I recently moved and set my xbox back up. When I power it on the external hard drive makes a beeping sound and powers off. Can this be fixed or do I need to replace it?

When the drive is beeping, that means there is a power issue or it's at the end of it's life. There's some troubleshooting that can be done to see if it's just a power issue
# (The easiest) Disconnect the drive and unplug the cable from the disk and spray out all the ports. There might be some dust
Otherwise, you can run SeaTools. It's a software made by Seagate that diagnoses drives. You can download it here and you should be able to run a test on your drive to see if there is any corrupted data or see the hard drive's life
