I can't thank you enough for such a thorough and detailed guide. Many many tutorials are filled with young adults trying to force some bizarre charismatic camera personality into their videos with soundtracks playing in the back, and they don't cover in detail how to go about different steps and what can potentially go wrong. Thank you for keeping it simple and professional.
Flawless my friend! To no avail I have a fully functioning xbox one again. My brother was devastated that his xbox failed, thank you so much for your thorough instructions. My hat goes off to you and the individual who wrote the scripts. Thank you!
HUGE thank you for this video!! My son's Xbox needed a hard drive replacement, and by following this video I was able to do it all myself. I appreciate you uploading this!
To those of you experiencing a black screen where your splash screen used to be, I have found a fix! Video will be incoming shortly. In the meantime, I'll upload a new file to the usual location in the description - I'll reply below once that has been done. Anyone with the black screen just needs to replace their bootanim.dat files in A&B with the one I'm going to give you. It appears the new updates corrupt one of the copies of the existing file for some unknown reason which causes the issue. Many thanks for watching!
@@AndrewPaul hi Andrew just found your videos after been sent round in circles on Reddit by various "Xbox people" have you ever done this when the console is in the beta (preview) builds I'm not very technical so I'm going to watch this video afew times to catch as much as I can but pulling hair out with these e102 e105 errors. Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks Andrew! Just fixed my E102 Hard Drive with your guide replacing the drive on my Xbox One X. I don't live in a country where Microsoft supports Xbox so this was my only shot. Selfless people like you who take the time to these kind of thing to help people out is why the internet is so amazing. Thank You!
Absolutely brilliant video which I followed to the letter. However, found that the XBox did not power up. Messaged Andrew for guidance and with his tips not only corrected the power up issue (my incompetance) but also managed to complete the change over to a new drive. Thank you so much !
Just wanted to say thank you for the excellent tutorial. I had been having problems with my Xbox and had surmised that the hard drive was the likely culprit. It was. I had a few hiccups with the command prompt that too me a few extra minutes to work out but it was smooth sailing after that. Glad you put in the part about sometimes having to "reset" the system after installing the hard drive as mine did the same thing as in the video. Thanks you! Now I have a functional and upgraded Xbox.
I cannot thank you enough, My Xbox One is finally alive again after a year and a half of trying multiple fixes!! We need people like you working for Microsoft and rendering the much needed support on their products!! Year 2020 kicking off on a good note now...lol
If you're tempted to re-use the original disk, check it for bad sectors with HDAT2 (available free at hdat2.com). If it finds many, or any unrecoverable, purchase a new drive. Any between 500GB and 2TB are fully supported.
@@AndrewPaul what if the original drive doesn't appear when connecting to the PC, does that mean the drive is dead? No spinning click noise, just doesn't appear in windows
Thank you soooooo much for this detailed video! Worked like a charm for me going from the 500gb (that was making a loud noise) to a 1tb SSHD. Only things I had to deal with was to make sure when you initialize a brand new disk, make sure it’s GPT not MBR. I also made sure, after the installation on the Xbox was completed, to do the factory reset until the second beep as was demonstrated and then everything went like a breeze. Didn’t have a black screen but I wanted to be thorough. Longest part was it took a while to reinstall all the games but no issues thus far. Thanks again!!!!
This video saved me from having to replace my Project Scorpio Xbox One X. I'll probably go through this process again to update to a proper hard drive. E102 error, but had a backup 500GB. Used to have 1TB. 2TB is next!
Never subscribed to a youtube channel but this video just saved my xbox one that was about to be binned after HDD failure.... I now have my xbox one back working and with a nice 1TB drive installed. Total cost £40. Local repair places near me were quoting £100 to do this!! Thank you sir :D
Upgraded to an SSD and this worked beautifully the first time on 7/20/20. No issues, errors, etc. whatsoever. Excellent video. Extremely helpful. Thanks!!
Thank you so much for this tutorial. Followed these steps and my console is now working again after installing a brand new 500GB HDD. Couldn't have done it without this.
I wanted to take the time to say that this guide worked perfectly! I was able to repair my Day One Xbox One and it is now working perfectly again!!! Thank you!!!
Andrew I owe you a beer! Microsoft wanted to charge me over £200 to replace a broken hard drive but after watching your tutorial all it cost me to replace it myself was the cost of a new hard drive. Your tutorial is excellent and I love the way you explain the reason for doing each step, not just how to do it, it makes it very easy to follow. Hopefully I can pass my new found knowledge on to friends or family members that have a dead xbox. Thanks again.
My XBox One S was shutting down during start up, and sometimes during a new system update via USB. Changing the HD has solved the problem. I didn't use the boot animation stage but no problems caused. Thank you for taking the time to make such a clear and useful video. I live in Vietnam and had no way to get a professional. You are a legend! Cheers mate.
Were you able to access the troubleshooting menu with the hard drive out. I'm quite desperate and I don't want to waste time to no use so I hope you reply
Just wanted to say a huge, "Thank you" for this guide! I've performed the upgrade to an SSD on my XBox One X using these steps (along with a tear-down video) and it has worked flawlessly. Very clear instructions, presented in a simple to follow, step-by-step manner. Great job and thank you again!
