Your video is exactly what I needed. Was referred to you from a video of 'Wicked RJ's Tech' channel about upgrading the drive on an X1X to SSD. I picked up broken/parts-only Xbox One X recently. No power, No HD. After installing a replacement power supply, it powered up with no trouble. To keep costs down, I wanted to reuse an SSD I already had. I tried just slapping it in and powering on the Xbox, thinking it would detect it and prep it (like I think PS3's did...). But no joy. Even tried installing the OSU, but it kept failing. Your vid and script worked perfectly! Thank you so very much for writing the killer script, creating the step-by-step vid, and sharing all of it with us! Thanks to you, I'm enjoying RDR2 in 4K! +1 sub!
Xfix and Andrew, I can't thank you enough for the great help you guys did for me at the right moment. My Xbox one S had this system update problem for the last two months (from Mar 2021). And being this covid-19 pandemic there was no other option left to send this for repair rather than doing it myself at home. I purchased my console on Sep 2019 . And the warranty had expired too ! I was really heartbroken as this console was my greatest companion during this lockdown period and myself a hardcore gamer from my childhood. I literally gave up on fixing this console as the basic troubleshooting steps really did not help and was useless at this point. It's been a month since I had proper food, looking at my dead console lying at one corner in a helpless situation. Somehow I managed and tried a lot many times on youtube to find a perfect solution for this problem and it was that moment (couple of weeks back) I came across your videos. Man you were just like God sent prodigals to me ..love you people for explaining the issue so neatly and allowing me to follow the steps one by one . Unfortunately I din have my 2.5 inch SATA to HDD connector. So I placed an order and waited for the delivery. Considering this pandemic period, patience is the key to anything. And within 5 days I got the product and straightaway went and opened the console and unplugged the internal hdd and followed the steps cautiously one by one. And today, Right now the console is back to life. and faith has been restored . I know a simple thankyou won't suffice for this humongous process you guys explained so patiently to all other people who suffered the same problem with their console. This is my email id . siddarthchandran93@gmail.com. Do drop me a mail or send me a 'Hi' with your Instagram ID or whichever social media platform you guys are available , other than youtube. ~With loads of love and respect from India 🇮🇳❤️
Worked like a charm! got the hard drive from amazon for $35 and the cable to connect it for $11 making this job cost less than $50 total. had to go elsewhere to learn how to get into the xbox and switch out the drives which wasnt bad... flawless instructional video. thanks!
MY XB1X WAS AN CRAPPY,I REPASTED,AND DECIDED TO ADD AN SSD INTERNAL AS STORAGE BY FOLLOWING YOUR STEPS,I LEARNED SOME NEW WAYS TO QUICKLY NAVIGATE THROUGH POWERSHELL NOW.BRO IM INSTALLING THE USB OS1 NOW AND IM THANKFUL U WALKED US THROUGH THIS!!!!!!THANK YOU HOW CAN WE SUPPORT YOU??????
amazing. I was updating xbox (original) and hangs. corrupted. try everything, OSU1, OSU2, OSU3... every single advice on internet, forums, tutorials. Your script save my life (BTW good GUI in the new version!). partitioned, created the 2 folders, copy the files. Reboot the Xbox with the OSU1 USB and restored to factory defaults. Thanks very much!!
Thanks a lot! My Xbox one (OG version) have some problems loading textures like overwatch, sometimes gears, even after resetting and reinstalling everything. Sometimes reinstalling works good but later start to show the same problem not loading all textures on first match. So I got a temporary usb 3.0 and now everything is fine. Probably the internal hdd is the problem. Will try to find a replacement and try your guide.
yes. once the hdd ius partitioned and inserted in the Xbox, you setup your osu1 USB with ntfs and connect the USB to the Xbox. power on and perform the offline update. the Xbox will load the files from the USB to the hdd.
So I just finished running the game loading benchmarks on 4 different drives on the Xbox one s. Just hooked up my Xbox one x today and had extra updates for certain games. Should be opening up the Xbox one x tomorrow and testing the other 3 drives. I'll post a link when I've ran all of the benchmarks, edited the videos and uploaded them to TH-cam. Should be uploaded by Saturday.
Sounds great. I'll be sure to link to it somewhere or I'll just make a video and point to yours. I've only benchmarked the X so far and at the rate I'm going it will be another week or 2 before I can get to the S or OG.
