    USB Device Not Reading

    I am trying to get my xBox One to read my external hard drive.

    I have one hard drive I store games and apps on - it is 4TB. This hard drive has no problem. It still has 2.6TB free.

    There is still 768.9 GB free of the 780.9 GB on the internal hard drive.

    The second external hard drive is what is causing my problem. It has photos, documents and films on it. This device I use as a back up for my things like my phone and computer. It is 4.5TB and has 0 GB left.

    Is the problem my lack of storage or something else? I would like my xbox to be able to read it so I can view my things on it. Thank you very much for your help.

    Not reading USB

    Hey there, Lilman!

    I'm sorry to see any USB reading issues. The unfortunate side is that once this happens, the data on the USB device is corrupted and cannot be recovered. I understand how frustrating this can be, however your purchases are still linked to your profile which
    you will be able to redownload once you
    format the USB device     again.

    Please let me know if you have any other concerns regarding this! I'm happy to help where I can. Not reading USB :)

    Xbox not reading USB

    Some USB's do make data inaccessible. Which brand are you using? There's nothing I can suggest to regain access to those files however if you format the drive on your pc before configuring it on the console it should prevent that from happening again.

    USB Update

    Hi

    I tried to unzip the file and copy the $system_update to a usb stick. But, the xbox 360 does not seem to read the USB stick after restarting the xbox. Is there a trick to getting the xbox to read the system update off the usb stick?

    USB device not reading at all.

    Hey there, have you tried some of the troubleshooint steps here:
    support.xbox.com/.../usb-device-troubleshooting

    Also have you tried the USB in another device just to see if it at least registers that you've put it in the device? This would at least show us that the USB is getting recognised, if it's not then I would say it's an issue with the USB.
