Xbox One Won't Allow Game/App Storage on Seagate Expansion USB 3.0

[lacey29]

I bought a Seagate Expansion 2TB 3.5-Inch Desktop External Hard Drive USB 3.0 for my Xbox One. When I plug it into the Xbox One, it is detected but only for music and other media. I cannot use it for storing games/apps and there is no option to reformat the drive for games/apps. I have done a lot of searching on the internet but can't find anything to help. I can see the external drive when plugging it into a laptop - I used Disk Management to remove the NTFS partition and also to reformat the disk - still no luck. I now have an $80 external drive that is pretty worthless since I am at 96% capacity on my Xbox One and need to move games/apps over ASAP. Any advice would be appreciated.

Try deleting the partitions on the hard drive and leave it with out any. Then plug it in and it should ask you to format it.

If the XBox doesn't ask you to format it then the partitions are setup right.
