seagate game drive light out on front

aingealah · Jun 2, 2020

my seagate game drive isnt being recognised by my xbox, yet it is recognised on my pc. The white light on the front above the x symbol is no longer on. the xbox is working without the external drive but I have a lot of data on the external drive. Any
ideas?

sometimes the drive just gives out it happens. If the drive does not work at all I would recommend getting another external drive or a hub . The games are on the cloud so in that insance it should be fine. When you look at the storage does it show the
games etc at all. Sometimes the light just burns out and it still works however this might not be the case.

"Restart your One as it is a quick fix that usually helps in many cases. Remove and reconnect your external storage
device.Connect your external storage device to a different USB port on your Xbox One
console. Check the external hard drive on your computer to see if it is recognized."

Thanks for getting back to me. I think you are right that the drive is broken. I have been using it for about 8 months without problems. I have tried all the suggestions i have received but nothing has worked. I tried a different drive and it registered
as being on the xbox. So i think i sm going to accept its death. 🙁

Hi!

It depends on how the HDD was formatted. If it's used for multimedia support, you can use the HDD for viewing movies or photos on the console, while for the installation of games it will be necessary to format it in NTFS directly from the console or PC.
