So, I'll be the first to admit I maybe don't take as much care of my console as I should- it's been pretty dusty round that area- but I'm having major problems with it.

Basically, today, for the first time in about a month, I decided to turn my Xbox on. It just won't load my external hd at all; it's plugged in, it's there, but it's not doing anything. I don't know if it won't turn on, or the xbox isn't seeing it, but it's doing nothing at all.

Problem is, almost everything is installed on it, and I'm not sure what to do about it. It's one of the Seagate 4TB ones specifically made for Xbox, and I've only owned it for about four months or so, if that.

My Xbox has had other issues recently- for a while, it wouldn't recognise discs I was trying to install, but that problem seemed to have cleared itself up.

I guess my question is- is it my hd, or is it my Xbox that's the problem here, and how do I fix it?
