    Unformatted storage after failed update


    So this morning I was playing my xbox just fine, then this afternoon I turned it back on and was told there is an update. After two failed attempts I decided to ignore it for now but when I tried signing back in, my xbox showed zero profiles. So I tried
    to download the update again but only to be told I need a certain amount of memory. So I went to Settings > System > Storage and it's telling me "unformatted." Is there anything I can do without trying to format? I'd rather not lose all my saves. This is all
    on an xbox 360 slim 4gb. Thank you.

    :)

    This happened to me about 1 month ago. I would like to know what's the cause of this error. My internal storage was unformatted before I couldn't download, so I think it was the unformatted internal storage that causes the problem. I recommend watching,
    How to Fix "System Update Failed" - Any Status Code (Xbox 360) by MrMario2011. It didn't work for me because I think it was my unformatted internal storage. Check the video out on Youtube.

    Unformatted storage after failed update

    did you get an answer to this. I just updated my system and now everything that was on the hard drive is gone. ALL the games, which were ALOT and my kids are freaking out. I mean i shouldn't have to rebuy all these games because XBOX's update messed my
    system up.

    Hey, FlamesZerosuker! First, you wouldn't have to repurchase all your games; they are linked to your Xbox account. However, this thread is kind of old. Go ahead and post up a new thread detailing your issue so that we can get you the proper support!

    Hi there,

    when this happens what does your storage section show? Does the storage show as unformatted, or does it show the storage device but just empty? And does the storage size match what it should be?

    If the storage shows as unformatted, then something happened to the hard drive, which may (doesn't have to) indicate that the hard drive is broken(or failing).

    The only option is to format the drive to see if the issues has been resolved.

    The console asks for an update when the most recent update can not be found, so it is most likely a storage issue.

    Let us know the results
