Hiya. All of a sudden my XBox One S refuses to accept my USB memory stick for external...

Hello Phil, my name is zahir, a independent advisor

Have you done the new dashboard update?

I have noticed a bug where some users are having this issue.

There is no fix as of yet. What is the only option i found for me, is to reformat the drive on pc, use exfat system.

Regards
Zahir

the 4gig xbox s unit is not a HD

it is flash memory

for games that require hds that will not be accepted

using a external hd is kinda a waste due to the 16gig limitation USB drives will be a more useful device

only 250-320gig xbox s hds can be used as a HD on the xbox s units

If your game saves are on the old style of memory stick, and you would get one of the "slim" xboxes, you have no way of transferring stuff over, since your console is RROD. I would suggest in that case to see if one of your friends is willing to help out
that has one of the older style xboxes. You would need the memory stick and a USB memory stick, and then on your friend's xbox just transfer the game saves (and profile) over to the USB memory stick. The USB memory stick should be 1GB or bigger, I think.

If you already have it on a USB memory stick, just move it to your new XBOX when you get one.

If you are getting another old style xbox, just put the memory stick or USB memory stick you have into the new one.



you could always sell your red ringed xbox on ebay or something for parts.

Actually you can format a micro USB memory stick for the xbox and then transfer it to the memory stick I do this for most of my data so that it's easier to move from one console to another

I am having to re download 100's of gig's or data everyday and are unable to play my games because of this! The xbox one says don't use usb sticks but then isn't compatible with external hdd's?!
