    Repeatedly Getting the Hard Drive Ready to Use Notification


    Hi so I keep getting this notification (sorry for **** photo but had to rush to get it)

    starts at random and happens randomly. Could be and hour or even 5 mins apart.

    Some days its the ssd one. Other days its the one full of movies. So I know it is hard drives themselves or it wouldnt be swapping between them.

    Ive factory reset from scratch.

    Hard reset.

    Ive gotten new cords

    I think Ive fixed it and bam its back again.

    Its getting annoying

    On my series x

    Any advice to stop. Ive already contacted before with instructions to factory reset. And didn't end up fixing anything

    Xbox is fully updated.

    As Ive said It isnt just that one hard drive. Its all of them. Even the ssd one. So it isnt the hard drives fault.

    This is Getting Ridiculous Now. Update for Dashboard NEEDED.

    I rarely have any problem signing in. I don't use instant on... but since the NXOE, every time my console starts, I get the notification pop up telling me that "External HDD is ready". Is there a way to stop it? Anyone else have this? It's not really a problem,
    but it does get annoying since it shows up in the notifications. Hard reset doesn't work BTW.

    Hard drives and Internet connectivity

    Its reading the drive. I get the notification saying the external drive is ready, yet my games will not appear. Its absolutely ridiculous that i have to be connected, to swap my drive to another console, which is in fact my home console 🤦��‍♂️
