Storage of D: Drive wont work

Hello Darrent, this is Manuela. I'm an Independent Advisor and community user like you, ready to assist with this.

I understand you're having some trouble when trying to install games on your external D: drive. Let’s try to sort this out.

For that purpose, I would like to ask, is your D: drive formatted with the NTFS file system?

Please review this by opening the File Explorer > My Computer > Right-click on the drive > Properties.

If your drive has the required file system, please do the next:
Go to PC Settings > System > Storage > Advanced Storage Options > Under “Apps”, click on the drop-down and select your D: drive.

Restart the PC, open the Xbox app and verify if you can install a game on your D: drive.

^^ Some games require a pysical hard drive so cloud storage wont work for the op's problem.

It is formatted correctly and also I have selected my F: drive for where new content is saved, and it still doesn't work because I when I try to install a game that is bigger than the amount of storage that is available on my C: drive it pops up a window with only my C: and D: drive options but not F: (and I don't have enough storage on my D: drive either).

Keep in mind some 360 games MUST run on the internal drive ir storage cards if they are patched which a lot are

If you are using an external hdd it wont work

Thanks for the help! I tried installing the game on the C drive and that worked. I also tried installing on my third drive (the D drive) and that also worked. However, both of those drives don't have much storage space and I need to use the F drive (the
one that gives the error) to store my games. Is there any way to fix this issue? Thanks!
