    Xbox 360 S Hard Drive says "Unformatted" Need Help


    Everytime I turn on my Xbox, it signs me out of my account and works perfectly fine. I go and check my system storage and my hard drive says its unformatted. I really do not want to reformat it since it'll erase all my info. If someone could help me that
    would be awesome.

    :)

    Unformatted Hard Drive

    I sign on my Xbox 360 today and have to download the new system update but it says I have "insufficient storage" which is stupid because I have over 50GB left on my Hardrive so I delete some random app that was installed to make room for this "huge" system
    update... After the update is downloaded my Xbox is now processing extremely slowly and takes over 15 seconds to load any menu or anything I try to do. I make my way over to 'System Settings' and then 'Storage' and it shows my hard drive as 'Unformatted' with
    'Capacity: ' and Free Space: ' so I click on the Unformatted hard drive and the only option is to Format it and delete everything on the hard drive. I've tried formatting it twice now to no avail. I'm still unable to store anything on it and it says 'Unformatted'
    plus my Xbox is still going sooo slow and I can't access any games or anything from the hard drive. So my questions are: what in the world is going on? Do I need a new hard drive? Is there any way to fix this? Thank you in advance...

    Hard drive keeps telling me too format?

    The other day i turned on my Xbox 360 and no profiles were found, So i went to settings then memory and it says my hard drive was unformatted. So i entered my serial number and formatted my hard drive. After i did that i restarted my xbox and went back into
    memory and it still says unformatted. I repeated the formatting process mutiple times now and it still says unformatted any ideas on how to fix my hard drive???

    Unformatted hdd

    Once a hard drive is coming up as "unformatted" that means that the Xbox 360 can no longer read the data that's on that hard drive.

    You can try to remove the hard drive and place it back in the console and see if it makes any sort of difference. If it doesn't then that means that the data is already gone as there's no way to read data that's coming up are "unformatted" on a hard drive.

    You'd need to format that hard drive in order for it to be readable again. If this happens again, it's likely an issue with the hard drive and it would need to be replaced.

    Hey there Fir! Are you saying that your hard drive is unformatted? When you go to System, then Storage does your Hard Drive read as unformatted? I'm trying to make sure I understand the situation.
