Update 1407 Breaks External Drive - Again!!

To start, this post is related to Xbox One preview update 1407. Before I yet again get told to post in the preview forums, THE PREVIEW FORUMS ARE NOT WORKING! Every time I try to access the preview forums I get "Group not Found", and yes I am in the preview
group because I get all the preview updates and messages from Microsoft about their release.

Now that we have gotten past that lets get to the problem at hand. When the update first released, I immediately lost the ability to read or even recognize the external hard drive that had been working perfectly until then. After many attempts to get it
to work (including replacing cable, unplugging, rebooting, etc) I gave up and formatted the drive on my computer. After formatting the drive I plugged it back into the Xbox One and it was recognized and started working again no problem.

It's been three days since that happened and now the
Xbox fails to recognize the external drive yet again. This update seems to be killing external drive use over and over. Please look into this for a root cause, I'll be happy to share any details I can to resolve the problem.

Thanks!

Update 1407 Broke External Drive

Unfortunately that setting did make a difference in terms of reading the external drive.

Anyone else with update 1407 having this problem?

I'm in the preview and my external HDD still works with no problems.

What make and model is your HDD?

I just looked in the preview forums and can see a couple threads about USB HDD's no longer being detected after the 1407 update.

A hard power reset fixed the problem on one of the threads.

Press the power button for about 5 seconds until console shuts down. Once console has fully shut down and light on power brick turns orange you should disconnect the power for a couple of minutes.

After a couple of minutes switch on and try again

 

I have had some crazy issues over and over done same thing reformatted hard drive still hasn't permanently solved issues
