Since yesterday, my HDD from xbox can't be recognized by my console.

Can't connect to any profile.

[Mod Edit]

What's wrong with it ?

Xbox hard drive not recognized

4gb models do not come with hard drives only internal memory units. So it seems like you might have to buy a hard drive before you can install the HD content from Medal of Honor: Warfighter.

Xbox hard drive not recognized

Hello,

Can you please check your storage devices by going to Settings > System > Storage > Check to see if it lists the Hard Drive as being unformatted. If it is, this means that you will need to format the hard drive in order to be able to use it.

Check if your hard drive shows any sign of corrupt files shown with (!) or yellow circle. Delete these files and clean your console's cache:

support.xbox.com/.../clear-system-cache

If this doesn't solve your issue I suggest you to format the hard drive:

Careful: When you format a storage device, all of the information saved on that device is erased and cannot be recovered. Make sure that you either do not want the information stored on that device or have backed up the information to another device before
you continue.

To format a storage device

Press the Guide button on your controller, go to Settings, and select System Settings.

Select Storage or Memory.

Select the storage device that you want to format, and then press Y on your controller.

Select Format. You will see the following message:

This will delete all content on this device. Do you wish to continue?

Select Yes to format the storage device.

If you are asked to enter your console serial number, do so, and then select Done. This step helps to guard against accidental formatting.

I followed all the instructions that you gave. Unfortunately, the Xbox still does not recognize the hard drive.

In my case, the drive is recognized by PS4 just fine. But Xbox does not recognize ANY storage device - several hard drives or USB flash drive.

Xbox hard drives are not meant to be seen by a PC. So if you format it on a PC the Xbox will no longer recognize it as an Xbox hard drive.
