    How do I download games to an external hard drive on PC?


    Hi I just got a Samsun Portable SSD T7 and the xbox App on pc wouldnt find it at first so then i formatted it to NTFS. The xbox app could then locate it but when i tried to select it it would disappear as an option. I havent been able to find any posts online that could help so any assistance is welcomed, thank you!

    :)

    Not able to install games on 2TB external hard drive

    Have you used the External hard drive on any other systems? (PC maybe) if so this caused the hard drive to be incompatible with downloading games and you must reformat the external hard drive.

    Xbox App error code 0x80073d0d

    Thanks for the feedback

    So, did you downloaded the game on your external hard drive with another PC and you connected the same external device to a different PC and tried to play the game and then it was when the error appeared?

    And yes, in that case try creating a new NTFS partition on your external drive and see how it goes the installation

    External Hard Drive?

    Please tell users of the xbox one that once they allow the xbox one to format an external hard drive they will be unable to use this hard drive with there PC. I have very little interest in downloading the games i've played onto it. I mainly wanted to
    download movies from my external hard drive to my xbox one for viewing movies. Same with songs (much like on the ps3 or even the xbox 360) I am very dissapointed with the download as it does not allow me to do this and futher more i now have a useless external
    hard drive!

    Installation stopped how to fix

    I want the game to download on my external hard drive as I do not have enough space. How do I get the game to do that has I ensured that the installation location is set to my hard drive but the game keeps trying to install on my internal storage?
