Xbox One X not recognising hard drive as NTFS

Thanks for sharing the resolution!
I'm going to keep that in mind if another gamer experience a similar issue!

Don't hesitate to reach the community forums if you need help in the future
For now take care and have a good day

Hi and thanks for reaching Microsoft Xbox gamer's community. My name is Josef.

Hope you're doing great today despite this Tom

May I know if you tried the opposite? I mean, format your hard drive as exFAT or another format. Then connect it to your Xbox and see if you can finally select it.

If maybe the issue persist after that, please answer the following questions to assist you properly:

What Xbox console do you have?
Are you using an insider build / beta OS on it?
If try using a different drive just for testing purposes, the same happens or are you able to format it?
May I know if you tried connecting the drive to a different console to see if the issue persist?
And besides formatting the drive in the PC, what else did you tried?
In that way I can advise you different things or how to proceed

Ok I figured it out with help from this post https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/xbox/forum/all/how-to-fix-external-hard-drive-error-0x80bd003c/e19425d3-c4c9-443c-ad0b-663d4f733a2b thanks for your time anyway!

I have formatted it to ExFat and NTFS but on my console it says this. "First format this device on your PC. To capture clips and screenshots externally storage must be formatted as NTFS. Connect it to your PC and format it, then reconnect it to your Xbox. (0x80bd003c)

My console is a Xbox One X.

I have also tried it on other consoles with no luck.

I am only trying to use this as a capture location.