XFiX Hey just hooked up my Xbox one x stock drive to my computer and the unallocated portion is reading 22.57gb. Wonder if Microsoft is making changes. The only thing that I have done is the initial system update. Hopefully this won't affect anything.
XFiX ot seems that the stock drive is registering smaller available space compared to all of the other drives. Other drives are registering 931.51gb and the stock drive is registering 903.57gb.
Yeah, basically the One X uses a smaller 1TB drive (ST1000LM035) than previous models. I guess this is why they used 781GB for "User Content" and left 50.51 GB (now 22.57 GB) unallocated. All 5 partition sizes are still the same and that's what really matters.
I would much rather you recommend the HGST 7K1000 as it's a 1tb 7200rpm drive for less than $10 more than that 500gb WD drive. On top of that, HGST is owned by WD, so you're getting WD quality at a cheaper price and double the storage at the same performance. Just used one to upgrade my system and it's amazing.
Since you are making new videos, you should know that the latest version of the OSU1 has more files than the previous versions. I discovered that this weekend when my nephews Xbox Hard Drive crashed during the April update. I opened it up, re-partitioned the drive, and just copied all the files to A/B folders. Even then, I still had to use the offline update to get it working again.
Thank you for the heads up and as you pointed out, "I still had to use the offline update to get it working again". I'm not using the A and B from OSU1 method any more. Far too unreliable. I'll be just formatting the drive, leaving it empty, resetting when appropriate, and doing the offline update as you probably had to do.
My nephews Xbox was getting stuck at 85%. That's when I opened it up and discovered the hard drive crashed. Specifically, the hard's partitions were gone and Windows was reading it as a raw unpartitioned drive. Yours could be a similar situation.
Try doing the offline firmware update. That's what I had to do to get it working again. Plus based on what XFiX says, copying the files straight to the drive no longer works. So either way, you now have to do an offline update to replace/fix the Xbox One's HDD. Beyond that, I'm out of ideas, save for sending it in for repairs.
Excellent video. I followed it perfectly. New wd 1tb sata hdd. Put back and stalls at 6%. E106. Restarts and then e101. Just loops, I tried reformatting. Same end result. Any advice would be appreciated. Cheers from South Africa
Just want to say how helpful your videos are, helped me upgrade my Xbox one S to a 1TB after the hardrive started giving me issues. Bought the 1TB that @tman2damax suggested. And so far it’s going good 🤙🏽 thank you !
If I take the drive out of one xbox 1 and swap it to another can I just turn it on or is there something I have to do? There both 500 gb, I have one that got burned up the shell is in bad shape but I have one with a bad drive good shell pm me possibly?
I forgot to add that when I disconnect the 500GB HD and connect back to my PC, it shows in disk management as 16384.00 GB Healthy (GPT Protective Partition). Is this normal?
This has been on my list for a while. I have a Viper Dual Nand I'd like to install on 2 Trinity systems and people have been asking about creating Xbox 360 drives. Also, I have 2 orginal Xbox 1.6 systems with Aladdin XT Plus 2 chips yet to be installed. There's more as well, I just didn't expect to get so much life out of Xbox One videos.
You may have mentioned it and I apologize for it - but when I plug the hard drive (original), to do a repair; What do I do when windows detects drive error? It's on two of the five partitions. Should I have windows fix it or no?
jeremye02 is it asking to scan for errors or is it requesting to format the partition? The former is expected from time to time while the latter may be a sign of further drive issues.
XFiX it says something like "found errors...would you like windows to automatically fix them..." Not exactly those words. But, it never mentioned format. I canceled it, but I kinda figured it wouldn't hurt, since it's all Microsoft. Just wanted to hear from you first.
Got it. Yes, it is safe to let Windows scan the drive for errors. The Windows Partitioning script even has a mode for this: (f) Check all partitions for file system errors This is very typical when using Instant-on mode since it is highly likely that a power outage or inadvertent unplugging of the system will leave a drive in this state. More often than not, nothing will actually need to be fixed after running the scan.
Yeah, Western Digital still makes great drives. I've always preferred these over Seagate since the late 90's. That said, I've seen plenty of failures from both manufactures but in terms of lifespan I'd go with Western Digital.