Rarely do I comment on TH-cam videos but this one is definitely deserving! Thank you for this. I was able to dust off an Xbox One that's been lying dormant for nearly a year! Much appreciated!
Thank you so much for this amazing tutorial saved my Xbox One when I found out the original drive died last night! Had a 500 GB SSD laying around and I slapped that in and followed this tutorial all works well so far!
Hi Andrew, great and very clear video. I followed everything to the letter, boot up from USB, it recognises the USB, makes the tone of loading the files, then I get the fourth tone and it begins to install. But then I either hear the tone of pressing the eject button or not, and then the power down tone, and then it powers down a few seconds later. Any idea? I formatted a brand new 2TB drive and everything went fine.
Initially suffering from Black Screen of Death, tried doing offline update and Had the E100 error cycling from 58%, followed your video but used repair on each partition and replaced A&B as directed. Worked perfectly, thank you so much Andrew you are a star!!!!!!!! honest and genuine Thanks.
I work in IT i recently lent my Xbox One Original to a friend who had the drive fail, we both spent a good hour or so watching and following the walkthrough. My Xbox One now has a new harddrive and works great i really appreciate the help on this, keep up the great videos much love from Missouri.
Superb guide, thanks for this. I've had XB Ones in previously with hard disk issues and could never work out the correct partitioning for them. This takes all of the guess work out and makes it much easier!
I don’t know if ur still respond to comments but I keep getting an error when I try to use the Xbox master. It keeps saying format volume : invalid parameter
This tutorial is excellent. I had trouble at first do to applying an old OSU1 file, but after going and downloading the latest version everything worked out great. Thanks!
To those recently experiencing a black screen on startup where the splash screens used to be even after copying the bootanim.dat files to folders A&B - I'm currently looking into the issue. A 2020 update for this tutorial using the latest v9 scripts is also in the works... stay tuned and many thanks for watching!
Absolutely, yes still workable. Checked the files out from the latest update and the CRC compares to the old files - everything works fine for me - splash screens etc still display.
Your awesome man. There's not much updated detailed help out there for this. Thank you for your time! I'm thinking of doing this, but it seems like people are having issues now?
Followed the guide to a t, still getting e 101. Says preparing to update but the bar doesn't even hit 1% before " something happened e101". Imyusing 1tb firecuda. Any suggestions what to try next. May try a different usb flash drive. Not sure what else to do.
I had all sorts of issues whilst trying this guide but couldn't get it to work. As I was upgrading to a bigger hdd a 2tb sized drive the initial setup on my pc worked a charm, but not connected to the Xbox. My work around was to copy the 2 folders A and B and the updater xvd file from my original Xbox drive to the 2tb hdd that was replacing the original drive and install the software that way. My Xbox one x now has the 2tb drive in and fully working. Hope this helps others having problems upgrading their hdd drives.
Brilliant. Worth every second of watching and was able to replace my dead WD hard drive with a new 1TB SSHD on my xb one s. Watched it through once and referenced it while doing the operation. Went like clockwork. Please keep up the great vids!!
I had E101, chabged my hard drive and it works then 2 weeks after that I decided to link the old Hard drive to my PC and see what happens.. it was working so i deleted all volumes then added a new volume then after that i tried to do the same steps to it linked it to my Xbox and it worked... so guys u can save some money by trying this!!
“E101 90000005 8007045D” Those r the errors i got when trying to Offline update and “0X8007045D 0x00000000 0x90000005” when I tried to do online update
Great video. My osu2 files will install completely; however, I get the "something went wrong" screen right when it starts to verify the install. Anythings from anyone?
Magnificent! I bought an Xbox one off eBay that was listed as having "no signal" so I thought I would have to do a HDMI port replacement on it, but upon booting it I heard that the HDD was struggling and figured it had to be either badly damaged or broken. Nevertheless I figured I would try replacing it, and followed your guide. Eureka! Everything now works smoothly! Thank you for your highly detailed tutorials that you have here on TH-cam!
Thank you for this amazing step by step tutorial and providing the files needed. I thought I had to send my xbox to get repair service instead I had the chance to upgrade.
My original 500gb phat console HDD died and I've been trying to replace it with a new 1TB, but the system update gets to 33% on "Applying update" / 71% overall and then returns an Error 102. Any ideas?
Hey guys sorry for the delay. I did fix it, I think by replacing with a 500 (as that was what was in it to start with) and using the recovery method, without putting any of the OS files on the drive. As soon as I put the 500 in it completed immediately. As soon as it was booted up, I started the procedure again with the 1TB and it worked fine. I think it needed the 500gb because the system had totally failed while it had a 500 in, and needed the same size to restore. That’s my guess anyway.
When trying to run the script on command after choosing the size drive I have it says "missing operand" 3 times, then MISSING DRIVE X: 'SYSTEM UPDATE'. What's gone wrong??
I have a fix, if your hard drive is "Non standard"meaning not true 2TB or 1TB, try downgrading the size allocation. Mine gave me the same error on a 2TB disk, it runs out of space before it can create drive x, so i tried 1GB and it worked!
@@Omiicron thank you very much, this just worked for me.... im in the process of fixing this xbox today after a year and a half of struggling and procrastinating...
