The link Im about to post seems more in line with your issue. Beeping is not a sound you want to hear coming from a external hard drive. Yours, as seen in the video posted on this thread, is a beep. My Western Digital Passport Drive is broken, when I went to plug it in today, it makes 7 beeps, then 3, then another 3 sounds when connected. Here is an existing post with a similar problem. Your issue seems to be the begining of a hardware error, one that is know. I left specific instructions that it messes up after a few minutes of gameplay, not just it sittingĪny suggestions on what i should do next would be appreciated. Only thing i can guess is squaretrade only starts the xbox and does not actually play it. They tested it but nothing is wrong and they are sending it back again. Fast forward another two weeks later, i just got a email saying They apologized, asked me to send it back. What can I do One of the most damaging things that can happen to a hard drive is dropping it. I plugged it in and the drive just buzzes.
I plugged the Xbox in and playedįor a few minutes, the beeping started so i called back squaretrade and sat in the room with beep the whole conversation so they could enjoy it too. I was carrying my WD MyPassport 1TB hard drive from one room to the other and it slipped out of my hands and fell to the floor. I sent them the Xbox and it came back two weeks later with notes saying there was no issues found. Well i preordered the xbox two months before it cane outĪnd after i went back and forth submitting documentation and proof of console release date they finally accepted the return. When i first filed the claim i had to fight to get them to accept it because they said i failed to insure the device within 30 days. Now the most disappointing part is i have a squaretrade warranty. I tried three different games and it happens on all of them. Unpause and continue playing and the beep comes back Once the beep starts it wont go away unless unless i pause the game which usually stops the beep. It happens after a few minutes of gameplay, sometimes as quick as 5 minutes but always within 30 minutes.
I unplugged the external hard drive and reformatted the Xbox and the problem still happens.

My passport beeping portable#
Since this is a portable drive it's getting the power it needs through the USB cable. However in some cases this could also be a sign of power starvation. This beeping is usually a bad sign, it's often caused by problems with the heads.
