  1. Unable to play halo wars 2. Problem with external hard drive


    When I first got the game, I had it installed on my external HD. Now, it has it installed at 0gb's. Every time I delete it from the external HD, it shows up again at 0 gb's. I don't know what to do. Can anyone help?

    :)

    Halo

    I purchased an Xbox one, believing that Halo thru Halo 4 were backwards compatible. It turns out you cannot play offline coop with split screen. I finished Halo 4 on my 360 and just tried to play Halo and or Halo 2. I am unable to as it says I need to connect
    an external hard drive. I have no games currently on my HD. Help

  3. Hard Drive Messing Up?

    Thanks, I've removed the external, and it works perfectly. So that was the problem. Sooner or later, I'm going to get an actual Xbox 360 hard drive, since you gotta have 'em to play Halo 2 and other original Xbox games.

    Unable to play halo wars 2. Problem with external hard drive

    Hey there Legionaire161.

    Do you see this issue with other games on your external storage device? Curious to see if the issue is on the device's side of things. If you haven't already tried, please give an install on your Xbox One console's internal storage to see if there's any change.
    Keep us looped in with how it goes and whether other games are having issues with your external hard drives.

    Get a xbox 360, or stick with my xbox one?

    Also, is an official xbox 360 external hard drive backwards compatible (In case I want to get, lets say Halo 2)

    Halo not playing on external hard drive

    Hello, My name is Jesse. I'm an Independent Advisor and a member of the Microsoft community and I'd love to assist you today.

    I assume you have the Series S. If that's the case, then yes, you can't play the game from that external drive. You'll need to move it to the internal drive to play.

    Here's the only external drive where games can be played from on the Series X|S consoles https://www.xbox.com/en-US/accessories/hard-dri...
