External Hard Drives: De-Formatting From Xbox One

I am going to tell you how to remove the formatting on a External Hard Drive from a Xbox One.

Requirements:

Xbox 360

1. Insert external hard drive into Xbox 360

2. Go into System

3. Go into Storage

4. Press 'Y' on External Hard Drive (Will be called "unformatted device")

5. Click on Format

6. The External Hard Drive will now contain the Xbox 360's formatting.

7. If you do not want the Xbox 360's formatting on the External Hard Drive, all you need to do is format the External Hard Drive on a computer. Otherwise, if you don't care that the Xbox 360's formatting is on the External Hard Drive, then ignore this step.

Hope This Helped Anyone Who Did Not Know How To Remove An Xbox One's Formatting From An External Hard Drive!

HDD Question

If it's an XBOX 360 HDD that mounts inside a 360 S or clips on to the top/side of an original 360, well... you've just ruined the drive by formatting it using a PC.

If it's an external USB HDD you're using to install a 16GB USB Memory Unit, it's fine.

Is this a USB stick or an actual Xbox 360 memory unit (used in the first-gen Xbox 360 consoles)?

Yep, but it has to be formatted to FAT32, usually formatted to NTFS by default. You can then format up to 16Gb of that to use as an Xbox Memory Unit.

[/quote]if he already has 2 external HDD then he can format both for the 360 as it can use 2x16GB external memory

How do you add a new external hard drive and format it to the Xbox One? We ran out of memory.

If you format it you'll lose data on that drive. Besides. You can only use 16GBs on an external memory source such as a usb flashdrive or external HDD so i dont see how you backed up your xbox HDD unless you have a 4GB internal memory xbox