@xfix do you still offer this service? I've looked on eBay and can't seem to find your service. I would be interested in a 2tb with thumb drive. Ive already replaced the hard drive sata cable on my console but it didn't fix the issue. My Xbox turns on but doesn't do anything, I get no signal to the tv/hdmi nor will my router recognize my xbox anymore. The router is a Netgear Nighthawk gaming router.
How often do they update the OSU1 Right now my OS Version: 19041.1579.amd64fre.vb_RELEASE_XBOX_DEV_2004.200331-0000 and it wont allow me to Offline Update (yes I did the flash drive correctly) The OSU1 currently available is 2-20-2020. I assume I have to wait for the newest OSU1 for it to flash properly. This is so maddening!

I just received my new 1 TB internal HD. I plugged it in via hard drive caddy and my computer is saying i must "initialize disk before Logical Disk Manager can access it" then giving me option of partition file of GPT or MBR. What is proper step?
Hello, thanks for the video but I have a problem having the required results. I bought an Xbox one S with no HD. Bought a WD 500GB but after following your videos, it would not work. I was wondering if the xbox I had initially come with a 2 or 1tb HD, and perhaps it's preventing me from using a 500GB? Is that possible - can a dashboard be expecting a certain storage capacity? Please help. When I follow your steps, I am blocked at the offline update. It just would not update. Thank you.
great video! i do need a bit of help if you can :). Doing all the steps. when connected everything back and tried to select USB from xbone, i get "Something went wrong" Error E101 000005048B050041. did i miss something?
i followed exactly but at the end when it does its partitions i have " Missing Drive X : 'System Update' " and my pc cant see the drives as they dont have Drive letters .. if i assign drive letters then it just askes me to reformat the drives partitons .
XFiXyes it’s a 500 gb drive .. ok so strange i repeated same process on my daughters windows 10 laptop and the script found Drive X , partitioned and labled correctly allowing me to access the drives in my computer .. . why did it work on my daughters lap top and not my PC ?? strange .. both windows 10 Put drive back in to xbox and attepting to Offline update .. Verifying is taking almost an hour though is that strange ?
XFiX all fixed ..after my daughters lap top script worked and found drive x . I had to transfer the osu1 files in to A folder then transfers out update file in to AB directory and then copy all of A in to B and it was successful , Clean install The only thing that didn’t work was the logo bin didn’t work but not bothered by that
Hey XFiX, my latest Xbox One online update (March 28th )failed. I got stuck on Verifying Update at 85%...I figured out that something is wrong with the HDD. I've taken the disk out, connected to my Win10 PC and run your Formatting/Partitioning script. Successfully copied the bootanim into folders, etc...When I plugged the HDD back into Xbox, I got the E106. So far so good...After I try to run the Offline Update, it fails. The green bar for Offline update moves slightly then exits with the E101 code. I've tried all OSU1,2,3 versions. Same thing. Now, what it's interesting is, that my Xbox OS version shown next to the error is newer than any OS versions I see on the Xbox official Release website. It looks like the Online update somehow updated the OS version - and later failed. Would that be the reason why the Offline Update doesn't work, as the OSU is outdated? Many thanks, Hemo
It's possible the OSU1 is behind. May need to download again and check the file timestamps to see if they change. The other possibility is that you are in the dashboard preview program? Usually you'd know if you were in the preview program since you have to sign up. Unfortunately they do not release offline versions of the preview dashboards and you'd have to wait for the OSU1 to catch up.
@@mpdavig I just figured out my device is a part of Beta preview. It's preview patched, so the only option now I have is to wait for the General Release. Thanks again, and good luck.
I would suggest copying all your data from the current drive to the new 2TB drive. This video is one of my older ones. Check out this video where I try to roadmap your options and choice selections: th-cam.com/video/5sSD2kzCV8A/w-d-xo.html
I think u helped me I’ve been stuck for weeks n I just got this one x hadn’t played much but apparently my update got interrupted 🤦🏾🤦🏾🤦🏾🤦🏾 that’s y I tell ppl leave my precious alone anyway just waitin. While I extract the file onto the flash drive then puttin it in xbox
I've been trying this method with the HDD 6.1 set up. I have a 500gb ssd drive I'm trying to get going. My original HDD was wiped clean. I can get the script up and running. But when it's finished it says no drives found. Also when running the scripts the calculator pops up numerous times and is somehow connected to the formatting side. I've also tried on PowerShell. Been at this for two days
My OG Xbox is stuck on the update step 3, and it keeps blinking the image every 15 seconds, can you help me? I did exactly as you showed on the video, it's a 1tb seagate st1000lm035
What percentage is it getting to? By blinking do you mean restarting? My stock answer is to reset then try to update again but please make sure the Blu-ray drive is connected and you can still insert and eject discs. In fact, put a disc in when you start the update again.
