    Losing external hard drive.


    Whenever I shut my Xbox down and start it up later it doesn't recognize my external hard drive. Change ports in the back and then it works. Then shut it down and the same thing happens. Been doing this since the last preview update. I'm thinking its software
    but has anyone else had this happening to them?

    :)

    My son Xbox one External hard drive won't connect to Xbox one one what do I do and if not how do I get his save game off it

    Unfortunately, if your child's external hard drive is not being recognized by the console, you will need to format it or format it using the PC or notebook, but by doing so you will lose all the saved games you have on the external hard drive.

    Hi Nnooo! Good question. Let me ask, do you have Sunset Overdrive on Disc? If so, you do have to have the disc inserted in your friend's drive to be able to verify ownership and play it. If it's digital, however, I'm not too sure what could be causing this
    issue... signing in is supposed to be all that's necessary to verify ownership of digital content. Curious....