@@MarvK84 can you tell me how did you fix it? i got xbox one (2013) and new 1 tb Seagate Barracuda HDD. and it gives error missing drive X always on script. Also i cant do offline update/ it says error E102.
Hi. guys I`m very happy about this video. My son just getting a game from grandma, he waiting 9 hours to downloading then playing about an hour the get to sleep. Today morning his xbox won`t turn on. He and dad try to fix it with everything they found on google. After hours and hours then finally dad fount this video and follow step by step and surprisingly fixed the xbox within an hour. AMAZING OUTSTANDING JOB. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!!!!
Thank you x 1000 !!! Son's XBox needed new HDD after tripping over a cable. Followed your very clear and informative instructions and bingo - It's Alive!!! IT'S ALIVE !!!! So, thank you again!
I need some help.. I did the install from a 1tb on my xbox one x to a 500gb SSD.. Everything went fine no errors or issues except that when I put in a game in the tray it takes it and then u here noises like it loading but never loads on the screen.. also if i just pick any game I have on a disc that has already been installed when I click for it on my library it ask do u own this game.. The drive is definitely not he issue because I go back to the original 1tb drive and games just start like normal..
Thank you for this awesome tutorial. Through this video I've been able to repair a XBox for one of my son's best friends, who has been going through some difficult times recently.
Thanks for the video. My HD failed last night and I had it up and running today with a Samsung 1TB SSD. The script has been updated so there are not multiple popups. I did not copy any files to the SSD but it worked just fine. I bought a cheap flash drive at the same time and expanded the update file to it. Worked like a charm. Was playing RDR2 tonight.
I have used this method on numerous consoles but I've come across one that keeps getting stuck at 85%. I've tried multiple backup tested good hard drives and same thing everytime. Anybody have and ideas?
I follow these steps perfectly with a brand new hard drive, however no matter what i do, I ALWAYS get Missing X: system update and I cannot for the life of me understand why.
Fantastic tutorial. I now have one very happy 14 year old. MS wanted £120 to do this (or replace with refurb). All it took was £30 for the HD and some clear instructions. Thank you!!
Seems to be working here mate. What browser are you using?
6 ปีที่แล้ว +1
Chrome, Edge, Internet Explorer (tried out just in case I can bypass security). Using ESET Internet Security as an AV. Gonna try with a different PC, maybe it'll work.
Dmitry Granicin you can find the OSU1 file on the Microsoft site...just Google it. I have it stored on flash myself...you should too once ya get the download. Even if it's outta date it will auto update when bootloader starts.... 🙂...just like in the video.
Just replaced my Xbox one's dead 1TB hard drive with a 2TB (January 31 2020) and it works like a charm. THANK YOU Andrew, you saved me a ton of money with this video. You sir, are the freaking MAN!
Thank you! This is the video that saved my XBox One S. The 500 Gb HDD in it failed and I couldn't figure out how to get a 500 Gb SSD to work. Finally found this video and was able to provision the drive correctly and setup the flash drive. Worked like a champ once I followed all the steps. Thanks again. Fixed my XBox One S E102 issues 4/24/2021
I sure as hell haven't on my X. Switched over to a 1Tb SSD on my GEars X and that went swimmingly, but my project scorpio X is now just a freaking paperweight.
YOU'RE A HERO! My console had been "dead" for 8 months, but I had been PC gaming instead. PGA2k21 came out and I really wanted to hit the links with my console friends so I began to search for a fix. Followed the steps here and installed a new 1TB HDD into my launch day Xbox One and it's back to life and running faster than ever. THANK YOU!!!!!
You are the man! Thank you from Washington State for the tutorial! Haven't tried it yet but once I get the guts to check it out I guess I'll know then if I followed your steps to the letter. Thanks again my man!
Solution. I followed the insruction of this video many times and still got error 101 or 102. The trick is that before you format the hard drive you need to create the MBR or Master Boot Record. Then continue following the instructions in the video
Hey man, I also followed the instructions multiple times and still got the errors some time after. Can you please tell me how to create the MBR before following the instructions of the video.
Your video saved us, when everyone, even Microsoft said that our device was a goner and we needed to repair it or buy a new one! Just make it a bit simpler and its perfect 👌 😉 Thanks once again!
Dear Andrew Paul I've said this more than once and I could say it a thousand times more man your videos, your channel, is awesome. Love the detail and work that you put into it; I can't say how much I appreciate what you do man. I couldn't fix nothing without you. I just replaced a hard drive on an Xbox One Original thanks to this video and, get this, I watched the video on another Xbox One while I was working the computer. So I used an Xbox that I fixed, thanks to one of your videos the HDMI replacement one, to fix another Xbox One, thanks to this video. You got to admit that's funny!
I am having the same issue. Nobody is helping and i've asked everyone I could think of including Microsoft themselves. Apparently you have to re-map or organize the drives for the correct drive letters. I have no idea what that means or how to do it. If you figure anything out lmk and likewise on my end.
i dont know if you still need help but it happened to me also the missing operand error so what i did was just plug the ssd/hdd back into the xbox and did the offline update and it downloaded the drives that are needed minus the animations did the setup and it went to the home dashboard. teared down my xbox again and pluged back into my laptop and the x drive was there but under a different drive letter but i just put the animation files into my system update drive and it works just fine. It drove me fucking insane.
