Insider Partition Files (Xbox One X)

[quote user="epiXstatic"]

Is it possible? To create two partitions on an external drive and use just one partition for the xbox360. And the other for non Xbox file storage? [/quote]

I've had a 1TB External HDD Partitioned for a deticated 16GB Xbox partition & when the Xbox Console configured it, the other partitions were no longer recognised in Windows & to get it to recognise, you have to format the drive again in Windows for FAT32...
So how is the answer, Yes..?? or are you using a program, to look at your Xbox files on your computer..??

Hello Sniparz!

Sorry this issue is affecting your xbox time. As far as I know, the entire drive needs to be formatted to the Xbox One's FAT32 file type. When you are using this drive on a home computer, I'm assuming your reformatting the drive back to Window's file type
to place a video on the drive, or perhaps creating a partition.

Long story short, the only way to play this media is to have it dropped into a partition on the drive and have another partition dedicated to the Xbox One. I believe the minimum limit is 32 GB.

i also tried partitioning the drive to (2) 2 tb partitions and i still had no files after the first two tb. The second partition said “no files found” in all folders

Hi and thanks for reaching Microsoft Xbox gamer's community. My name is Josef.

I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft Xbox user like you.

Hope you're doing great today mate

That's odd, Could you try create a new partition and then try install one of those game on the new partition?

Also, it's good to change where new apps are going to be installed inside settings app to that new partition.

Let me know how it goes

Have you tried different USB Ports?

I've been using the port on the front of XBox One X but according to the specs they are all the same type of USB 3.0 ports. I will give it another try this evening when I get home with one of the rear ports. I wish the guy that said he had a Seagate drive
working past 2Tb would post his drive configuration. That would go a long way at helping.

I can for sure rule these out.. (3 Terabyte WD Essentials external Hard Drive). Single partition. 1080p, 4K HDR, MKV, MP4 and HEVC x264 and x265 files on drive...

--- NTFS w/ GUID Partition Table format = Folders & Files listable past 2Tb but files in folders will not open. Only pre-2Tb files will open.

--- exFAT w/ 4K Sector Configuration = Folders listable past 2Tb but files in folders will not open
