  1. Trouble with external Hard drive


    I recently purchased a Seagate Expansion 5TB Desktop External Hard Drive USB 3.0
    for extra storage on my xbox one, i formatted it initially on my pc and all went well, but when i try to format it for my games and apps it allowed me to get to the screen where i can name the device then before i can name it goes into an infinite loading
    screen, it stayed like this for over 12 hours while i slept and multiple attempts have lead to the same screen, any suggestions?

    :)

  3. xbox one recognizes drive, won't let me format for extra storage

    I am having trouble with my external hard drive on my xbox one and ever since that new update my xbox one wont recognize that my external hard drive is plugged in I have tried the trouble shooting steps and nothing seems to work and my external hard drive
    is a 3.0 Toshiba external drive is this problem going to be fixed before its released to the general public because I want to play my games that are saved to that drive can anyone tell me if this problem is even being looked into at all

  4. Trouble with external Hard drive

    From what I have heard this is an issue with the new xbox experience dashboard and happening to folks in the preview program who have downloaded it. Same is happening to me at the moment, just have to wait for a patch to fix, or people have said if you format
    your drive on a different xbox that does not have the new dashboard and bring it to yours it will work.

  6. Thanks for the replies guys greatly appreciated, Looks like i'll just opt out of the dashboard experience for the time being, i honestly think it's horrible to begin with

  11. Hey, guys! Since this is an update issue, you will want to post in the
    Update Preview Forums after reporting this through your console. If you are having troubles accessing that link, please post up a new thread in the
    Managing my Xbox Live Account on Xbox One forum. Thanks for understanding.

    Game Won’t Download

    It's possible that the file on your external hard drive is corrupted which means that you may have trouble moving it. You may need to reformat the external hard drive in this case.

    Are you using an external drive? Have you tried unplugging it and re-plugging it in? maybe is a trouble with the hard drives, inside or external.

    External Hard Drive Troubles!!!!

    Have you tried plugging the device into the computer? That might help determine if there is an issue with the device itself. I have a similar issue now where my xbox will not detect my device at all but the power light is solid for me and my computer says
    that it is working fine.