Certainly with a new disk. If you're re-using the existing one be sure to check it for bad sectors with HDAT2 before starting - if it can't correct any errors found replace the disk.
As long as it's between 500GB and 2TB yes it'll work fine. Only caveat is that it must be formatted as either a 500GB, 1TB or 2TB disk - so for example if you only have a 750GB HDD kicking around then you can indeed still use it for the XBOX but you'd need to format it as a 500GB disk etc. Likewise a 1.5TB disk would have to be formatted as a 1TB disk and so on...
Just did this procedure and everything works 100% Your voice and instructions are good enough to teach me how to perform open heart surgery. Just one note. Some people may have to temporarily disable antivirus when downloading the xboxmasterhdd file. Well done and thanks. subbed.
Brilliant video sir. Anyone that gets the E106 error; I would recommend you go straight to using the OSU1 USB stick method. Upgraded my OG XBOX OE to a 1TB. Top work Andrew
I used your method to fix my Xbox One X. So far everything seems to work, and I'll keep testing as much as I can. Thanks a lot for the info and keep up the good work!
your sync eject method has saved the day, ive formatted the drive like 6 times now with no success as well as creating th A and B folders and the usb thumbs stick, ive replaced and upgraded tons of drives with no real problems that i couldnt overcome until recently, the xbox in question originally had a 1tb drive and i replaced it with a 500gig cuz i was gonna put the 1tb in another xbox, so the drive that was in there was a 500 gig when i decided to swap back to the 1tb and i tried so many different configurations and combinations with no success till i watched your vid, plus i think i may have been using a different command prompt script at an earlier time, i know theirs 2 or 3 different ones out. Ive been customizing xboxes since the original xbox but your video definatly saved this xbox with your sync eject button method, thank you very much
March 2020, just followed mate! Works perfectly! I saved an old xbox one which gave me errors E100 and E101, I needed to wipe out the HDD and the followed your tutorial! The script program has been updated and now has some more options that are really helpful. You saved our quarantine, cheers from Italy!!
I had E106, black screen no HDMI connection and this fixed it. I used the xbox HDD that wasnt working properly. formatted the disk and then followed the video. Never had to do the installation and veryfying. It skipped directly to the troubleshooting screen. I reset the xbox and now it is working fine. Finally installing FIFA 19. God bless you mate.
Worked flawlessly! The video is a little drawn out, but I can see how that could be helpful for less tech-inclined individuals. You could save time but executing the whole path all at once with the change directory (cd) command.
You've saved my Xbox One X. You star :) I managed to get myself into an E102 loop as the initial update that seemed to work wasn't responding to my controller, ever after resyncing, and restarting the console threw the E102. This persisted through trying to reset it. But then after unplugging it, powering up in restore mode and applying the offline update (again) from the troubleshooting screen, it worked. Thank you so much. I'd tried purchasing a new machine everywhere as it seemed to be on sale for £260, but they were all constantly out of stock. I was looking at £350+ otherwise, and even Microsoft's repair service only offered an out of warranty replacement for £260, for potentially just a refurbished console. Oh and the update script is on version 9 and has a few more options, but they're pretty self-explanatory.
went for the full 2tb upgrade after my hdd had the click of death,your step by step guide worked a treat many manythanks , got stuck once by not opening the cmd prompt as administrator very important that ;-)
Did it today with an 500mb SSD on xbox one x and it worked perfectly! Just one more step during the cmd phase / more option I pressed (a) for mine. Thank you very much for the guide 🤟
I bought a 1 tb hard drive and a usb to sata cable. Followed directions exactly and left everythig including new drive as a MBR. Installed hard drive and everything worked fine. When he says dont touch nothing listen. Follow exactly and it works. No bullshit. Thanks for being real and helping those that need this help.
Thank you. :) Indeed, MBR or GPT really shouldn't matter - if you follow this video start to finish without skipping anything or pre-empting any steps (as tempting as it might be) then this will work for you too.
Found these videos, very helpful. Instructions were easy to follow, however, I had, what seems to be a unique problem, since I can't find anything on the internet to help. During the April 2021 update, I kept getting an "oops something went wrong" error, what seems to have happened was, my BT broadband dropped to 1 Mbps at the same time the HDD was throwing up errors. I couldn't connect to Xbox Live, but everything offline works. I did the full reset, wiped everything to get it working but it failed. So, got a new HDD drive and replaced the old drive and followed the instructions as contained in the video, but as Andrew said, it looked like I was going to have to wait for a new update to be released on OSU1. But, I had a brainwave and copied the "System Update" and "System Support" files from the old drive onto the new drive and somehow it worked. Thanks Andrew for your excellent videos.
So I tried your Updated Tutorial, unfortunately that didn’t work for me. But this 3 year old video Tutorial sure did. Had to create the file structure for the Xbox One S replacement hard drive due to the old one being completely dead. Replaced it and cause a E101 error. But this tutorial fixed that and I was able to replace the hard drive with a 2TB. Thank you 3 years later xD

@@AndrewPaul what if the original drive doesn't appear when connecting to the PC, does that mean the drive is dead? No spinning click noise, just doesn't appear in windows
Possibly so. If it's not showing up in Device Manager or Disk Management then yes, that's most likely the case.

