  1. Messed up hard drive?


    My dad got me a seagate 1tb hard drive, slightly used but not for long. And as i got the series S, i didnt have much storage so he lended the hard drive to me. But, everytime i try to format it to game storage so i could download more, it doesnt show the option for it, nor show it is any other storage device in settings, But i just tried to use it on media to see if it worked. It did, but it wont stop staying for the pictures,music,videos storage purpose. all i want to know is, how do i get it to show and work for games, and how do i get it off the option for videos/Etc.?

    PS: it says there only 736kb free of the 931.5???? so maybe why but im not sure

    :)

    Messed up hard drive?

    Hi, I'm , an Independent advisor and I can surely help you.

    Don't worry we will work on this together. Can you please try to connect the hard drive to your PC and format it from there?

    Thanks!

    Sounds like your hard drive has come to the end of it's life I'm sorry to say. You could try attaching it to a different Xbox to see if maybe the issue is with the console but I'd say it is with the hard drive.

    You'll need to set up a repair for the hard drive. Register your console using the above website and you will find out if your in or out of warranty for this issue.

    Hard Drive Messing Up?

    Thanks, I've removed the external, and it works perfectly. So that was the problem. Sooner or later, I'm going to get an actual Xbox 360 hard drive, since you gotta have 'em to play Halo 2 and other original Xbox games.

    Hard drive messed up

    [quote user="DontJackDry"]Hey guys i was trying to use my transfer cable to transfer my account to my other xbox. well i formatted my hard drive to a usb[/quote]That is typically only possible if you're using a third-party transfer cable.
    i was wondering
    if there was anyway to change it back into a hard drive please let me know...
    Once the custom formatting and security data is gone, there's no sanctioned method to get them back.
