    My Xbox is not reading my external hard drive


    I have tried everything on the Microsoft website on how to fix it, last night I turned my Xbox and my xbox was not reading my external hard drive. I have looked up, and watched everything on YouTube and Microsoft on how to fix it, i tried everything. I don’t know what to do, I have all my games and apps on it.

    :)

    Hello, PaytonBeast56. Thanks for reaching out. I'm Lucas, an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user just like you. I'll be glad to help you out.

    If you connect your external hard drive to a computer or laptop, does it get read normally or not? Can you test it, please?

    Seems that my external hard drive is no longer reading for some reason. It was working fine this morning.

    Try performing a hard reset EXACTLY like this. Hold the power button on the console for 8 seconds or until the power shuts down completely.
    Unplug the power cord from the back of the console for 5 minutes.
    Plug the power cord back in and restart the console.

    Also, try using a different USB port on the console.