Were you able to access the troubleshooting menu with the hard drive out. I'm quite desperate and I don't want to waste time to no use so I hope you reply
Just wanted to say a huge, "Thank you" for this guide! I've performed the upgrade to an SSD on my XBox One X using these steps (along with a tear-down video) and it has worked flawlessly. Very clear instructions, presented in a simple to follow, step-by-step manner. Great job and thank you again!
Neal Tosney was upgrade worth it? Considering it myself
Rarely do I comment on TH-cam videos but this one is definitely deserving! Thank you for this. I was able to dust off an Xbox One that's been lying dormant for nearly a year!
Much appreciated!
Thank you so much for this amazing tutorial saved my Xbox One when I found out the original drive died last night! Had a 500 GB SSD laying around and I slapped that in and followed this tutorial all works well so far!
Hi Andrew, great and very clear video. I followed everything to the letter, boot up from USB, it recognises the USB, makes the tone of loading the files, then I get the fourth tone and it begins to install. But then I either hear the tone of pressing the eject button or not, and then the power down tone, and then it powers down a few seconds later. Any idea? I formatted a brand new 2TB drive and everything went fine.
This guy is a king. Thanx for the help friend, everything now works great.
Initially suffering from Black Screen of Death, tried doing offline update and Had the E100 error cycling from 58%, followed your video but used repair on each partition and replaced A&B as directed. Worked perfectly, thank you so much Andrew you are a star!!!!!!!! honest and genuine Thanks.
I work in IT i recently lent my Xbox One Original to a friend who had the drive fail, we both spent a good hour or so watching and following the walkthrough. My Xbox One now has a new harddrive and works great i really appreciate the help on this, keep up the great videos much love from Missouri.
Confirmed working in June 2020
Much appreciated!
does it work still with live
You've saved me for a second time now! lol Thanks!
March 2020. Super easy to follow. Back up and running quickly and without any trouble. XBOX ONE original. Thank you very much!
Superb guide, thanks for this. I've had XB Ones in previously with hard disk issues and could never work out the correct partitioning for them. This takes all of the guess work out and makes it much easier!
Still working 2019 dec, ty man you are the best
I don’t know if ur still respond to comments but I keep getting an error when I try to use the Xbox master. It keeps saying format volume : invalid parameter
As of Feb 11, 2021 this guide still works! Can’t thank you enough. Outstanding information.
This tutorial is excellent. I had trouble at first do to applying an old OSU1 file, but after going and downloading the latest version everything worked out great. Thanks!
tim salazar when I press offline update it says there was a problem is that what happened, how do I fix it
To those recently experiencing a black screen on startup where the splash screens used to be even after copying the bootanim.dat files to folders A&B - I'm currently looking into the issue. A 2020 update for this tutorial using the latest v9 scripts is also in the works... stay tuned and many thanks for watching!
is this still workable for the time being? I'm literally about to do this today and want to make sure I don't brick anything
Absolutely, yes still workable.
Checked the files out from the latest update and the CRC compares to the old files - everything works fine for me - splash screens etc still display.
Yea I did this the other day and I’m getting a black splash screen. Everything else works fine.
How do I download a language pack for English
Your awesome man. There's not much updated detailed help out there for this. Thank you for your time! I'm thinking of doing this, but it seems like people are having issues now?
Followed the guide to a t, still getting e 101. Says preparing to update but the bar doesn't even hit 1% before " something happened e101". Imyusing 1tb firecuda. Any suggestions what to try next. May try a different usb flash drive. Not sure what else to do.
U fix it?i have same problem
You must download the OSU1 files from Microsoft (must have the new one to work)
I had all sorts of issues whilst trying this guide but couldn't get it to work.
As I was upgrading to a bigger hdd a 2tb sized drive the initial setup on my pc worked a charm, but not connected to the Xbox.
My work around was to copy the 2 folders A and B and the updater xvd file from my original Xbox drive to the 2tb hdd that was replacing the original drive and install the software that way.
My Xbox one x now has the 2tb drive in and fully working.
Hope this helps others having problems upgrading their hdd drives.
Brilliant. Worth every second of watching and was able to replace my dead WD hard drive with a new 1TB SSHD on my xb one s. Watched it through once and referenced it while doing the operation. Went like clockwork. Please keep up the great vids!!
bought a second hand xbox 1 x and immediately i had HDD issues. 7 months later!!!! i come across this vid. tyvm my man
I had E101, chabged my hard drive and it works then 2 weeks after that I decided to link the old Hard drive to my PC and see what happens.. it was working so i deleted all volumes then added a new volume then after that i tried to do the same steps to it linked it to my Xbox and it worked... so guys u can save some money by trying this!!
“E101 90000005 8007045D”
Those r the errors i got when trying to Offline update and “0X8007045D 0x00000000 0x90000005” when I tried to do online update
Will this help im having E105 issue
Great video. My osu2 files will install completely; however, I get the "something went wrong" screen right when it starts to verify the install. Anythings from anyone?
Did you ever figure this out?
