    How do I have my game downloaded onto a different hard drive


    So I got Xbox ultimate game pass and I decided to download Forza 5 but I don't have enough space on my main PC so I decided to get it downloaded on my hard drive with enough space. when I search how to, I go to game install options and switch it to my hard drive but when I try to download the game it switches back to my main PC and says I don't have enough space each time. I have already tried this forum: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us...n/f55873ad-7dca-4b6b-bfd0-809315e6812f?page=1 but it didn't work.

    How do I have my game downloaded onto a different hard drive

    Thank you for contact us! I'm Anderson, an Independent Consultant and a Microsoft user like you.

    good afternoon

    Firstly, you need to have space on the main drive, even if you are not going to install it there, the app downloads and extracts the entire game on the main drive and then installs it on another drive.

    then you need to authorize this installation in windows settings, in applications, in storage.

    Console Freeze

    Thank you for the response. I have tried everything the support team has suggested short of reformatting my hard drive (I really don't want to loose any game info). Another question I have is if I download the game onto my hard drive and get different
    issues (like the game itself freezes/wont load) do you think that is more of a game problem, system problem or hard drive problem??

    Anyone Seeing Crash - Disc Error w/ Digital Download Copy

    It usually means corruption or a bad sector on your hard drive.

    Best thing to do is delete the game off your hard drive then switch console off then on again.

    Download a couple of game demos before downloading cod again. This should force the downloaded file to go onto a different physical part of the hard drive.

    Arcade Game Exits to Lobby and Will Not Let Me Play

    Ok, do you have a USB flash drive that you could download the game onto at all ?

    If it works from the flash drive then we need to take a look at why it doesn't from the hard drive, just out of curiosity how much free space do you have on the hard drive?
