Little tip: If you’re in the Insider Program, your Xbox WILL NOT be able to be restored with OSU. You’ll have to put the original drive back in and remove it from Insider. That’s what caught me up, and I just want to put it out there if anyone else is having trouble.
Where people get preview builds of the OS. It's also noted that if your drive fails with a preview build, you have to wait for the latest public release of the OS, for the OSU file to install the OS on a new drive. You cannot downgrade to an older OS. So take note what OS build you have in case your drive fails.

This is a brilliant and thorough guide. I’ve just upgraded my working Xbox One X from its original 1TB hard drive to a 2TB Samsung SSD, and I’m installing my games again now. No issues at all, and the speed seems great so far -I had the video running at 1.5X while I installed, and mine was installing at about the same pace :D
This video was awesome, I had been looking around for help to fix my Grandson's Xbox one S. However, everyone video I found you had to use a script but you had to access to it. This video made it so easy to install a new hard drive. Wonderful Job Andrew Paul Thank you!!!
Awesome tutorial, MS support page says to use OSU 2/3 file on original Xbox one but these gave error when I tried to install them. I thought that I made some mistakes somewhere but it turns out that you need OSU 1 and all is good. Good thing I found this tutorial and resolved my problem.
really appreciate you telling us what can go wrong and how to potentially get around it. so many tutorials are on pristine kits that 'just work' first time, so rarely do you get help troubleshooting the problems :) . my hd died about a month after buying the xbox1 years ago, so ive done this once before, but it was before MS officially made it possible. glad to see MS giving us legit and 'easy' tools to install the os :) . will be following along when i finally get of my ass to upgrade to an ssd, as kinda dislike the loading times on my hhd :) . ridiculous that you lose 400gb from a 2tb drive though.
Thanks for this sir, a big help I just happen to bought an Xbox controller and the seller just gave his broken Xbox unit (E102) and one physical game with it for a bargain price The hard drive is cooked so I replaced it with a Seagate barracuda one and follow your instruction and it all went smoothly and the Xbox one is now resurrected and now I have 2 Xbox consoles 😆 Big thanks again sir, hope you can help many more
Thanks for the video, worked like a charm, replaced the broken HDD in my son's Xbox, only thing I couldn't get to work was the loading animation but I can live without that until it updates, great video again, thank you.

Love the video. Very in depth and explains errors and things that other videos do not touch on. Unfortunately, none of this worked for me. I think my XBOX One S is done! Error after error never getting past about 7%. I have tried different usb sticks and varying sized drives of over 500GB and I get nothing each time. I am not quite sure but maybe I was part of the Insider update ring and that has got me stumped for now. Anyway, the video was great and it gave me some juice to keep trying for a bit longer until I felt I had done everything. Thanks for the hard work on the video Andy.
After the first jingle, mine showed Something went wrong screen.. I clicked Troubleshooting, inserted USB flash drive and updated from there with OSU1 update. Worked like a charm! Great video for reference!
Andrew I love You, many thanks, I fix consoles every day and i was confuse, You help me another time, ppl learn every day. All the best from Thetford :)
I WISH I SAW YOUR VIDEO FIRST! you are the ONLY person to mention the insider program. you can however unenroll first before doing this adn wait for your xbox to revert to an older update (can take up to 3 days) but you have to do this before you start the upgrade process and do the osu1. i didnt know this and now have to wait until the next update to finish upgrading my xbox
Ty, it helped me a lot. This video was more helpfull than Xbox support and forum. Every offline system upgrade try was failed in stage 3. I had power cycle it 1 or 2 times to complete update. After that my console was slow and freezed a lot in menu/settings. When I copyed that animation file to system folder the OSU went perfectly. It went trough all the stages and my console was better than before! I know it just seems faster but finally can download a game without freezing..If u read this comment, just follow the steps 1 by 1. The answer for your problem is in the video. Működik, nekem ez megoldotta!
Thanks, worked perfectly for me. After yesterdays system update I came home to a bricked console, with the dreaded no hdmi signal. The console turning off after only 1 min 7-8 secs coupled with the no hdmi signal was the tell tale sign my HDD went poop. Back and better than before with an SSD.
The boot animation files were added to the OSU, so they were not part of the installation, hence not copied. Was there any file that you could edit for the installer to read them too? Thnx!
MAKE SURE YOUR BLU-RAY is CONNECTED!!! I chased this around for hours because I was only plugging the hard drive into the opened up system and trying to restore from there. I kept getting to the verification 100% and then E100 error. Plugged in the blu-ray and boom. Done!