@@mpdavig how much do you charge for me to send you my 2tb drive for xbox one and you make drive and send it back to me? I did not see your name on ebay
I've accidentally deleted the content within the hard drive of the Xbox One how can you get the contacts back and if so can you show me a video on step by step on how to do this and if so my hard drive just needs to be wiped and reformatted back again cuz there was corrupt data on it trying to do it by myself and I messed up
Small fix to the create_xbox_drive.bat file. The RegExp in the drive detection needs to account for the upper case letter in Disk to work - at least on my installation. for /f "tokens=*" %%A in ('%XBO_DISKPART% /s %XBO_DP_SCRIPT% ^| findstr /b /r /c:" *[A-Za-z?]* *[0-9]" ^| find /c " "') do (set XBO_DRIVE_COUNT=%%A)
Interesting. What is the exact Windows version you are using (output of winver) and are you running the script from PowerShell or CMD? There is an /i option but it was believed this only applied to non-character classes and character classes apply to upper and lower characters.
You're gonna need to edit the firmware on the drive to show up as 500GB then. That's only workaround I can think of that'll work. You know same thing that is done to fake capacity SD cards. Though don't know how the xbox will handle writing data above the actual capacity.
Hi david, how do you do that? i cant find a youtube tutorial, or i dont understand how to look out for that, sorry for my english im from Argentina. Thanks a lot!
That's because it's usually done for illegal purposes. Not in this situation. Flashing firmware isn't illegal, it's how many use that for profits that is. And this is only a guess that will still work for the xbox one.
Yes and there are several methods to do this while also keeping your data: gbatemp.net/threads/xbox-one-internal-hard-drive-upgrade-or-repair-build-any-size-drive-that-works-on-any-console.496212/
what if it just restarts instead of resetting every time. I did this on a separate hdd and it still doesn't want to factory reset nor update on the usb.
I bought an Xbox from ebay but it has this error, it's the original hard disk and it's an os version from October 2017: 16299.3036.amd64fre.rs3_release_xbox_dev_1710.171020-1745 I get error E106 when I boot and I've tried everything. When I update offline with the troubleshooting menu or skip It by holding the on button for 2 more beeps it starts updating and when it finishes with the first step of updating I get error E101. What is the source of this error? I've done all the troubleshooting, Ive even repartitioned the hard drive EDIT The Blu Ray drive is completely functional, I've tested the update with a disc inside but it still gives e101 after 1 percent of checking update
I have looked everywhere on the internet but I always ended up here thinking you could help me, can you please give me any sign that you've read this message?
Yeah, it's hard for me to troubleshoot each case. It's because of your comments that I'm able to realize what areas I have to be clearer, more descriptive, and generally improve on. Sounds like you definitely need a reset before the offline update.
bootanim.dat isn’t included with OSU1. So after you get your system up and running again the boot animation will still be missing. Optionally you can re-add it after you have the system running again or wait for the next online update which will re-add the boot animation for you.
Even the Xbox ONE X only has SATA 2 interface. SATA 2 has about 375MB/s theoretical bandwidth. Xbox ONE X only achieves about 60MB/s throughput (physical HDD can do about 140MB/s) and ONE S opnly does about 40MB/s... So there is something wrong with the Xbox bus system. Only reason to change the internal drive is for REPAIR. Internal SSD would be a waste of money and time. My 500gb squeals sometimes so I MIGHT do a SSHD to help with boot times. Put all your games on an external drive and hide it behind the system if you don't want it visible...
Hi thx for the video I did 3 drives and it worked great I try to do a 4th drive a week later and now I get a message missing x drive and now it's not working?
