Hi.powersupply broke on xbox one.can i take out harddrive and copy games directly to series...

thank you..was hoping to skip the big downloads.

But also if i use this drive as a usb input wont i be able to play the games directly from this drive if its in as an usb as you can also download games to an external drive

Hello, first it's a pleasure to be able to help you today.

My name is welcome to the community.

Hello Wikus, as I understand it, you have two consoles and the Xbox One does not turn on and you want to pass the data from the HD to your Series X.

If so, it's not advisable because you'll need to open Series X for that.

If both consoles are yours, just put your account on your Series X and download the games as normal.

-note- i am unable to transfer my old harddrive data directly to a flashdrive because i do no have the old xbox anymore (it broke)

will plugging a 16gb flashdrive in work?

The Xbox 360 harddrive is formatted in a special way and has a specific security sector on it that "proves" that it's a real 360 harddrive.

The Xbox 360 harddrive can't be used on a PC directly, so if your friend formatted or re-partitioned the drive to use in his laptop, the harddrive is now unusable for the 360, as the security sector was probably also deleted.

You should now ask your "friend" to buy you a new harddrive, if he broke it.

nope. game-only on xbox harddrive, and game-only-copy on external drive.
