    Formating Hard Drive


    My console just froze up and I restarted it, after that it asked me to download system update but when I pressed accept it said my hd doesn't have enough space. Well I check my storage and it says that I need to format my hd. Well after a while I do it because
    I hate to loose all my games and saves from hd. Then I try to play titanfall, it downloads update fine and all but then suddenly it says my disc is unclean/scratched eventhough its clean as a mirror.

    I restart my xbox and it again ask for system update and again it says my hd doesn't have enough space. so I try again to format it but now it "formats" it but I still get unformate info in it. ofc I know now that my hd is broken BUT it is only 2 years old
    HD damn it! I need to spend again around 50€ to get another HD because your hardware is so weak.

    But well if somebody has any hints how I might save this "old" hd I am willing to hear it.

    :)

    Formating your hard drive

    No, formatting the hard drive deletes everything from it.

    Next time you can back up your important game saves to a USB flash drive.

    Also by the action he has done, he doesn't appear as a "friend" to me.

    Formatting Hard Drive

    The Format Hard Drive function is also there so that you can format external USB 3.0 HDD's with the appropriate Xbox partition for saving games etc. By default, a new external HDD would come with a FAT or NTFS partition which cannot be used for installing
    Xbox games. A NTFS partitioned external hard drive can be used however for extended Game DVR clips.

    Formatting Hard Drive

    Hi,

    Game updates can only be downloaded on to the drive the game is installed to, regardless of what drive is now default for installing or downloading new content. So, if you had have a game on the internal drive, it needs an update but you
    don't have enough space, you would need to do one of the following.

    1. Move the game to the external drive with the free space.

    2. Or delete content on the drive where the game is located to allow the game to be updated.

    This should prevent any confusion in the future.