This vide should have way more likes it's very detailed and proffesional ! My issue is holding the sync and eject button do nothing now where as before I could do a reset, I'm afraid my HDD is toast and needs to be swapped.
I just wanted to thank you! I got my e100 to go away. I was going to buy a new hard drive and go from there. I was watching another guys video And he put a link in to your video. I figured all I would have to do was clean the hard drive and reinstall everything. And that worked for me 100%. I tried the off-line update and it kept messing up. But with your video I was able to clean the desk reinstall it install the OSU one and she was ready to go.
hello, i got a new problem with the last tuto. i made it several times on different Xbox but i can't instal new hdd with the last OS of this summer, it is to heavy (6.1go). when i do 6go for A and 6go for B the System Update X volum is to small (12go). i tied to extend the volum but it is not working. i tried to find the lastest script but problem is still here. how to do ??
HI THERE I HAVE REAL PROBLEM HERE. THE NEW UPDATE VERSION IS 6.14GB WHEN THE (X UPDATE PARTITION HAS ONLY 11.99GB ) giving error that need more 180mb space? do you have new partition script because old gonna make the same 11.99gb ??
Two questions - 1. When we do the three beep technique after getting a new hard drive, will we hear the Xbox chime even if we turned that off on the old drive? 2. Why can we not just simply press the power button to turn the Xbox on?
my xbox loading screen didnt get put in. i downloaded your file and extracted it. yours says .dat in the file name and mine doesnt. could this have something to do with why my loading screen is black?
Thanks Andrew. Just got a 1s back up and running . Got the 101 error at 69 percent of stage 2 but did what you suggested and reset and cleared and then it went through the second time. You're a legend 👍
I tried to upgrade my hdd. The thing is the eject button turns on the xbox. I cant hold sync, eject and then press power. Why does my xbox power on with the eject button? It is phat xbox one 500gb. The xbox now has beep on, 5 seconds then beep off issue.
hi, I followed all the steps, but my xbox keeps on going with the black screen even in safe mode, even in 3rd beep situation. Could that be the video card, or the hdmi slot? how can i check that ?
I still got error message during offiline update "E101 00000504 8B050041" and cannot proceed. I try to replace samsung 870 qvo ssd for my Xbox X. Also, I got not enough space for A & B in System Update (X:) partition due to large size of the OSU1
For some reason I can no longer enter my troubleshooter in my one x. Will replacing the hard drive fix that and the issues I have? System is currently useless.
Thank you so very much. I had my xbox apart during this process. Just to make sure things went smoothly and to make sure I didn't need to do anything else. Not ideal I know. But it is going through. I did have an E100 error but that was 100% on me because I didn't have the blu-ray player installed in the system. Quick fix and it got past the part I was getting stuck at. Everything worked properly. I had a little snag when I was trying to get the boot animation. I had to add a letter to the partition to access the files. I was able to put the files in and now have the boot animation. After all of that my xbox is running just fine and is put back together with a new 1TB SSD. I have to reinstall all of my games, which isn't an issue since I mainly play on PC, but there are a few games not on PC that are on Xbox (MLB The Show) I noticed an immediate improvement of download speed. I spent hours trying to clone my drive and it wasn't working, I was getting frustrated. I'm glad there was another way to get it done. I know I could've spent money on a new series X. But a 1TB SSD is a lot cheaper.
Thank you for your tutorial. I've followed it to the letter twice now. It works, I get into setting up the Xbox one x, I sign in, I do all my settings, time, language, it updates the store etc. After all that, on the very next restart, it goes back to E error 102,105 or 106. Is it a sign of a faulty hdd? It's barely a year old 1tb sata. Please advise at your earliest convenience.
Thank you for this detailed video. When my HDD died I followed this exactly and got my Xbox back up and running. The only issue I have is that my online games will not connect to the games servers. I can play games fine offline and all my apps (Netflix, TH-cam etc) connect to the internet and work fine. I just can’t play online games. It was working fine before the original HDD gave up and I have the same router and ISP. Any ideas what is wrong?
Is this tutorial still relevant? And also did you intentionally kept the LAN cable disconnected during the installation? It has to be pure offline? What if i reset the console before the offline update and before putting the new drive? The OSU1 file will be newer than the factory defaults if i am thinking right. Wouldnt that decrease the chance of the update getting corrupt?