Magnificent! I bought an Xbox one off eBay that was listed as having "no signal" so I thought I would have to do a HDMI port replacement on it, but upon booting it I heard that the HDD was struggling and figured it had to be either badly damaged or broken. Nevertheless I figured I would try replacing it, and followed your guide. Eureka! Everything now works smoothly! Thank you for your highly detailed tutorials that you have here on TH-cam!
Thank you for this amazing step by step tutorial and providing the files needed. I thought I had to send my xbox to get repair service instead I had the chance to upgrade.
My original 500gb phat console HDD died and I've been trying to replace it with a new 1TB, but the system update gets to 33% on "Applying update" / 71% overall and then returns an Error 102. Any ideas?
Hey Chris,
I have the same exact problem like you.. please update me if you find any solution
Same here. Gonna redo and skip the update to see if it goes.
Update: no dice. Forces to do the update and hangs in the same spot.
Hey guys sorry for the delay. I did fix it, I think by replacing with a 500 (as that was what was in it to start with) and using the recovery method, without putting any of the OS files on the drive. As soon as I put the 500 in it completed immediately. As soon as it was booted up, I started the procedure again with the 1TB and it worked fine. I think it needed the 500gb because the system had totally failed while it had a 500 in, and needed the same size to restore. That’s my guess anyway.
@@chrise86 you just replaced your hard drive?
When trying to run the script on command after choosing the size drive I have it says "missing operand" 3 times, then MISSING DRIVE X: 'SYSTEM UPDATE'. What's gone wrong??
you ever figure it out?\
I have a fix, if your hard drive is "Non standard"meaning not true 2TB or 1TB, try downgrading the size allocation. Mine gave me the same error on a 2TB disk, it runs out of space before it can create drive x, so i tried 1GB and it worked!
@@Omiicron thank you very much, this just worked for me.... im in the process of fixing this xbox today after a year and a half of struggling and procrastinating...
@@MarvK84 can you tell me how did you fix it? i got xbox one (2013) and new 1 tb Seagate Barracuda HDD. and it gives error missing drive X always on script. Also i cant do offline update/ it says error E102.
Hi. guys I`m very happy about this video. My son just getting a game from grandma, he waiting 9 hours to downloading then playing about an hour the get to sleep. Today morning his xbox won`t turn on. He and dad try to fix it with everything they found on google. After hours and hours then finally dad fount this video and follow step by step and surprisingly fixed the xbox within an hour. AMAZING OUTSTANDING JOB. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!!!!
Thank you x 1000 !!! Son's XBox needed new HDD after tripping over a cable. Followed your very clear and informative instructions and bingo - It's Alive!!! IT'S ALIVE !!!! So, thank you again!
I also love the Kia Stinger :-)
Hands down the best car I've ever owned! Love it :-)
I need some help.. I did the install from a 1tb on my xbox one x to a 500gb SSD.. Everything went fine no errors or issues except that when I put in a game in the tray it takes it and then u here noises like it loading but never loads on the screen.. also if i just pick any game I have on a disc that has already been installed when I click for it on my library it ask do u own this game.. The drive is definitely not he issue because I go back to the original 1tb drive and games just start like normal..
Actually found solution online.. had to change power settings to energy saving and do a hard shutdown and now works fine..
@@JorgeGomez-bt9lt Cheers - that's fixed my Problem .
Thank you for this awesome tutorial. Through this video I've been able to repair a XBox for one of my son's best friends, who has been going through some difficult times recently.
Thanks for the video. My HD failed last night and I had it up and running today with a Samsung 1TB SSD. The script has been updated so there are not multiple popups. I did not copy any files to the SSD but it worked just fine. I bought a cheap flash drive at the same time and expanded the update file to it. Worked like a charm. Was playing RDR2 tonight.
I have used this method on numerous consoles but I've come across one that keeps getting stuck at 85%. I've tried multiple backup tested good hard drives and same thing everytime. Anybody have and ideas?
Did you ever get it solved?
@@btwinme same here since 6 last months, xbox stoped, anybody solved?
Same happens to me, it was also happening while trying the recovery on the original drive, i thought swapping it would fix it but it still happens
Faced the same problem. Has anyone been able to solve it ?
@@Guuuhstavo just plug your BD disc drive...
I follow these steps perfectly with a brand new hard drive, however no matter what i do, I ALWAYS get Missing X: system update and I cannot for the life of me understand why.
use older version
i had the same problem. i fixed it by reinstalling window 10
Am getting no usb or data drives found
Any help
Fantastic tutorial. I now have one very happy 14 year old. MS wanted £120 to do this (or replace with refurb). All it took was £30 for the HD and some clear instructions. Thank you!!
Excellent and clear step by step instructions. My Xbox One X is working again after having the E102 looping error. A massive thank you!
The link to the script leads to a page with outdated/bad SSL certificate, can't download.
Seems to be working here mate. What browser are you using?
Chrome, Edge, Internet Explorer (tried out just in case I can bypass security). Using ESET Internet Security as an AV. Gonna try with a different PC, maybe it'll work.
Dmitry Granicin you can find the OSU1 file on the Microsoft site...just Google it. I have it stored on flash myself...you should too once ya get the download. Even if it's outta date it will auto update when bootloader starts.... 🙂...just like in the video.
filetrip.net/dl?mKUARVKqnM is the one not working.
