    Xbox won't find my games that I have installed on my external hard drive.


    I was trying to install Forza Horizon 5 on my external from my Xbox. It stopped installing so I looked up what to da and it said to restart my Xbox. I did that and when it started back up it couldn't find any wireless connections to connect to. I also looked up what to do about this and it said to unplug your Xbox. After I did that I connected to my wireless but now my games can't be found on my drive. It did say that my drive was ready and the installation said it had started but with 0% done. It also had no progress done. I have restarted the Xbox, unplugged the Hard drive on both sides, and unplugged the Xbox. Nothing works and I'm clueless, any help would be appreciated.

    :)

    Call of duty Black ops Cold war will not uninstall from my Xbox one s

    Yes, I have an external hard drive connected to my Xbox, and the game appears to be installed on the external hard drive.

    Oh my! Try the following!

    The first step in resetting an Xbox is to open the main menu. This can be accomplished in one of two ways:

    Press the home button on your Xbox controller. This is the illuminated button with a stylized X that is centrally located on the front of the controller near the top.

    Alternately, you can press the left bumper until you reach the home tab, and then press left on the d-pad.

    Press down on the d-pad until you reach the gear icon.

    Press the A button to select the gear icon.

    With all settings highlighted, press the A button again to open the settings menu.

    Press down on the d-pad until you reach System.

    Press the A button to open the ​System submenu.

    With console info highlighted, press the A button again.

    Press down on the d-pad to select reset console.

    Press the A button to select this option and move to the final step.

    Press left on the d-pad to select Reset and keep my games & apps. Then press the A button. This is the less thorough of the two options, as it only resets the Xbox firmware and settings without touching your games and apps. Try this first, as it allows you to avoid downloading everything all over again.

    It now seems like it is a problem with the xbox because I can't install games on the internal storage or play games that are already on there.

    The drive is recognized by my pc but it is formatted for my Xbox so it isn't seen as a drive on my pc. I don't really know what I'm looking for once I plug it into my pc.

    Hi there Frost welcome to the community forum! Christopher here, an Xbox fan just like you and has been on Xbox for years already. I would really love to make your day by helping you out. Have you tried plugging the EHDD to a PC to see if it recognises it correctly?