HOW DO YOU DOWNLOAD THE BOOT, ITS GREAYED OUT AND OPENS NOWHERE NOR DOWNLOADS NO WHERE. SAME FOR THE OSU 1, JUST A PICTURE OF A BLUE TAG FILE??????? HELP PLEASE. RIGHT CLICKING, CANT COPY OR DRAG?????
I have done the SSD upgrade to my XBOX ONE S awhile ago. I used the OSU1 that mentioned in Xbox Support website. And I didn't do any formatting to the SSD. I just wrap it with the old hard drive, then do the Offline System Update. The Xbox will guide you all the process (to a fresh factory-reset console). For the game-save, as long as you install the game thereafter (Or find it back in the store app), the game-save will be back there...... those Xbox Backup doesn't help! My 2 cents.
Your xbox doesn’t get to the third bip? Same thing happened to me it was because of the usb flash drive format, make sure you format it to NTFS but more important in the part in the Allocation Unit Size select the first one in the list is named “Default”. I worked for me. Good luck!!
Hey, I'm trying this with my Gears Of War 4 Xbox One S and all I get is system error E101 00000504 8B050041 now I followed this video for my original Xbox one and had no problems at all. Some help would be very much appreciated.
Hello, great video, helped me so much, I wanted to ask for some help as I replaced the HDD because of a gut feeling and it started working again. For some reason after a couple of weeks it's has now stopped working, looks like before, it powers on but it's doesn't display video. The HDD I used to replace was brand new. Any idea? I'm just sad because I played some games and everything was working fine
I got the error screen a while ago but now it doesn’t even turn on anymore like it’s not getting any power. Sometimes when I press the power button it makes a faint noise but usually nothing happens
Hello Paul, I'm just wondering what to do because my HDD SATA I is in the NTFS Format with nothing inside of it (Brand New), and everytime I go to my Xbox One to hold onto the Pair and Eject Buttons, I press the power button and only 2 Power-up sounds come up, the 3rd one doesn't even sound on and then I get 3 power-down sounds and it closes...
Thanks for the video, I had been going round in circles with E101 / E106 errors and my xbox, the instructions on xbox website are garbage! I bought it used, it had been factory reset, but it seems that does not get rid of the xbox insider os, the hard drive died and now it's a brick until the next osu1 update!
Im beginning to wonder if the thing where the console creates the partitions is something that microsoft added to the firmware as a result of the next gen consoles using non standard SSDs (which is modular, fortunatly, unlike the PS5 where it is soldered to the board), especially if the now previous gen and the next gen use pretty much the same firmware I must have had that thought in my head for at least the last 24 hours or so
Having the same thought right now. My one x lasted barely a year and a half and there is people I know with 7 years on a box. This is fucking bullshit.
I appreciate it, I had trouble at first but I had to format my hdd to ntsf and it finally recognized the hard drive so I could update it with a usb, I was starting to worry. I used a seagate barracuda 2tb, now I won’t have a slow ass Xbox one, woohoo.
I got a 2tb hdd seagate hard drive and i am enrolled in Xbox insider i put the new hard disk and everything i keep getting e101 and e106 and the OSU1 update is not working what is the fix to it ? Or do i have to wait for the new osu1 update ?
my xbox turns off seconds after turning on even after putting the old harddrive back in please help, it doesn't even get a chance to register, it worker perfectly fine prior
Is 2TB the maximum capacity allowed for internal HD? I have one 4TB device that was used as external drive, but the intenal drive became defective today. Can I replace It by this 4TB drive?
You can, but you will only be able to ever use 2TB of the 4, you won't be able to reach the other 2TB. If you ever take that 4TB drive out and reformat it for normal use, you will recover the full 4TB space.
The internal HDD in Xbox One (Launch Edition) failed last week, and I have tried to make the same switch with the same drives you show in the video (coincidence), I have a 2TB Barracuda that I wiped and formatted (supposedly) to an Xbox state, that is, one with all the partitions, but I tried two different USB drives with all three versions of the OSU (so then, six distinct attempts), all of them start "preparing update" and do maybe 4 or 5% until stopping, giving me the message "there was a problem". But do I understand your video correctly, there is no need to attempt to format it to an Xbox state, the Xbox will do that automatically if you install it in an uninitialized state?
same issue here but was a new 2TB barracuda.with my "there was a problem" also have a E101 00000504 8B050041 . so i took out drive wiped per Andys last video "xbox had installed the partitions " wiped them and reinstalled ran 3 beep method and same result.. have you had any success Chris ?
