    Issues after using external HD


    I recently started using a 1 tb external harddrive, and almost immediatley after started having dashboard, internet connection, and even non responding. If I unplug my external hd, all these issues go away. The harddrive seems to be working fine, storing
    and playing games. It is extremely strange for these issues to be happening. I believe half of the issue may be that when the xbox goes in standby, it may need to restart the external hd? But the connection issues have to be the strangest. My friends list
    will appear, but on the right bar it will say connect to the internet. If I unplug it, it will immediatley connect and show the xbox store/ads. Sometimes it will all work fine. But it has been quite annoying. Sorry for the lengthy post. But help would be appreciated!

    :)

    External HD issues

    How much HDD space you have you have on your external hard drive?

    Destiny for Xbox 360 now requires as of September 2016, 30 GB of free space as explained in the description

    here.

    And as a side note, Xbox Live Gold is required to play Destiny and its expansions. The expansions are also required to experience Destiny as well now too.

    External HD issues

    I have attached an external HD. I can see it in system settings. I have formatted it. However whenever I try to play Destiny, I get the error message "You must have an Xbox 360 Hard Drive in order to play Destiny." Don't know what else to do.

    Issues after using external HD

    Hi MINDxTRlCKS,

    Sorry you're having issues with your Xbox. A couple of suggestions I could offer. 1. As a work around if these seem to be related to stand by, you can disable the instant on mode, and switch it to energy saving mode.

    Click here     to see the process for changing your power settings. 2. If that doesn't help, or you don't wish to move away from the instant on, then you can try moving your games from your external drive, to your internal drive. After doing that, put the external
    drive in a Windows machine, and format it NTFS. After doing that, you can put it back in the Xbox and set it up as a new drive.

    Hope this helps!

    External hd issue

    The only solution to make the external harddisk work again is connect it to a pc and delete it or simply destroy the partition. The next time you connect it to the XBox One it suddenly appears and the menu asks how it should be formatted.

    A very big shame on Microsoft for that stupid coders on the XBox Security

    Using external HD through network issue

    Yes 16gb limit is for USB storage.

    Some content is not displayed b/c it is not comparable with the xbox.

    The items might not have the correct share level, pending how the service is running.

    This happens with DNLA all the time, Some items I can move to my xbox to play with the USB, but will not be seen by the console over the network.

    Installation stopped, Try installing again. Continuing issues.

    Hi Vegito Chan,

    I see you mention that this was an issue prior to having the external HD but it continues still.

    -What is the download/upload speed (according to your Xbox One) not according to the plan under the ISP?

    -Does the external HD that you're using also have a power cable that plugs into the wall?

    -What are the power settings on the external HD?

    -Have you tested this by making the internal HD primary to see if this still occurs?

    -Are you wired or wirelessly connected to your router/modem?
