Thank you so much for this. None of the other tutorials or guides online showed or mentioned the disk management step. Once I did that I was able to get my drive to format properly.
also need to add CMD format tutorial for people whose computers dont give the option to format in FAT32. Mine didnt and i had to manually format it through CMD. because the step only made my drive into NTFS which is the format for media.
For anyone who's Xbox doesn't give the option to format or their Xbox doesn't even read the device, do a simple volume and plug it to your Xbox and got to settings, system, storage, then click a on the hard drive then it should give you the option.
im having problems with 1tb seagate HD turning back on. at some point if i connected it to my xbox one, my controllers wouldn't work but after the update i haven't been able to use it, let alone able to reformat it on the computer (i don't care to lose the memory if i can get it to work. HELP! if you know how to thank you
So recently after I updated my Xbox my seagate external hard drive wouldn’t recognize my Xbox. Like when I plug it into my Xbox i would feel the external hard drive turning on but the light doesn’t. Please help I just bought this hard drive 2 months ago.
I can’t seem to get this to work, I have copied step for step and the storage I bought is 3.0, please can anyone help? It doesn’t come up with the format message

I tried this on a new external harddrive and did not work. Its a 1.5Tb HD with 3.0 USB. I did exactly like your vid but it won't even detect the hard drive. Once I reformat back its recognize again by my xbox. No matter what, I get no message to format or even able to in the settings area.
I bought the drive, plugged it in and it was reading as a RAW format then stops reading all together in about one minute or less. Windows would always ask me to "place disk into drive E\:" (or whatever drive port I plugged it into). It did this with each computer I tried. Sadly, I didn't keep the receipt. So I can't return it.
Either the drive is defective, or retrievable. How you format the drive does not affect future use (though it may destroy what data was already on it. DJ's instructions should work fine (they certainly did for me). Based on you indicating a "RAW", it would imply to me you established a volume, which is different than what DJ spec'd. As long as the drive is plugged in and powering up, you should be able to see it listed in the disk manager. You want it to show a partition that is equivalent to the entire drive size, but no volume established. When you then plug it into the XB1, it may take several moments, but it should come up as an empty volume. You can then choose to format it and such. I found that if I had any formatting of any kind already on it, the XB1 would crap out on me somewhere in the process (sometimes it acted like everything was fine, but didn't actually do anything)> Again, good luck, but, unless the drive is defective (and some are), DJ's instructions should work just fine.

Thank you for this, great video. All of the other ones didn't cover that I needed to delete the volume.
Thank you so damn much I appreciate this video it took me forever to figure out the format issue

What hard drive did you try to use?
+MrBlue1190 What is the brand name and model of the Hard Drive you're trying to use?
same here
It’s not showing delete volume
So I deleted volume but no simple volume but when I plug it in the Xbox it doesn't detect it what the FUCK do I do?
God bless you.
Can someone please please please tell me how to fix this: it doesn’t recognise my drive at all on my Xbox and did everything he did
Just go back to disk management you'll see your hard drive at the bottom right click and make a new volume
Don't fall for this again lol
Says device not ready
the option delete volume isn't available
+Anton Johansson Whats the current format of the drive?
+DJ Kid Nyce NTFS
I would try to see if you can reformat the drive and then try to delete the partition.
does this work on a 4 terabyte
You can try it. I personally do not have a hard that big to test.
the seagate 2tb wires suck hardcore ive went through like 6 of them
Thanks man
DID NOT WORK!
instead it went (via PC) and formatted it to RAW and now I can't do anything with it! Two TB down the drain!
@SEspider
It's not down the drain. If it doesn't read on your PC. Can you can go back and reformat the drive using "Disk Manager".
DJ Kid Nyce
Nope. I've tried many times and the computer simply stops seeing it after about a minute. And thus the formatting never finishes.
Few things.
How was the drive acting before removing the format?
I would also try another PC.
I bought the drive, plugged it in and it was reading as a RAW format then stops reading all together in about one minute or less. Windows would always ask me to "place disk into drive E\:" (or whatever drive port I plugged it into). It did this with each computer I tried. Sadly, I didn't keep the receipt. So I can't return it.