Hey Andy I'm having trouble connecting my controller when I'm at the troubleshoot anything for that? The controller vibrates but doesn't connect with the Xbox while I use usb cable
is it possible to install the OSU without a pair or power button? I have lost the front panel and have a barebones console. Done this process before but now I am here again. The troubleshooter menu comes up but offline update is greyed out. error 106
I found out it was my USB port that was bad. Either way I have a solution if you have a working old drive. simply use the xbox format tool to format a new ssd. then attach old xbox hdd to pc. have a nice chunk of free space to copy each partitions contents exactly as is onto the new formatted ssd. you will have to do this bit a partition at a time if 1 data adaptor. and limited space on the win 10 pc. you can skip the user content if you do not want the games its a grind but if you finally made it through all of it and copied each partition contents exactly as is. Now use the format tool to check the new ssd for errors. This will correct any issues you may have if the drives you are using / swapping are different sizes. as long as your old drive was running the latest OSU1 file than the above method will work As an example, I installed the latest OSU1 but it was a 1tb HDD that went bad quickly. I used the above method to replicate the drive onto a 500gb ssd
I've got a very interesting scenario with my Xbox that I've yet to find a solution online so I hope your insight can help me to resolve my situation. I have an original Xbox one that hasn't been used before. When I turned it on it said update failed but didn't give me an error code. Tried to install OSU1, however no matter how many times I've tried to go into troubleshooting mode it simple doesn't allow it, when I do it correctly it doesn't give three beeps it simply stays on a black screen until I let it go of the buttons and then it just does a normal boot. I then tried to reformat the hard drive on the Xbox but I still run into the same problem. I think I might know a solution, is it possible to format the hard drive in a certain way that it'll force it to go into troubleshooting mode on startup without doing the button sequence? If so then please let me know. Thanks.
I have an issue with my internal hard drive its very slow I cant run games with it , if I do what in the video does it help or I need to just replace it?
I just did this on my Xbox one X cause I had suspicion that my hard drive was having issues only to find out I was right and can’t get past 6% and it fails ur best bet is to leave it alone get a new hard drive then do this .. I’ve repeated process multiple times now I’m currently trying to use Active Kill Disk to Zero the drive out completely active kill disk says my Volume has invalid integrity not sure what that means hopefully a 7 pass Zeroing out might get it to work I find this completely retarded how the drive was working maybe with an issue my pc sees it after I take it back out n hook it to pc again the volumes looked healthy according to disk management but Active kill disk says bad integrity I mean I’m sure I could partition this drive out of Xbox one X and use it in my pc as a slave with no issues but out in Xbox and it won’t boot update this is child’s play on Microsoft’s part as usual they just want u to spend more money,, if u get a new drive just skip the clearing part of this video should be fine placing drive in Xbox n just Do the USB part the new drive should come Zero’d out
what should i do if my xbox will not do the three beeps? ive tried a bunch of times and it just beeps once and then after a minute or two it just turns itself off
Hi, your videos have really helped so far! Is it important tho to extract the Microsoft files to the usb drive from archives? I just directly unzipped the files from the download folder to the usb drive. When I plugged in the drive to the Xbox and turned it on using the method you demonstrated I just got a black screen with text in multiple languages saying System error and the code E200 000000EF and E101. Why does this happen… anyone with the same problem ?
I've tried everything with a 2Tb Seagate Barracuda drive and nothing works. No scripts, scripts, tried every possible way and still won't work. Replaced 2 other drives on other consoles with Crucial MX500 1Tb SSD with no issues - but this one - nothing! Going to try a WD Blue drive.
hi andrew you only need to press and hold the bind button while powering up. the eject actually does nothing and is a myth. give it a go and you'll see what I mean. great work by the way 👍
Hey Andy.. I did everything and I see E102 error . Any idea?I also wanna double confirm with you that I did not use those olden methods of partitions.. Just this video thats it ! By the way the original 500gb hdd is dead so I am replacing it with new hdd 500gb... have done this many times.. but this console is just making me crazy.... so confused... should I go back to old method? I don't have any idea on insider program... it's my clients xbox
The old method is not gonna work because, the new osu1 is 6.4gb and partition size of system update x is just 12gb.. so when you copy files to folders A and B you would run out of space.....
Hi I have a situation that my roommate turned off the Xbox One S Digital Edition probably while it was updating , and now for some reason it refuses to turn on(show display) , nor I can go to the troubleshoot pages. What would be the solution to my problem, if someone has encountered a similar situation in the past?
