can I use xbox1 as a NAS drive once I add an external drive into its usb. it does recognize it but how do I make it shareable over the local network.

You can't share the drives across the network. The drive is configured to use only with the Xbox it is attached to.

The type of format applied to the drive is incompatible with how a computer would access it.

An external USB drive is only support up to 32GB no matter what the size of the drive inserted is. How much space do you have left of the 32GB limit?

Do you have an external drive connected to the xbox at boot? My Kinect remains off if I boot the Xbox with my WD external drive plugged in. If I boot the Xbox without the external drive and reconnect it after start up, the Kinect works as normal.

Hi,

Did this hard drive ever work or was it DOA (Dead on Arrival)?

Why have you tried to connect it while the console is turn on? Is this how you originally attempted to install it?

How do you know your drive is an official MS hard drive?

Was it new or second hand?

Xbox 360 hard drives are not like USB hard drives, you should never attempt to insert a drive while the machine is on. If this is what you did, you may have damaged the drive beyond repair now. if the drive is not detected then there is nothing you can do.
These drives are not meant to be repaired by the user.

Just so you know, with the exception of a few later games on the 360, most 360 games can be installed and run either from a USB Flash drive or an external USB hard drive. The console supports external drives up to 2TB.

Hey there

1. My seller had tested it on his console before and after he gave it to me; it worked for him.

2. I originally installed it while it was turned off, and it was still undetected. I gave back the same hard drive to the seller for him to test it, and it was working for his console; so he gave it back to me.

3. My seller says that it is, but I'm unsure. It probably is because it works for his console.

4. It is new.

The drive was still working for him after I had attempted to insert it while it was on. So sorry I knew it was a mistake but I was desperate. However the HDD still works for him so that means there is likely a problem with my console, but I don't know how to
solve it.
