    Formatting a Seagate external hard drive


    Hello

    So some games on my xbox were non transfering from my internal hard drive to my extern hard drive. I tried a hard reset and plugged the external hard drive to a new USB port. These options didn't work. I then went to the external hard drive section in storage
    and clicked format hard drive. Understandably everything on there was uninstalled. My question is will my saved game data be there when I have reinstalled the games? For example story progression or unlocked characters?

    :)

    Which external hard drive to use with Xbox 360 ?

    as per the other comments about the use of the external hard drive for the 360 I am in the update preview program which allows additional External hard drives to be used.I purchased the same Seagate 2tb external hard drive as per my xboxone but when I apply
    the format on the xbox360 as per the instructions it replies with unable to format. Would like to know what external hard drives are compatible? I no the hard drive works as tried it on the xboxone after it would not format for the 360

    thanks

    Hi there Callum

    It can depend on the game itself some are saved server side or cloud save ect. What is the size of the Segate External hard drive and is it powered from a outlet or powered by console?.

    So powered by the console and how full was the hard drive before it started not being detected and have you tried a usb 3.0 self powered by outlet enclosure for the hard drive instead in case its the enclose failing or the cable itself?
