Xbox not detecting HDD after update

I'm having the exact same problem. I have a Seagate 5TB external storage that is no longer detectable for multimedia usage after the sept 24 system update on xbox series x. A friend of mine who has a xbox one x is having similar issues with a 4 tb HDD. The bizarre thing is if I connect any HDD with 1TB (or less), it's detectable with no issues. Hopefully this bug is fixed soon.

You say that snake, but how is it EVERYONE has the same problem, AT THE SAME TIME. After AN UPDATE.

Edit: He finally got onto the dashboard, but his HDD is not detected.

First let's double check that the external HDD works. Try to connect to a PC. If the PC detects the HDD, format the HDD.

The plug to your console to see it detects the HDD apply the Xbox Format again.

Hope that works!

Regards!

New information: HDD is fine. I did 2 seperated scan with HD TUne 2.55 to detect bad sectors, and after 207 minutes it ended with 0.0 damaged blocks.

Any idea? Any xbox tool to run to detect the problem?

Hey mate

Did all that, still nothing. It was the most recent firmware update.

I was watching media off my hdd. Turned the xbox off (instant power mode).

Came back 20 minutes later and the hdd was no longer detected. Have been using this hdd for media for 4 months with no issue.

Checked if an update had been installed and it had.

Since then no media hdd has worked. I bought a brand new hdd today. Sometimes it detects and brings up the prompt. I select media. Hdd doesn't show up in storage.

I do the whole power cycle etc etc. Still nothing. No prompt either.

Go to disk management on pc. Delete volume. Create new simple volume. Format to ntfs. Unstuck quick format.

Plug back into xbox. Brings up prompt. Select media. Doesn't show up in storage.

Something in the update has created a bug. We need a patch or a hot fix.

Or something. A lot of people use their xbox as a media player. If you like I'll paste the reddit thread I found which was created soon after the firmware update complaining of this issue.