Downloaded to my phone and transferred to computer.
I follow this and still getting error 101 anyone know why
I’m getting ether a 100 or 101 error, still cant find why
Just replaced my Xbox one's dead 1TB hard drive with a 2TB (January 31 2020) and it works like a charm. THANK YOU Andrew, you saved me a ton of money with this video. You sir, are the freaking MAN!
Thank you! This is the video that saved my XBox One S. The 500 Gb HDD in it failed and I couldn't figure out how to get a 500 Gb SSD to work. Finally found this video and was able to provision the drive correctly and setup the flash drive. Worked like a champ once I followed all the steps. Thanks again.
Fixed my XBox One S E102 issues 4/24/2021
Do you have another link for the boot animations? Can't get them to download.
I keep getting missing drive x
Took a bit but my Xbox now has a 2TB drive! Thanks Andrew for taking the time to make this video it was extremely well documented and helpful
I love that you still have roller coaster tycoon deluxe, little additional info, that is the first video game I ever played.
Hey I follow thies Steps and I get the error e100
Me, too. Did you get it working?
Did you ever get it working??? Please respond.
I sure as hell haven't on my X. Switched over to a 1Tb SSD on my GEars X and that went swimmingly, but my project scorpio X is now just a freaking paperweight.
Files stated in step 2. are not available.... any ideas!
@Enzo Fulberti Thank you so much!
@Enzo Fulberti thanks
YOU'RE A HERO! My console had been "dead" for 8 months, but I had been PC gaming instead. PGA2k21 came out and I really wanted to hit the links with my console friends so I began to search for a fix. Followed the steps here and installed a new 1TB HDD into my launch day Xbox One and it's back to life and running faster than ever. THANK YOU!!!!!
You are the man! Thank you from Washington State for the tutorial! Haven't tried it yet but once I get the guts to check it out I guess I'll know then if I followed your steps to the letter. Thanks again my man!
Solution. I followed the insruction of this video many times and still got error 101 or 102. The trick is that before you format the hard drive you need to create the MBR or Master Boot Record. Then continue following the instructions in the video
Walid Nabahin before you format in CMD or before you format in Disk Managment
also need assistance with this!
Same here, just finished all steps, getting to the Preparing Console and it turns into 101 or 106. Happy to hear more please. Thanks
Hey man, I also followed the instructions multiple times and still got the errors some time after. Can you please tell me how to create the MBR before following the instructions of the video.
Hey, is everyone sure you need to use MBR instead of GPT? A different user below says to use GPT and I'm now very unsure.
As soon as it tries to update from the usb it says "Something went wrong" "System Error: E101" Anyone have any fixes?
same thing happens to me, did you fix it?
same, still looking for fix or issue.
Same happened to me
I did a factory reset from the troubleshoot menu. It works fine i didn't wanna do it all over again just to have the same thing happen
Check if your on Xbox insiders using a windows 10pc
Your video saved us, when everyone, even Microsoft said that our device was a goner and we needed to repair it or buy a new one! Just make it a bit simpler and its perfect 👌 😉 Thanks once again!
Dear Andrew Paul I've said this more than once and I could say it a thousand times more man your videos, your channel, is awesome. Love the detail and work that you put into it; I can't say how much I appreciate what you do man. I couldn't fix nothing without you. I just replaced a hard drive on an Xbox One Original thanks to this video and, get this, I watched the video on another Xbox One while I was working the computer. So I used an Xbox that I fixed, thanks to one of your videos the HDMI replacement one, to fix another Xbox One, thanks to this video. You got to admit that's funny!
missing drive X "system update"?
I am having the same issue. Nobody is helping and i've asked everyone I could think of including Microsoft themselves. Apparently you have to re-map or organize the drives for the correct drive letters. I have no idea what that means or how to do it. If you figure anything out lmk and likewise on my end.
@@alexmeyer3296 You mus to try again and again, i do it 3 times and then works (run the script)
i dont know if you still need help but it happened to me also the missing operand error so what i did was just plug the ssd/hdd back into the xbox and did the offline update and it downloaded the drives that are needed minus the animations did the setup and it went to the home dashboard. teared down my xbox again and pluged back into my laptop and the x drive was there but under a different drive letter but i just put the animation files into my system update drive and it works just fine. It drove me fucking insane.
run it again with the same settings. worked for me after running again.
Can this fix a Error E102
Certainly with a new disk. If you're re-using the existing one be sure to check it for bad sectors with HDAT2 before starting - if it can't correct any errors found replace the disk.
Andrew Paul so if I changed the hard drive to a laptop hard drive would that work as well?
As long as it's between 500GB and 2TB yes it'll work fine.
Only caveat is that it must be formatted as either a 500GB, 1TB or 2TB disk - so for example if you only have a 750GB HDD kicking around then you can indeed still use it for the XBOX but you'd need to format it as a 500GB disk etc. Likewise a 1.5TB disk would have to be formatted as a 1TB disk and so on...
Andrew Paul so for example if I get the seagate 2tb external hard drive would that also work for it
Jalen Sanders yes.. you will see the option to format 500, 1 terra and 2 terra...pick the letter next to 2 terra and press enter..job done.