Hi! Everything in this tutorial worked perfectly for me except when I tried to install the boot animations. I removed the hard drive after updating it and plugged it back into my PC but when I do that my PC doesn't recognize that it's plugged in. None of the drives popup to allow me to copy the boot animation files to the correct folders. Do you have any information on why the drives would not be popping up when in file explorer under the "This PC" section? Any help or thoughts would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
Once the drive is formatted as Xbox, Windows won't recognize it in File Explorer. You have to open Disk Management or Command Prompt, but you can't transfer any files to the drive like you would in Explorer.
No scratch that, it's external drives for Xbox that can't be seen by Windows, but the internal ones formatted as Xbox should be able to be seen, partitions and all. The partitions should have letters assigned to each of them. If any of the partitions don't have letters assigned (should be automatic but you might have to do it manually) they will show up in Disk Management but not in File Explorer.

hello, i got a new problem with the last tuto. i made it several times on different Xbox but i can't instal new hdd with the last OS of this summer, it is to heavy (6.1go). when i do 6go for A and 6go for B the System Update X volum is to small (12go). i tied to extend the volum but it is not working. i tried to find the lastest script but problem is still here. how to do ??
Can I use a brand new sealed HDD , use the script and put in Xbox with the usb update method as I'm constantly stuck in e101, e102 and e106 loops
Welcome back mate!
Cheers mate :)
its giving me an option to update after setting up my language, should i do it? i have a wired connection hooked up.
YOUR A LEGEND, you saved my Xbox thank you so much man
I only get 2 beeps, and the trouble shooting screen, and it won't let me pick the boot from USB option, any thoughts?
HI THERE I HAVE REAL PROBLEM HERE. THE NEW UPDATE VERSION IS 6.14GB WHEN THE (X UPDATE PARTITION HAS ONLY 11.99GB ) giving error that need more 180mb space? do you have new partition script because old gonna make the same 11.99gb ??
Two questions -
1. When we do the three beep technique after getting a new hard drive, will we hear the Xbox chime even if we turned that off on the old drive?
2. Why can we not just simply press the power button to turn the Xbox on?
my xbox loading screen didnt get put in. i downloaded your file and extracted it. yours says .dat in the file name and mine doesnt. could this have something to do with why my loading screen is black?
Thanks Andrew. Just got a 1s back up and running . Got the 101 error at 69 percent of stage 2 but did what you suggested and reset and cleared and then it went through the second time. You're a legend 👍
Nice work! Glad I could help:)
I tried to upgrade my hdd. The thing is the eject button turns on the xbox. I cant hold sync, eject and then press power. Why does my xbox power on with the eject button? It is phat xbox one 500gb.
The xbox now has beep on, 5 seconds then beep off issue.
hi, I followed all the steps, but my xbox keeps on going with the black screen even in safe mode, even in 3rd beep situation. Could that be the video card, or the hdmi slot? how can i check that ?
I still got error message during offiline update "E101 00000504 8B050041" and cannot proceed. I try to replace samsung 870 qvo ssd for my Xbox X. Also, I got not enough space for A & B in System Update (X:) partition due to large size of the OSU1
Hey thank you for the vid. My Xbox One X cant go anymore in troubleshooting mode. Can you give me some advices?
For some reason I can no longer enter my troubleshooter in my one x. Will replacing the hard drive fix that and the issues I have? System is currently useless.
thank you SO MUCH my xbox has been broken for 3 years and i only fixed it thanks to this video
Excellent! Glad I could help :-)
Thank you so very much. I had my xbox apart during this process. Just to make sure things went smoothly and to make sure I didn't need to do anything else. Not ideal I know. But it is going through. I did have an E100 error but that was 100% on me because I didn't have the blu-ray player installed in the system. Quick fix and it got past the part I was getting stuck at.
Everything worked properly. I had a little snag when I was trying to get the boot animation. I had to add a letter to the partition to access the files. I was able to put the files in and now have the boot animation.
After all of that my xbox is running just fine and is put back together with a new 1TB SSD.
I have to reinstall all of my games, which isn't an issue since I mainly play on PC, but there are a few games not on PC that are on Xbox (MLB The Show) I noticed an immediate improvement of download speed.
I spent hours trying to clone my drive and it wasn't working, I was getting frustrated. I'm glad there was another way to get it done.
I know I could've spent money on a new series X. But a 1TB SSD is a lot cheaper.
Will this help with my Xbox that won’t update and is stuck in a continuous update loop?
