    Bro, I tried all the methods I knew and failed, many videos of tens of minutes long and offer nothing explanatory, looking at your video I solved the problem in less than 3 minutes.
    Your method is the simplest and best. Thank you very much, you just won a new subscriber.

    Just earned my subscription because dude this video was quick, simple, and understandable. Switched my external over from my PS4 over to my laptop and couldn't get it to work and now it does, nothing was more satisfying than seeing a steam game that required 40 gigs have 2tb of room to download on

I just received my new 2T hard drive from amazon and spent the last 2 hours trying to figure out why it wasn't popping up under my storage and I was trying to format it to NTFS so I can record game clips on my xbox. I watched tons of vids and googled my problem and randomly came across your vid! I was about to return my hard drive cause I thought it was defective! Liked and subbed! Thanks a million!!

    I can not thank u enough! My daughter's Xbox suddenly didn't see her external storage. After holding the button and restarting, unplugging etc I had no idea what to do! U walked me thru step by step and it suddenly kicked back to life! Plugged it back in to the Xbox and it can see it again (albeit empty but hey!) So she has a fresh hard drive to download evrything again. THANK YOU!!!!

      Finest I have formatted my 2 tb hardrive on my pc, it now shows up just like yours.
      However, when I plug it into my Xbox I can’t set the external hard drive as my preferred capture location, it only allows internal and thus 2 min recordings.
      If I unplug my hard drive and plug back into my PC, it basically vanishes and I have to repeat the format process all over again!
      Any advice please?
