xbox seagate turning on and functioning but isn't recognized by xbox

[stray brook]

So my 8tb seagate external hard drive is turning on and powering just fine but when it's plugged into my xbox its not registered but when plugged into my laptop it gives me the ability to reformat it to pc (which I haven't done) anyone know why it wont register on my xbox

[wooden sable]

U should not use it on xbox and pc. It will force a reformat on xbox. Use either or not both

[stray brook]

Its not used on both its only formates for xbox as its intended it was never ment to be for pc that was to see if it was something with the storage or the cord or something else it was mainly to try and narrow the problem down

What is it formatted to? Fat32 or ntfs?

Should be Fat32 it has been formatted for xbox for 2-3 years now it only started acting up recently

The issues is its not detecting it on my xbox

[earnest kayak]

for xbox too read it needs too be NTFS

you cant use it for xbox and PC

Plug it into a PC format it too NTFS then the xbox should see it and format it for games

I know that if you look up there i mentioned what i did

[earnest kayak]

ah okay so it was working on xbox before

I said what i said because you said Fat32 and xbox will not see fat32

[stray brook]

Ah

I think the storage is just broken its no longer registering it on my laptop
