  1. Need help with games not installing to external drive


    Games will no longer install to my external hard drive. Attempt to install a game and it stops, giving me an "installation stopped" error. Apps install fine. Apps also transfer to and from fine. It's only games that won't install. Am part of the xbox insider program running the newest update. I'm on an original xbox one (not S or X). Tried all the suggested steps for fixing an installation error. Is anyone else having problems installing games to external hard drive? Any fixes? Would leaving the insider program fix it?

    Installation stopped message still appearing when trying to update Forza Horizon 4

    The external hard drive helps a lot, it's used because the game pass needs, haha
    Try uninstalling the game and installing again.

    Issues with installation

    I'm gonna be more specific: the game doesn't accept installation on external storage. Whether it's flash drive or external hard drive, the game isn't meant to install on external storage connected through USB just like Need for Speed Rivals on Xbox 360.
    You need to install it on an internal hard drive (media hard drive). The link I provided to you aren't external hard drives; they're internal hard drives for the Xbox 360:

    Xbox One Installation Stopped External Hard Drive

    None of the above solve the issue. Games currently Installed on the external drive work. Unless they need an update. They can not be updated. New games can not be installed to external drives in the xpack enclosure. Apps seem install with no issue. Games
    can not be migrated to or from the external drive as well. Apps migrate with no issue. The issue seems to be related to the xpack external enclosure. It seems to have stopped working after the Feb update. Prior to this games installed updated and transfered
    with no issues using the xpack enclosure.

    is it possible this is a hardware issue

    Hey ShinobiSword,

    i noticed you have an external hard drive in use with your console, are the games that are crashing installed on your internal or external hard drive?

    if they are on the external drive it may be worth trying to move the install of the game to your internal drive and having another go.

    Hope this helps, best of luck!
