagnostic tool to rule out faulty drive problems. Check if the drive passes both the quick and the extended tests. Here's a link to the tool:

    If everything is OK with the drive I'd contact MS's support and see what the guys can say about this. :)

    External HDD not recognized

    Hey there. I have the same brand, so I think it will work eventually. Try holding the Xbox logo on the console until it shuts down, unplug the power cord and the hard drive and leave it for 5 minutes. After that, plug the power in, but leave the drive unplugged
    and boot it up. Once it's fully booted, try plugging the drive in again