Great video Andrew.. Hope you are well
Cheers mate - all well here, hope you're safe out there also!
is it possible for the usb drive to fail as my laptop is not picking it up now?
Thank you for your tutorial. I've followed it to the letter twice now. It works, I get into setting up the Xbox one x, I sign in, I do all my settings, time, language, it updates the store etc. After all that, on the very next restart, it goes back to E error 102,105 or 106. Is it a sign of a faulty hdd? It's barely a year old 1tb sata. Please advise at your earliest convenience.
Thank you for this detailed video. When my HDD died I followed this exactly and got my Xbox back up and running. The only issue I have is that my online games will not connect to the games servers. I can play games fine offline and all my apps (Netflix, TH-cam etc) connect to the internet and work fine. I just can’t play online games. It was working fine before the original HDD gave up and I have the same router and ISP. Any ideas what is wrong?
Thanks Andrew, just fixed my daughters One S 👍
Fantastic!
Is this tutorial still relevant? And also did you intentionally kept the LAN cable disconnected during the installation? It has to be pure offline? What if i reset the console before the offline update and before putting the new drive? The OSU1 file will be newer than the factory defaults if i am thinking right. Wouldnt that decrease the chance of the update getting corrupt?
HOW DO YOU DOWNLOAD THE BOOT, ITS GREAYED OUT AND OPENS NOWHERE NOR DOWNLOADS NO WHERE. SAME FOR THE OSU 1, JUST A PICTURE OF A BLUE TAG FILE??????? HELP PLEASE. RIGHT CLICKING, CANT COPY OR DRAG?????
Andrew, you are the man! I’m up and running again lol
Excellent news! Glad this helped :-)
I have done the SSD upgrade to my XBOX ONE S awhile ago. I used the OSU1 that mentioned in Xbox Support website. And I didn't do any formatting to the SSD. I just wrap it with the old hard drive, then do the Offline System Update. The Xbox will guide you all the process (to a fresh factory-reset console). For the game-save, as long as you install the game thereafter (Or find it back in the store app), the game-save will be back there...... those Xbox Backup doesn't help! My 2 cents.
Your xbox doesn’t get to the third bip?
Same thing happened to me it was because of the usb flash drive format, make sure you format it to NTFS but more important in the part in the Allocation Unit Size select the first one in the list is named “Default”. I worked for me. Good luck!!
Hey, I'm trying this with my Gears Of War 4 Xbox One S and all I get is system error E101 00000504 8B050041 now I followed this video for my original Xbox one and had no problems at all. Some help would be very much appreciated.
Hello, great video, helped me so much, I wanted to ask for some help as I replaced the HDD because of a gut feeling and it started working again. For some reason after a couple of weeks it's has now stopped working, looks like before, it powers on but it's doesn't display video. The HDD I used to replace was brand new. Any idea? I'm just sad because I played some games and everything was working fine
I got the error screen a while ago but now it doesn’t even turn on anymore like it’s not getting any power. Sometimes when I press the power button it makes a faint noise but usually nothing happens
Hello Paul, I'm just wondering what to do because my HDD SATA I is in the NTFS Format with nothing inside of it (Brand New), and everytime I go to my Xbox One to hold onto the Pair and Eject Buttons, I press the power button and only 2 Power-up sounds come up, the 3rd one doesn't even sound on and then I get 3 power-down sounds and it closes...
why would you downgrade
You fixed my Xbox! Massive thanks!
Glad I could help :-)
Thanks for the video, I had been going round in circles with E101 / E106 errors and my xbox, the instructions on xbox website are garbage! I bought it used, it had been factory reset, but it seems that does not get rid of the xbox insider os, the hard drive died and now it's a brick until the next osu1 update!
Thank you, great video!
Im beginning to wonder if the thing where the console creates the partitions is something that microsoft added to the firmware as a result of the next gen consoles using non standard SSDs (which is modular, fortunatly, unlike the PS5 where it is soldered to the board), especially if the now previous gen and the next gen use pretty much the same firmware
I must have had that thought in my head for at least the last 24 hours or so
Having the same thought right now. My one x lasted barely a year and a half and there is people I know with 7 years on a box. This is fucking bullshit.
can i do this with a external 2TB HDD? is it possible because i got an external but dont want to spend on a HDD if i can use the one i got
Sadly not, though if you're doing it purely for extra space then the XBOX One supports external storage for expansion.
