xbox one hard drive formatting

I did try the external hard drive with good results for games but Xbox still boots from internal.

There's many reasons why one would prefer a larger internal drive versus that of an external hdd, as there are restrictions on what can and cannot be saved to an external drive. Additionally, whereas the internal drive is easily viewable should you need to view files on the drive, external drives have their first sector bits flipped, resulting in some prerequisites prior to the the drive being accessible from a PC.

I hope you work it out & good luck

Will this website (xboxonehdd-master) work for a 2TB HDD? If not what website would I have to go to for it?

How about cloning it to a bigger hard drive?

Xbox One HDD Replacement wiki (scroll to bottom): http://jw0914.github.io/Wikis/

remove HDD and clonezilla it?

If one is looking for clarification on legal terms in warranties, licenses, etc., always contact the company's legal department and not customer service/tech support, as all they're going to do is give you their "opinion" or perception of what it says, not the legal definition

One should always go to the source for clarification, not a third party. The legal department is who writes the licenses and warranties (however with the latter, it's final wording may be determined by the underwriter(s) for whichever insurance company is backing the warranty for the OEM).

If ever in doubt about a component being replaced in the Xbox One, ask one's self the following:

* If X component fails and I send the unit back to Microsoft to have it fixed, is there anything in the license that references that as being a license violation?

* If not, does the license state anywhere replacing a failed component violates the license?

If the answer to both is no, then replacing a component does not violate the software license.

Have you looked at the Wiki; however the OSUDT process be tried first

- Download OSUDT 1 & 2

- Follow OSUDT instructions for USB drive

1. Partition the HDD with xboxonehdd script, then re-run after makexboxfs, then install HDD in XB1

2. Follow OSUDT instructions for turning XB1 on

3. XB1 update will fail and once it does, power off the XB1 via the menu (if you're offered one), or by a single touch to the power button.

4. Once XB1 is fully shutdown, remove USB drive, delete all OSUDT 1 files, & copy over all files from OSUDT 2 to the USB drive's root, then plug back into the XB1

5. Repeat step 2. If the update does not auto resume, select the applicable WinRE option for updating/rebuilding.

6. The XB1 should fully update, then boot into the OOBE first setup.

I did read through the wiki, however I'm just not having any luck with this. I followed it step by step, using the scripts from your wiki. I erased all partitions the drive so it was all free space. Then I ran the script to create the partitions and verified they were all named/sized properly and were mounted. I then unmounted all partitions, ran the script again (the one that says are you sure you want to make this an xbox hdd?) Put hdd back in xb1, and booted from USB using the osudt1 file. That gave me an error e101 (incorrect update I believe) I shut it down with one press, rebooted to USB with the osudt2 file and recieved the same e101. So I shut it down again with one button press, removed hdd from xb1 and reconnected in ubuntu. I decided to try and put the update file directly on the drive like the wiki instructed, so I started with osudt1. Again, I made sure hdd was unmounted, I ran that script again (to make it an xb1 hdd, just to be safe) put back in xb1. After xb1 booted it says preparing console for a moment, then failed with e200. I removed hdd from xb1, put back in computer, copied the osudt2 files over the B folder, removed hdd and put back in xb1, and booted. E200 error again. Seems like the console is trying to apply an update, the progress bar moves rather slowly from 1% to around 44%, then jumps to 66%, then jumps to e200. I then tried using the factory reset USB tool, and recieved an e201 error. Tried osudt2 on USB and still get e201 error. When I had the hard drive in the PC I could see that several folders were created on those other partitions... I'm not sure where to go next. My is version is showing as 10586.1202.amd64fre.th2_xbox_rel_1603.160420-1900. on the Xbox support site where it tells you which files to use i don't see mine listed. Only a few of the numbers match. I'm viewing my consoles is info on the trouble shoot screen since I'm not able to get into settings.

You're mixing processes, which is adding to your problems (and I think I left something out of my last reply). It may help to explain what's occurring in each step, as I forgot to include that in my wiki:

- Each xvd is a virtual drive, and for all intents and purposes, a separate partition. Think of the updater.xvd as a windows install disk.

- In order for a subsequent update to be applied, the previous one must exist (i.e. for OSUDT2 to be applied, OSUDT1 must be installed) in an installed state on partitions 1, 3, & 4 (this is what's at the root of most issues) From my own experiences, I have a hunch this is what the E200 errors refer to, with E101s referring to either partition layout or partition 4's files (perhaps both).

- See next comment for instructions, as I'm going to run out of character space otherwise

Try this:

- Copy OSUDT1 to folders A & B, with updater.xvd on the root of partition 4 & OSUDT1 on the root of the USB

- Boot from USB. It "should" update to somewhere in the 30's then fail; Cleanly shutdown the XB1

-Delete everything in folder B, copy OSUDT2 to it, remove everything from the root of the USB, & copy OSUDT2 to usb root.

- Boot from USB, it "should" finish updating. If it doesn't, I will perform this procedure tomorrow or thurs and reply back

The wiki instructions as written do work. Due to spending hours troubleshooting different users' issues, to have it always shown the issues were due to failing to follow the instructions as written, I no longer will troubleshoot issues someone has w/ the wiki.

I'm only troubleshooting your issue specifically because I was already planning on adding the OSUDT support page section to my wiki, however once I'm able to determine the correct sequence of events, if you still have issues, you're on your own.

I'm in the preview program with the OS version 14366.1006.amd64fre.rs1_xbox_rel.1608_160617.1700 even following procedure described in the " Rebuilding OS," I can not complete step 7 and appears the error message e200 . Could you help me ?

Sorry for my English I am using Google Translate .