@@thabangmolele6613 I purchased a new drive but my laptop has been acting up it might be an issue with my computer. Imma try again with another machine
XFiX Im probably gonna upgrade my stock 1TB HDD in my Xbox One X to a 1TB SSD and maybe run an external SSD for added storage down the road. It seems pretty zippy as it is but I can only imagine it'll be even faster yet if I upgrade to a SSD
Sounds like you are trying to build a new 2TB from scratch but didn't reset your system or maybe you are using a preview dashboard or maybe you don't have the newest OSU1. In any case I have a new script releasing this week which will better help you: 1. You can hook up the 500GB and 2TB to Windows at the same time and copy one to the other. 2. You can hook up one drive at a time, copy the 500GB drive contents to a local Windows drive then later hookup the 2TB drive and copy the contents to it. 3. Hookup the 500GB drive and only Backup the "System Update" partition. Create an empty 2TB drive install it get the E106 error. Reset the system. Pull the drive and Restore the "System Update" partition to the 2TB drive. Reinstall the 2TB drive and you should be rolling. I'm going to have a video for each process releasing this week if you can hold off a little longer.
@@mpdavig I'm having the exact same thing can format new drive and usb. Can install the update no issue can verify the update without issue but once it reboots to apply the system just says 3 percent and 58 or 59 over all and continually reboots never applying the update. I have been trying everything and always this happens. I read many others having exact same issue but no one understand it's not the usb since well beyond that point. No errors are given and it happens exactly at the apply stage. Using latest osu1 and version 7 scripts. If you Google 58 or 59 percent and osu1 you will see others with same issue but no one has an answer.

If I take the drive out of one xbox 1 and swap it to another can I just turn it on or is there something I have to do? There both 500 gb, I have one that got burned up the shell is in bad shape but I have one with a bad drive good shell pm me possibly?
I forgot to add that when I disconnect the 500GB HD and connect back to my PC, it shows in disk management as 16384.00 GB Healthy (GPT Protective Partition). Is this normal?
So it's not the hard drive. Is there anyway to fix the flash memory on the Xbox itself?
Hi, im using windows 7 and I'm using crear_xbox_drive_old.bat. when it finishes, the last lines are "missing drive X: 'System Update'"
Love these tutorials. Wish you can do Xbox 360 videos too. Maybe both. RGH/JTAG or Retail. 😊
This has been on my list for a while. I have a Viper Dual Nand I'd like to install on 2 Trinity systems and people have been asking about creating Xbox 360 drives.
Also, I have 2 orginal Xbox 1.6 systems with Aladdin XT Plus 2 chips yet to be installed.
There's more as well, I just didn't expect to get so much life out of Xbox One videos.
You may have mentioned it and I apologize for it - but when I plug the hard drive (original), to do a repair; What do I do when windows detects drive error? It's on two of the five partitions. Should I have windows fix it or no?
**This is after the repair.
jeremye02 is it asking to scan for errors or is it requesting to format the partition? The former is expected from time to time while the latter may be a sign of further drive issues.
XFiX it says something like "found errors...would you like windows to automatically fix them..." Not exactly those words. But, it never mentioned format. I canceled it, but I kinda figured it wouldn't hurt, since it's all Microsoft. Just wanted to hear from you first.
Got it. Yes, it is safe to let Windows scan the drive for errors.
The Windows Partitioning script even has a mode for this:
(f) Check all partitions for file system errors
This is very typical when using Instant-on mode since it is highly likely that a power outage or inadvertent unplugging of the system will leave a drive in this state. More often than not, nothing will actually need to be fixed after running the scan.
Quick question!! Would an 860 EVO V-NAND SSD SATA internal drive work?
Definitely. I highly recommend Samsung drives they never fail and are top of the line.
Great video!
funny, i have this same WD 500GB Black hacked into my Xbox 360.. Still works fine!
Yeah, Western Digital still makes great drives. I've always preferred these over Seagate since the late 90's.
That said, I've seen plenty of failures from both manufactures but in terms of lifespan I'd go with Western Digital.

@xfix do you still offer this service? I've looked on eBay and can't seem to find your service. I would be interested in a 2tb with thumb drive. Ive already replaced the hard drive sata cable on my console but it didn't fix the issue. My Xbox turns on but doesn't do anything, I get no signal to the tv/hdmi nor will my router recognize my xbox anymore. The router is a Netgear Nighthawk gaming router.