I appreciate it, I had trouble at first but I had to format my hdd to ntsf and it finally recognized the hard drive so I could update it with a usb, I was starting to worry. I used a seagate barracuda 2tb, now I won’t have a slow ass Xbox one, woohoo.
Anyone know why an xbox one s won't accept an internal 1tb drive, gives E100 error. But will happily take a 500gb one. Thanks
Thanks again Andrew 👍
Thank you for watching :)
Hi, just so i understand, it is possible to use 500GB,1TB, 2TB SSD drive.? even on a xbox one whith factory 500GB HDD? Tia/Carl
Yes that's right, so if you want you can upgrade to a larger disk 👍
Glad I stumbled upon my email with my comment on the old video… I could’ve find it with a search. Awesome video.
Thank you!
I got a 2tb hdd seagate hard drive and i am enrolled in Xbox insider i put the new hard disk and everything i keep getting e101 and e106 and the OSU1 update is not working what is the fix to it ? Or do i have to wait for the new osu1 update ?
Just a case of waiting for the next update.
i have 14393.2123.amd64fre.rsl_xbox_rel_16.461105_1400 xbox os version i have tried this new method but i keep getting the e101
hi Paul i watch all your videos for the hdd upgrade but the update always stops at step 2 on 66% do you have any advice
Try with other HDD
Worked perfectly many thanks
my xbox turns off seconds after turning on even after putting the old harddrive back in please help, it doesn't even get a chance to register, it worker perfectly fine prior
Bro do een update with the Kingston a400 OR other drivers what do not have the full 1Gb and Just have 960Gb.
Is 2TB the maximum capacity allowed for internal HD? I have one 4TB device that was used as external drive, but the intenal drive became defective today. Can I replace It by this 4TB drive?
You can, but you will only be able to ever use 2TB of the 4, you won't be able to reach the other 2TB. If you ever take that 4TB drive out and reformat it for normal use, you will recover the full 4TB space.
Worked great! thank you!
What hardware issue would cause it not to update?
Tried update 1, 2 and 3 plus 3 different hard drives. All clean.
Get either E101 or E106 .
I get them also
2tbb ssd install one x
Putting back standard hdd, works fine
(Also did some new thermal paste)
The internal HDD in Xbox One (Launch Edition) failed last week, and I have tried to make the same switch with the same drives you show in the video (coincidence), I have a 2TB Barracuda that I wiped and formatted (supposedly) to an Xbox state, that is, one with all the partitions, but I tried two different USB drives with all three versions of the OSU (so then, six distinct attempts), all of them start "preparing update" and do maybe 4 or 5% until stopping, giving me the message "there was a problem". But do I understand your video correctly, there is no need to attempt to format it to an Xbox state, the Xbox will do that automatically if you install it in an uninitialized state?
same issue here but was a new 2TB barracuda.with my "there was a problem" also have a E101 00000504 8B050041 . so i took out drive wiped per Andys last video "xbox had installed the partitions " wiped them and reinstalled ran 3 beep method and same result.. have you had any success Chris ?
Hey Andy I'm having trouble connecting my controller when I'm at the troubleshoot anything for that?
The controller vibrates but doesn't connect with the Xbox while I use usb cable
Will it connect wirelessly?
is it possible to install the OSU without a pair or power button? I have lost the front panel and have a barebones console. Done this process before but now I am here again. The troubleshooter menu comes up but offline update is greyed out. error 106
I am aware of the process but have no eject pair or power button. any suggestions would help. thanks
I found out it was my USB port that was bad. Either way I have a solution if you have a working old drive.
simply use the xbox format tool to format a new ssd. then attach old xbox hdd to pc.
have a nice chunk of free space to copy each partitions contents exactly as is onto the new formatted ssd. you will have to do this bit a partition at a time if 1 data adaptor. and limited space on the win 10 pc. you can skip the user content if you do not want the games
its a grind but if you finally made it through all of it and copied each partition contents exactly as is. Now use the format tool to check the new ssd for errors. This will correct any issues you may have if the drives you are using / swapping are different sizes.
as long as your old drive was running the latest OSU1 file than the above method will work
As an example, I installed the latest OSU1 but it was a 1tb HDD that went bad quickly. I used the above method to replicate the drive onto a 500gb ssd
I've got a very interesting scenario with my Xbox that I've yet to find a solution online so I hope your insight can help me to resolve my situation.
