Xbox One not formatting my USB drive! Need Help!!!

A usb drive needs to be formatted to NTFS to work with the Xbox one.

My point is that USB drive has to be formatted to NTFS format to do the offline update. Because most USB drive come formatted as FAT32. The commands I provided above are for Windows OS, It is just another method to do the NTFS format.

I believe nn Macbook You will need a third party app to do the format like Tuxera or Paragon.

Hope it helps.

When you see the E: drive (USB drive) you'll need to right click and and choose Format on the PC otherwise it will still be formatted for use with the Xbox.

In your case you can try and format the external hard drive through the xbox... may resolve your problem... unfortunately not mine.

1. Connect your external hard drive to an Xbox One USB port. An on-screen pop-up will display.
2. Select Format storage device.
3. Enter a name for the drive using the on-screen keyboard.
4. Select Install new things here to automatically install future games on this drive.
5. Select Format storage device.

I hope that helps you.

In my case I still need HELP! lol
