    My Xbox One won't recognize my external hard drive?


    Hello all.

    I have run out of room on my Xbox One internal hard drive, so I am re-purposing an old external hard drive to increase my storage. Unfortunately, when I plug the hard drive into the Xbox One it is not recognized at all. I had been using the hard drive for
    other purposes but deleted everything from it when I decided to use it on my Xbox. It still works with my computer, so I know the drive is still functional.

    The drive is 1TB, I have made sure it is connecting with USB 3.0, I've made sure it is partitioned, I've tried each USB port, I've restarted the console, I've made sure the console has the current updates, I've adjusted the power settings to uncheck "When
    Xbox is off, turn off storage", and I even tried formatting the drive myself to FAT32 but the Xbox One still does not even recognize the external HDD. Is there anything else I'm missing? What else can I possibly do to get my console to recognize my hard drive?

    The hard drive I'm connecting to my Xbox One is a WD 1TB My Passport portable external hard drive (this exact model https://www.amazon.com/Orange-Passport-Portable-External-Drive/dp/B01LQQHIGU).

    :)

    External hard drive

    Yes my main Xbox recognizes the external hard drive. I have already power cycled my other Xbox and reset it in an attempt to get it to recognize the hard drive, but nothing has worked so far