I have an original Xbox one that hasn't been used before. When I turned it on it said update failed but didn't give me an error code. Tried to install OSU1, however no matter how many times I've tried to go into troubleshooting mode it simple doesn't allow it, when I do it correctly it doesn't give three beeps it simply stays on a black screen until I let it go of the buttons and then it just does a normal boot. I then tried to reformat the hard drive on the Xbox but I still run into the same problem. I think I might know a solution, is it possible to format the hard drive in a certain way that it'll force it to go into troubleshooting mode on startup without doing the button sequence? If so then please let me know.
Thanks.
Hi, This has all the hallmarks of a defective disk to me. I'd replace it with a new one and retry the OSU1 install from there.
I have an issue with my internal hard drive its very slow I cant run games with it , if I do what in the video does it help or I need to just replace it?
I just did this on my Xbox one X cause I had suspicion that my hard drive was having issues only to find out I was right and can’t get past 6% and it fails ur best bet is to leave it alone get a new hard drive then do this .. I’ve repeated process multiple times now I’m currently trying to use Active Kill Disk to Zero the drive out completely active kill disk says my Volume has invalid integrity not sure what that means hopefully a 7 pass Zeroing out might get it to work I find this completely retarded how the drive was working maybe with an issue my pc sees it after I take it back out n hook it to pc again the volumes looked healthy according to disk management but Active kill disk says bad integrity I mean I’m sure I could partition this drive out of Xbox one X and use it in my pc as a slave with no issues but out in Xbox and it won’t boot update this is child’s play on Microsoft’s part as usual they just want u to spend more money,, if u get a new drive just skip the clearing part of this video should be fine placing drive in Xbox n just Do the USB part the new drive should come Zero’d out
what should i do if my xbox will not do the three beeps? ive tried a bunch of times and it just beeps once and then after a minute or two it just turns itself off
update: the harddrive i used was drawing too much power forcing it into a boot loop, when i used a different harddrive it then worked
Hi, your videos have really helped so far! Is it important tho to extract the Microsoft files to the usb drive from archives? I just directly unzipped the files from the download folder to the usb drive. When I plugged in the drive to the Xbox and turned it on using the method you demonstrated I just got a black screen with text in multiple languages saying System error and the code E200 000000EF and E101. Why does this happen… anyone with the same problem ?
I've tried everything with a 2Tb Seagate Barracuda drive and nothing works. No scripts, scripts, tried every possible way and still won't work. Replaced 2 other drives on other consoles with Crucial MX500 1Tb SSD with no issues - but this one - nothing! Going to try a WD Blue drive.
hi andrew you only need to press and hold the bind button while powering up. the eject actually does nothing and is a myth. give it a go and you'll see what I mean. great work by the way 👍
Thanks for the info
Hey Andy.. I did everything and I see E102 error . Any idea?I also wanna double confirm with you that I did not use those olden methods of partitions.. Just this video thats it !
By the way the original 500gb hdd is dead so I am replacing it with new hdd 500gb... have done this many times.. but this console is just making me crazy.... so confused... should I go back to old method? I don't have any idea on insider program... it's my clients xbox
The old method is not gonna work because, the new osu1 is 6.4gb and partition size of system update x is just 12gb.. so when you copy files to folders A and B you would run out of space.....
fixed the power issues, but now it constantly fails when I try to offline update
Hi
I have a situation that my roommate turned off the Xbox One S Digital Edition probably while it was updating , and now for some reason it refuses to turn on(show display) , nor I can go to the troubleshoot pages. What would be the solution to my problem, if someone has encountered a similar situation in the past?
try to access the troubleshoot menu and reset but keep apps and games
Hi!
Everything in this tutorial worked perfectly for me except when I tried to install the boot animations. I removed the hard drive after updating it and plugged it back into my PC but when I do that my PC doesn't recognize that it's plugged in. None of the drives popup to allow me to copy the boot animation files to the correct folders. Do you have any information on why the drives would not be popping up when in file explorer under the "This PC" section? Any help or thoughts would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!
Once the drive is formatted as Xbox, Windows won't recognize it in File Explorer. You have to open Disk Management or Command Prompt, but you can't transfer any files to the drive like you would in Explorer.
No scratch that, it's external drives for Xbox that can't be seen by Windows, but the internal ones formatted as Xbox should be able to be seen, partitions and all. The partitions should have letters assigned to each of them. If any of the partitions don't have letters assigned (should be automatic but you might have to do it manually) they will show up in Disk Management but not in File Explorer.
Hey thx so much for the vid but I keep getting e101 on loop I've tried literally everything does this mean that my xbox is basically done for
getting the same issue no hdd is working for mw now
did you join the xbox insider program?
