Data Error CRC

Help!

I have been using this drive for my Xbox console for 1 year now, and as of today it was not showing any of my games. 

I decided to plug the drive into my PC to see if it would read there, and as you can see, it does not show up in file manager.

This is a 10TB WD Desktop Hard drive, and has only been used on my Xbox one and Series X console only. I have never plugged it into my PC until today.

I have tried the CHKDSK command running in administrator but as you can see in device management, there is no 'Letter' assigned.

Any trustworthy programs that I can use so I can format the hard drive? I really don't care about restoring data cause Its just a game drive. 

Thank you in advance for those that can help!

The way I'd do it is to boot up a live linux install and format it with GParted. Windows is a bit weird with drives, and honestly the only program I trust with formatting Drives for Windows is Diskpart (partition manager as you were using, Diskpart is just the command line version). Once you format the drive with GParted, your XBox should detect it and allow you to install stuff on it. 

 

That being said, if your drive just randomly stops showing the data on it, there's a decent shot that the drive is dying, and it would probably be worth looking into just getting a new drive rather than trying to salvage this one, as it might do the same thing again in a couple days.

Xbox-formatted disks can't be read in Windows, since they use a different file system. You should be able to initialize it in Disk Management, but it looks like something went wrong in the process. Looking up your error, I found this TechNet thread and, from what I can tell, the CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check) verifies the data is good to be transferred. You'll have to right click on the disk itself (the left hand column, not the volume column) and click "initialize disk" with MBR for now. Then you should be able to create a simple volume and CHKDSK it. From there you can do what you want with the drive and format it on Xbox.

I cannot click on it as you can see in the image attached.

If I click on 'Offline' It will bring up the error box shown in the original screenshot (Data error (cyclic redundancy check))