How often do they update the OSU1 Right now my OS Version: 19041.1579.amd64fre.vb_RELEASE_XBOX_DEV_2004.200331-0000 and it wont allow me to Offline Update (yes I did the flash drive correctly) The OSU1 currently available is 2-20-2020. I assume I have to wait for the newest OSU1 for it to flash properly. This is so maddening!

I just received my new 1 TB internal HD. I plugged it in via hard drive caddy and my computer is saying i must "initialize disk before Logical Disk Manager can access it" then giving me option of partition file of GPT or MBR. What is proper step?
Hello, thanks for the video but I have a problem having the required results. I bought an Xbox one S with no HD. Bought a WD 500GB but after following your videos, it would not work. I was wondering if the xbox I had initially come with a 2 or 1tb HD, and perhaps it's preventing me from using a 500GB? Is that possible - can a dashboard be expecting a certain storage capacity?
Please help. When I follow your steps, I am blocked at the offline update. It just would not update. Thank you.
great video! i do need a bit of help if you can :). Doing all the steps. when connected everything back and tried to select USB from xbone, i get "Something went wrong" Error E101 000005048B050041. did i miss something?
The set up worked, however I get an E101 error when I try and run the OSU1. What should I do?
i followed exactly but at the end when it does its partitions i have " Missing Drive X : 'System Update'
" and my pc cant see the drives as they dont have Drive letters .. if i assign drive letters then it just askes me to reformat the drives partitons .
Is the drive smaller than 500GB?
XFiXyes it’s a 500 gb drive .. ok so strange i repeated same process on my daughters windows 10 laptop and the script found Drive X , partitioned and labled correctly allowing me to access the drives in my computer .. . why did it work on my daughters lap top and not my PC ?? strange .. both windows 10
Put drive back in to xbox and attepting to Offline update .. Verifying is taking almost an hour though is that strange ?
XFiX all fixed ..after my daughters lap top script worked and found drive x . I had to transfer the osu1 files in to A folder then transfers out update file in to AB directory and then copy all of A in to B and it was successful , Clean install The only thing that didn’t work was the logo bin didn’t work but not bothered by that
Hey XFiX, my latest Xbox One online update (March 28th )failed. I got stuck on Verifying Update at 85%...I figured out that something is wrong with the HDD.
I've taken the disk out, connected to my Win10 PC and run your Formatting/Partitioning script. Successfully copied the bootanim into folders, etc...When I plugged the HDD back into Xbox, I got the E106. So far so good...After I try to run the Offline Update, it fails. The green bar for Offline update moves slightly then exits with the E101 code. I've tried all OSU1,2,3 versions. Same thing.
Now, what it's interesting is, that my Xbox OS version shown next to the error is newer than any OS versions I see on the Xbox official Release website. It looks like the Online update somehow updated the OS version - and later failed. Would that be the reason why the Offline Update doesn't work, as the OSU is outdated?
Many thanks,
Hemo
It's possible the OSU1 is behind. May need to download again and check the file timestamps to see if they change. The other possibility is that you are in the dashboard preview program? Usually you'd know if you were in the preview program since you have to sign up. Unfortunately they do not release offline versions of the preview dashboards and you'd have to wait for the OSU1 to catch up.
@@mpdavig I just figured out my device is a part of Beta preview. It's preview patched, so the only option now I have is to wait for the General Release.
Thanks again, and good luck.
@xfix how much do you charge to do a original 2tb drive if i send it to you? I did not see your name on ebay
My eBay link is in the video description but I'll link it here as well:

Oh my god you're amazing!
keeps telling me missing drive x
I have 2TB SSD and I want to use it for my internal storage. What option would I use? A or B? I'm confused on the meanings of the options.
I would suggest copying all your data from the current drive to the new 2TB drive. This video is one of my older ones. Check out this video where I try to roadmap your options and choice selections:

Can I swap my Xbox one internal hard drive to my Xbox one s?
Is this possible on a mac
I've been trying this method with the HDD 6.1 set up. I have a 500gb ssd drive I'm trying to get going. My original HDD was wiped clean. I can get the script up and running. But when it's finished it says no drives found. Also when running the scripts the calculator pops up numerous times and is somehow connected to the formatting side. I've also tried on PowerShell. Been at this for two days
Also it doesn't work with the win command. I put the create Xbox drive directly in windows system 32 folder
How do I purchase a already formatted hard drive for my Xbox one from you ?