Just did this procedure and everything works 100% Your voice and instructions are good enough to teach me how to perform open heart surgery. Just one note. Some people may have to temporarily disable antivirus when downloading the xboxmasterhdd file. Well done and thanks. subbed.
Brilliant video sir. Anyone that gets the E106 error; I would recommend you go straight to using the OSU1 USB stick method. Upgraded my OG XBOX OE to a 1TB. Top work Andrew
Cmd say " missing drive X"
Right! WTF

I just used your video to upgrade my Xbox One X to a 2tb SSD. Working great so far, I appreciate your thorough steps! Thank you!
Had a bad hdd bought a new one, followed these instructions....worked like a charm! Thanks man!
Excellent news! Enjoy :)
Great vid. Really was a big help to help me take an old ps4 hdd and get it ready for Xbox one. Couldn't have done it without this video. Thanks again.
This video is amazing!! It's super detailed and every step is shown. I can confirm it works as of June 2020
your sync eject method has saved the day, ive formatted the drive like 6 times now with no success as well as creating th A and B folders and the usb thumbs stick, ive replaced and upgraded tons of drives with no real problems that i couldnt overcome until recently, the xbox in question originally had a 1tb drive and i replaced it with a 500gig cuz i was gonna put the 1tb in another xbox, so the drive that was in there was a 500 gig when i decided to swap back to the 1tb and i tried so many different configurations and combinations with no success till i watched your vid, plus i think i may have been using a different command prompt script at an earlier time, i know theirs 2 or 3 different ones out. Ive been customizing xboxes since the original xbox but your video definatly saved this xbox with your sync eject button method, thank you very much
Confirmed working as of 14/05/2020 Xbox One! Hasn't been used in over a year till I came across this video. Thank you
March 2020, just followed mate! Works perfectly! I saved an old xbox one which gave me errors E100 and E101, I needed to wipe out the HDD and the followed your tutorial! The script program has been updated and now has some more options that are really helpful. You saved our quarantine, cheers from Italy!!
Thanks a lot, this worked exactly as advertised! I thought my Xbox was beyond repair and now it is as new 🥳
I had E106, black screen no HDMI connection and this fixed it. I used the xbox HDD that wasnt working properly. formatted the disk and then followed the video. Never had to do the installation and veryfying. It skipped directly to the troubleshooting screen. I reset the xbox and now it is working fine. Finally installing FIFA 19. God bless you mate.
Worked flawlessly! The video is a little drawn out, but I can see how that could be helpful for less tech-inclined individuals. You could save time but executing the whole path all at once with the change directory (cd) command.
You've saved my Xbox One X. You star :)
I managed to get myself into an E102 loop as the initial update that seemed to work wasn't responding to my controller, ever after resyncing, and restarting the console threw the E102. This persisted through trying to reset it. But then after unplugging it, powering up in restore mode and applying the offline update (again) from the troubleshooting screen, it worked.
Thank you so much. I'd tried purchasing a new machine everywhere as it seemed to be on sale for £260, but they were all constantly out of stock. I was looking at £350+ otherwise, and even Microsoft's repair service only offered an out of warranty replacement for £260, for potentially just a refurbished console.
Oh and the update script is on version 9 and has a few more options, but they're pretty self-explanatory.
went for the full 2tb upgrade after my hdd had the click of death,your step by step guide worked a treat many manythanks , got stuck once by not opening the cmd prompt as administrator very important that ;-)
Did it today with an 500mb SSD on xbox one x and it worked perfectly!
Just one more step during the cmd phase / more option I pressed (a) for mine.
Thank you very much for the guide 🤟
I bought a 1 tb hard drive and a usb to sata cable. Followed directions exactly and left everythig including new drive as a MBR. Installed hard drive and everything worked fine. When he says dont touch nothing listen. Follow exactly and it works. No bullshit. Thanks for being real and helping those that need this help.
Thank you. :)
Indeed, MBR or GPT really shouldn't matter - if you follow this video start to finish without skipping anything or pre-empting any steps (as tempting as it might be) then this will work for you too.
Found these videos, very helpful. Instructions were easy to follow, however, I had, what seems to be a unique problem, since I can't find anything on the internet to help. During the April 2021 update, I kept getting an "oops something went wrong" error, what seems to have happened was, my BT broadband dropped to 1 Mbps at the same time the HDD was throwing up errors. I couldn't connect to Xbox Live, but everything offline works. I did the full reset, wiped everything to get it working but it failed. So, got a new HDD drive and replaced the old drive and followed the instructions as contained in the video, but as Andrew said, it looked like I was going to have to wait for a new update to be released on OSU1. But, I had a brainwave and copied the "System Update" and "System Support" files from the old drive onto the new drive and somehow it worked. Thanks Andrew for your excellent videos.
This was super helpful! Had issues with an Xbox One S Battlefield 1 edition and this guided me through solving my E101 loop. Thanks a bunch!
So I tried your Updated Tutorial, unfortunately that didn’t work for me. But this 3 year old video Tutorial sure did. Had to create the file structure for the Xbox One S replacement hard drive due to the old one being completely dead. Replaced it and cause a E101 error.
But this tutorial fixed that and I was able to replace the hard drive with a 2TB. Thank you 3 years later xD
