    xbox one not detecting games on external drive


    i have an external hard drive and have games on it. The xbox one can see the external drive but it is saying there is no games on it, all though it shows it is 59 percent full.

    i have installed the new update, yesterday and i am getting this problem, but before i updated it, the xbox did see the games on the external hard drive.

    :)

    Games not appearing on external hard drive

    Hi ItsOminousCloud,

    Is the drive being detected under Storage? If it is not then try the following link please:

    Troubleshoot external storage detection on Xbox One

    I would recommend connecting the external drive to a PC/Laptop and if it is detected then what needs to be done next is a reset to the external drive itself.

    1. Plug the drive into the port on the PC or Laptop

    2. Go to files explorer

    3. Locate the drive (is it detected)

    4. If detected, right click then format

    This will wipe the drive. After, eject the drive then plug the drive back into the console port

    Side Note: it may have you format to match the console in NTF format

    Let me know if this helps :)

    External HDD question

    Hi K0rN b4LL,

    With the Xbox One games, all are technically installed on the console. So with that YES you can install this game to the external hard drive, and/or move it from your console to the external drive. That said if you have a game with a disk you will be required
    to put the game in the console prior to use. I've included a couple links for external drive troubleshooting and setup.