I need a Xbox one gen 1 formated internel drive. I don't know the difference between Xbox X and S. I just need a new drive for gen 1
i used this guide to upgrade internal drive to a new 1TB drive... works perfect but after a system update it stucks after applying update.... tips?
My OG Xbox is stuck on the update step 3, and it keeps blinking the image every 15 seconds, can you help me? I did exactly as you showed on the video, it's a 1tb seagate st1000lm035
What percentage is it getting to? By blinking do you mean restarting?
My stock answer is to reset then try to update again but please make sure the Blu-ray drive is connected and you can still insert and eject discs. In fact, put a disc in when you start the update again.
@@mpdavig how much do you charge for me to send you my 2tb drive for xbox one and you make drive and send it back to me? I did not see your name on ebay
Erm all I see when I try to do this is red writing and it fails.... help?????
whats your ebay link , would like to purchase 1tb xbox one for spare just in case hd fails
Hi,
Will I able to do this for my 1TB SSHD ?
I've accidentally deleted the content within the hard drive of the Xbox One how can you get the contacts back and if so can you show me a video on step by step on how to do this and if so my hard drive just needs to be wiped and reformatted back again cuz there was corrupt data on it trying to do it by myself and I messed up
Is it possible too make a 1tb internal hard drive into a 8tb hard drive
Small fix to the create_xbox_drive.bat file. The RegExp in the drive detection needs to account for the upper case letter in Disk to work - at least on my installation.
for /f "tokens=*" %%A in ('%XBO_DISKPART% /s %XBO_DP_SCRIPT% ^| findstr /b /r /c:" *[A-Za-z?]* *[0-9]" ^| find /c " "') do (set XBO_DRIVE_COUNT=%%A)
Interesting. What is the exact Windows version you are using (output of winver) and are you running the script from PowerShell or CMD? There is an /i option but it was believed this only applied to non-character classes and character classes apply to upper and lower characters.
Yeah if I have a Xbox one S that has a 500 gb hard drive and I want to put a 1TB can it be done
I don’t want to put no more than 1TB not any thing more than that would this be fine and working right
I have a Xbox one with 500 gb can I upgrade to 1 tb just have you formatted then send to me
u saved my life!!
interesting. I thought the bootanimation was tied to the motherboard
Keeps telling me missing drive x I dont know how to fix and really would like to learn how to fix it
can you do this with a 320gb harddrive just because I have one from my laptop that I don't use
I think it has to be at least 500 for internal
I'm using the preview dash what do I do
Can i use a external hard disk as osu drive??
You should be able to as long as the drive is formatted as NTFS.
XFiX Thanks brother.
Uhhh im in an emergency, can i use a smaller drive 320gb. I see the script calls 500 1 tb 2tb but im hurting right now
You're gonna need to edit the firmware on the drive to show up as 500GB then. That's only workaround I can think of that'll work.
You know same thing that is done to fake capacity SD cards. Though don't know how the xbox will handle writing data above the actual capacity.
Hi david, how do you do that? i cant find a youtube tutorial, or i dont understand how to look out for that, sorry for my english im from Argentina. Thanks a lot!
That's because it's usually done for illegal purposes. Not in this situation. Flashing firmware isn't illegal, it's how many use that for profits that is. And this is only a guess that will still work for the xbox one.
Can this work for an 960Gb Kingston SSD?
Yes, it will format as a 1TB drive. I have a 960GB in my One X. Microsoft left 50GB unallocated on the 1TB standard partition layout.
so if i have 1tb sata installed can i replace with 500gb ssd?
Yes and there are several methods to do this while also keeping your data:

Hey my xbox one s stuck on applying updates at 85% any advice?
Yes, usually the only option you have in this case is to choose the Reset console option and then start the update again.
what if it just restarts instead of resetting every time. I did this on a separate hdd and it still doesn't want to factory reset nor update on the usb.
No luck. Was trying to fix a E305error code. System said preparing console and then went to a E101 error code.
Me too, did you manage to fix it?
Need to get my xbox one s to you for repairs.
