    Hard drive not being read anymore


    I have been using a portable hard drive for all my games, it used to work and now all of a sudden the Xbox stopped reading it. Any ideas on why it stopped or how to get it to work right again?

    :)

    Hey Darktonyll!

    Sorry to hear you're having storage problems. Please try powering off your console completely by holding down the power button for 10 seconds (or until the Xbox One powers off) and then unplug the HDD. Wait about 30 seconds and then power it back on and
    try re-connecting the HDD.

    If you're still having trouble, please create a new thread so we can best help you out. This particular thread is a bit older. Thanks!

    I have the same issue with my MyBook 4 tb. Worked fine before update. Now my xbox sees' the drive but will not install anything to it. talked to support and they had me factory reset. That did nothing and now I have to install everything again. Hopefully
    they find something out soon.

    Hey Bad Seed 760! Are you able to test the hard drive on a computer to make sure it is still functioning? Post back and let me know!

    Borderlands 2, disc unrreadable

    I installed Borderlands 2 and all the DLC, including Mechromancer content to the hard drive. It reads the disc when starting up the game but beyond that, all content is being read from the hard drive.

    Good luck!
