Games lost on Xbox One and hard drive

Hi, sadly I believe you may well have lost those years of game saves. The 120GB hard drive you got was it a third party hard drive from somewhere such as Amazon/EBay ?

As the xbox will not now function correctly with the hard drive installed there is little you can do to recover the data on that hard drive.

This is one of the dangers of not using officially licensed products if indeed the hard drive is not a genuine Xbox hard drive, I'm very sorry you lost all your saves. It may be a good idea from now on to use cloud storage to keep your saves safe should
something like this happen again.

With the xbox one, the HDD needs to be formatted in its entirety with the Xbox One formatting and partition system, which is slightly different than Windows. The console OS won't "recognize" the hard drive as a game drive until you format it for the games
on the console.

If you intend on doing both, you need to partition the hard drive in windows, then take it to the console and format it for the games on one partition and media the other.

When you partition a hard drive, everything on it is lost, and you will need to redownload the games to it on the partition you want it to.

They are all on the download history for the profile that bought them.

check if the hard drive still worked, you will probably lost all the game you have in there but it worth it, put the hard drive on a pc a format the hard drive, try to sabe something in there and if everything is ok then plug it again on the xbox

I see how you feel Erick. My xbox 360 320GB hard drive just corrupted and i lost EVERYTHING. (i only download my games.) and all my data and things are gone. i dont have the money to buy a another one as im getting a hard drive for my xbox one and im not
going to waste anymore money for the 360.