I bought an Xbox from ebay but it has this error, it's the original hard disk and it's an os version from October 2017: 16299.3036.amd64fre.rs3_release_xbox_dev_1710.171020-1745
I get error E106 when I boot and I've tried everything. When I update offline with the troubleshooting menu or skip It by holding the on button for 2 more beeps it starts updating and when it finishes with the first step of updating I get error E101. What is the source of this error? I've done all the troubleshooting, Ive even repartitioned the hard drive
EDIT
The Blu Ray drive is completely functional, I've tested the update with a disc inside but it still gives e101 after 1 percent of checking update
I have looked everywhere on the internet but I always ended up here thinking you could help me, can you please give me any sign that you've read this message?
Yeah, it's hard for me to troubleshoot each case.
It's because of your comments that I'm able to realize what areas I have to be clearer, more descriptive, and generally improve on.
Sounds like you definitely need a reset before the offline update.
says no sata drive found please help
do I need a boot animation.zip for the xboxonehdd-master 8
bootanim.dat isn’t included with OSU1. So after you get your system up and running again the boot animation will still be missing. Optionally you can re-add it after you have the system running again or wait for the next online update which will re-add the boot animation for you.
@@mpdavig much thanks. Good info
@@mpdavig will xboxonehdd-master 8 work with the xbox one x?
@@Joysingod yea!
Thank you sir
Can i use 480 GB SSD ?
Even the Xbox ONE X only has SATA 2 interface. SATA 2 has about 375MB/s theoretical bandwidth. Xbox ONE X only achieves about 60MB/s throughput (physical HDD can do about 140MB/s) and ONE S opnly does about 40MB/s... So there is something wrong with the Xbox bus system. Only reason to change the internal drive is for REPAIR. Internal SSD would be a waste of money and time. My 500gb squeals sometimes so I MIGHT do a SSHD to help with boot times. Put all your games on an external drive and hide it behind the system if you don't want it visible...
Is the xbox faster ??? on ssd ???
Yes.
Hi thx for the video I did 3 drives and it worked great I try to do a 4th drive a week later and now I get a message missing x drive and now it's not working?
Hy do you repair old drives or purchase a new drive ?
@@thabangmolele6613 I purchased a new drive but my laptop has been acting up it might be an issue with my computer. Imma try again with another machine
Blurry as hell video, you also say download the link below....there are 5 links below...which one is it?
Does this method work with SSD's?
Yes, 2.5" SSD drives at 500GB, 1TB, or 2TB in size
XFiX Im probably gonna upgrade my stock 1TB HDD in my Xbox One X to a 1TB SSD and maybe run an external SSD for added storage down the road. It seems pretty zippy as it is but I can only imagine it'll be even faster yet if I upgrade to a SSD
I think Microsoft Updates Kills hard drives, it sucks
My hard drive was perfect yesterday but after the update, it couldn´t update
Great video! Did this with a 1TB drive, and I keep getting stuck at 58% on a reinstall. Has anyone had that happen?
Well I get stuck at 57% on a 2TB. A 500GB drive does work. Not sure what to do other than maybe do the 500GB batch process and then resize afterwards?
Sounds like you are trying to build a new 2TB from scratch but didn't reset your system or maybe you are using a preview dashboard or maybe you don't have the newest OSU1.
In any case I have a new script releasing this week which will better help you:
1. You can hook up the 500GB and 2TB to Windows at the same time and copy one to the other.
2. You can hook up one drive at a time, copy the 500GB drive contents to a local Windows drive then later hookup the 2TB drive and copy the contents to it.
3. Hookup the 500GB drive and only Backup the "System Update" partition. Create an empty 2TB drive install it get the E106 error. Reset the system. Pull the drive and Restore the "System Update" partition to the 2TB drive. Reinstall the 2TB drive and you should be rolling.
I'm going to have a video for each process releasing this week if you can hold off a little longer.
@@mpdavig I'm having the exact same thing can format new drive and usb. Can install the update no issue can verify the update without issue but once it reboots to apply the system just says 3 percent and 58 or 59 over all and continually reboots never applying the update. I have been trying everything and always this happens. I read many others having exact same issue but no one understand it's not the usb since well beyond that point. No errors are given and it happens exactly at the apply stage. Using latest osu1 and version 7 scripts. If you Google 58 or 59 percent and osu1 you will see others with same issue but no one has an answer.
Erreur e100 ?
Man, am I the only one that pulled trojans out of this? I found like three of them. From the OSU1 file specifically
Damn thats messed up
