    Hard drive detected but no games show?


    I just got a new xbox one x and connected the hard drive. Its showing at detected but when i go to games and apps there isnt anything. I shouldnt need to install anything or the internet? Nothing corrupted either. Any idea? Thanks.

    You have too install games onto the connected hardrive first for them too be able too be seen or played. First set up the harddrive so it is connected too your xbox then download any game you want onto your xbox harddrive and once it is download if you
    select it in the options and menus then you should be able too see the downloaded games on your harddrive. You can also transfer data between your xbox and your external harddrive so that you have games stored on your harddrive rather than your xbox. Hope
    this helps you and good luck.

    Was it a brand new HDD? If it was a brand new harddrive there are normally no games on it. If you set it up that the harddrive is used for games and apps than it should work fine. You could test it by copy a game from the internal hdd to the external hdd.

    If it was a used HDD and worked on your Xbox One before it should be an error. In that case a power cycle should maybe fix the issue.

    Sorry should have explained the hard drive has games as it was used on my old xbox. It recognises its installed and detected but doesnt show any of the games.

    No, the hard drive isnt new. It had loads of games from my old xbox its just a new xbox.

    It worked perfectly fine and is recognised but nothing shows up if i go to the storage option and view contents. It still recognises there is content on the hard drive in terms of space taken but nothing in games and apps
