    Xbox external hard drive


    I was downloading a new game on my hard drive and then the Xbox turned off. When I went to check on it and to play the new game because it was close to finish downloading, the external hard drive was not registering. It sounds like it is working. But, no light. I plugged it into the computer and it shows up with no light. But not on the Xbox. It is a 2TB seagate xbox hard drive. How do I fix it?

    HELP! I had a lot of games downloaded on it.

    :)

    Hi there,

    Thanks for the reply. I'm sorry to hear that the issue is persistent on the External Hard Drive.

    Have you tried connecting the hard drive to a PC?

    Does the PC recognize the external hard drive?

    Does the external hard drive meet the specifications for the Xbox One?

    If the problem persists, I recommend to try a different external hard drive on the Xbox if possible. One thing we want to make sure, Are the ports on the Xbox One functioning?

    Let us know.

    Yes, I have an external hard drive connected to my Xbox, and the game appears to be installed on the external hard drive.

    hard drive

    As an idea for xbox one hard drives because they are internal and not external try plugging in an external drive to save or transfer all important games to external hard drive and leave not so important games onto internal drive
    that way you can take them anywhere and not have hard drive failures with xbox one.

    Issues with installation

    I'm gonna be more specific: the game doesn't accept installation on external storage. Whether it's flash drive or external hard drive, the game isn't meant to install on external storage connected through USB just like Need for Speed Rivals on Xbox 360.
    You need to install it on an internal hard drive (media hard drive). The link I provided to you aren't external hard drives; they're internal hard drives for the Xbox 360:
