    How to set up an external hard drive to store games!


    Hello! I got a 8T hard drive with a USB 3.0 cord and i hooked it up to my xbox one and it notices it but when i go to storage management it states that the external hard drive only stores screenshots, videos, etc but not games! I formatted it and no hidden partisans and still cant set it for my games so anyone have any ideas on how to set the hard drive that i am missing? Thank you for your time.

    :)

    Hope you're doing great today despite this Guyvergt

    I found a thread that maybe can help you (exist the possibility that you have a hidden EFI partition created for your drive)

    Need help and advise

    Get yourself an external hard drive and either move your games to that or set it up so any future game installs is stored on the drive.

    Xbox game Pass app

    So I just logged into my app to see if mine was pulling the 1 TB that comes standard on my Console. When I set up my external hard drive, I set it to be the main source for all my games to save. looking at the app under console settings it is saying 820GB
    of 2TB. So it is pulling my external hard drive. I am assuming it is how you have your external hard drive set up to save.

    Xbox installing games to both internal and external drives

    Hiya bb buster,

    When you originally set up your external hard drive and elected to use it to store games, did you by chance select Copy instead of Move? If so, that is why you have a game file on the internal and external drives.

    GTA 5 Kicking Me Out

    Is this game stored on your Internal Storage or External hard drive? If it's on your External Hard drive kindly move it to your Internal Storage then remove the hard drive. This is to check if it's due to the external hard drive.
