Data transfer not working

Hi ! I bought a transfer cable to transfer my datas from my old xbox 360 (which doesnt work anymore) to my new xbox 360 S. But this is not working : The new xbox detect the old hard drive but cannot transfer its datas : I only can format it.

Why cant I use my datas ? Does not the hard disk work anymore ?

Thank you,

 

Hello FrostyTheSeito,

If I understand you correctly, the Toshiba USB 3.0 external HDD had been working with your Xbox One for sometime with no problems? That now the Xbox refuses to recognize that the external HDD is plugged into the USB port? And, when the external HDD is plugged
into the Xbox, the controller and WiFi stop working? Then, if you haven't already done so, may I recommend that you follow the steps outlined in "Troubleshoot
external storage detection on Xbox One" . If the Xbox still does not recognize the external HDD, and given everything else that's going on, I would suggest doing "How
to reset your console to factory defaults on Xbox One" . If that fails to get your Xbox and Toshiba USB 3.0 working together again with no other problems, then things have moved into a more difficult area of troubleshooting. You can try testing your external
HDD on another Xbox One. But, if that doesn't work then we have to assume that the games/data on that drive, for all practical purposes are unusable. At which point you have two options, 1) use a Windows PC and Disk Management to "Create
and format a hard disk partition" with NTFS on your Toshiba USB 3.0 external HDD, 2) or simply buy a new replace USB external HDD. and just download and re-install your games and apps again. However, if your Xbox continues to fail to recognize any USB
external HDD then unfortunately you may need to send it in for "Device repair" . But, lets hope it doesn't come to that. Regardless, please let us know what happens.
