Hello,
I made a catastrophic mistake it appears tonight plugging my working external Toshiba 2TB drive into my PC, not knowing you couldn't have two partitions on it for the Xbox to read the data.
So I lost about 8 games I had on there which was bad enough but now i can't get the Xbox to access the drive at all, in particular format it for use.
It recognises it in storage as External but clicking on it I don't get the "format" option like you should, all I get is view contents which of course there is nothing on it.
I've tried formatting NTFS in Windows, deleting all partitions etc etc, everything I found on the net!
Any ideas?
EDIT: Above now resolved but I have a bigger issue, the hard drive is recognised but despite it being the default drive to install games/apps on the Xbox resorts the internal drive. I don't even have an option to Copy or Move the game or app to the External drive. I just get Uninstall. It seems to work on the other Xbox One, it did last night anyway as I copied games over to it so I wouldn't have to redownload them. I just put my Xbox back to factory setting wiping everything and still no joy, this is infuriating!! Is my Xbox broke?
