External HDD Question

Hello guys. Recently my Kinect keeps rebooting itself and I looked online for solutions and the only one I found was doing the factory default reset thing. Since I have lots of games on my system and most of them being digital, they will all be deleted and
I'll have to re-download them again but the thing is my internet has pretty low data cap so there's another problem.

My questions, if I move my games and apps on an external HDD and then do the factory reset thing, will I be able to play them after plugging the hdd to my xbox?

:)

 

External Hdd question

The Xbox One doesn't have a rip CD function. Instead, you rip it using PC/Mac and put it on storage media or OneDrive and pull it from there. As you are on Mac using OneDrive would probably be the easiest due to HDD/Storage format differences.

NTFS can be read by PC and Xbox One along with FAT and FAT32. The Mac doesn't use that format but maybe there are tools which allow you to read/write to a HDD using that format?

If not, you could stream from your Mac to your Xbox One using things like Plex.

Hopefully Microsoft allow us to create partitions in the near future

 

You can absolutely do that. I had to do an advance exchange, so I put all my stuff on my external HDD so it would save time instead of re-downloading everything for my replacement console. The only thing is when you play an app or game for the first time,
it take an extra 10 seconds to start, stating that it is getting the game ready. After that, it starts up everything normally. I hope that made sense. Also, it will load your saved games from the cloud, which take an extra few seconds. Hope this helped!!!

 

My kinect started to do this so try this solution, it worked for me. I simply powered off the console, unplugged the kinect, unplugged the power supply lead, waited around 1 minute so that all the power had fully discharged from the power supply and connected
everything back up, powered it up and now it works as normal.
