    Problem with External HDD


    I gave my external hdd to one of my friend to copy a game for me but after i get it form him when i connect it to my xbox one it doesn't show all of my games. for example when i select manage on a game that i have it in my internal it shows that its in both
    of them (which is correct) but it doesnt show it when i switch internal to external HDD. by the way when i copy my external hdd games to my internal (Copy, NOT MOVING) it doesn't show that game in my external hdd anymore.

    :)

    External HDD problem

    I just changed it to power saving mode, and it stopped spinning. So looks like I will have to use power save mode, I wonder if Microsoft could patch it?

    External HDD problem

    Thank you, but now I have ran into a bigger problem, I found a way to stop the disk spinning when not active but I had to connect to PC format the drive so that the PC could see it and then did want I needed to do. So then I connected my hard drive back
    to the Xbox and formatted inserted a disc to install and this is where it starts, it like the Xbox thinks the game is installed I get the splash screen on the game and then is dashboards me and say connect your external device - its like it remembers my old
    drive. It then says insert disk to install, I'm like its in there :s the only option is install from Xbox store but there is no way I am installing 400+GB of data. does it with all my games and I have try hard reboots.

    Copy/move xbox one games from hdd to hdd

    Fortnite is a digital game and is on my external hdd and I want to copy it to another external hdd, which was never a problem before, but now suddenly is.

    I personally don't seem them patching it in my opinion,

    The main reason I see it powering the HDD while in instant on is so it will read the data with out having to power up the HDD everytime.

    With the power saving mode it will give the HDD time to cycle up so the information can be read by the time the console gets to the menu screen

    I would assume it is to do with the instant on mode, so that the Xbox can read the data for the instant resume mode for the games.

    You could change the power mode to see if the HDD turns off just to see.
