#WD QUICK FORMATTER WINDOWS UPGRADE#

For example, maybe you just want to upgrade from 500GB to 2TB. This can be 5TB, 4TB, 3TB or 256GB but it can also be a standard size as well. When doing an 'Upgrade' a 2.5' HDD, SSD, or SSHD SATA target drive.

When doing an 'Upgrade' a working standard/official 2.5' 2TB, 1TB, or 500GB source drive.You can use a drive larger than 2TB but you can only partition it as 2TB. When doing a 'Repair or Replace' a 2.5' HDD, SSD, or SSHD SATA drive with a minimum capacity of 500GB.You have to be willing to open your console and potentially void the 1 year or extended warranty.Xboxonehdd-master-9.zip or use Google DriveДЄside from the scripts to partition a 2TB, 1TB, or 500GB drive you'll need or need to do the following: Officially Microsoft has defined 2TB, 1TB, and 500GB drive sizes and the latest script now supports them all. With a properly partitioned drive any console can use any size drive at any time. Reddit user A1DR1K sent a message to me on YouTube informing me that he had figured out how the Xbox One determines drive size and it isn't tied to the console itself but rather the disk GUID.

That being said, resetting your console should be a rare occurrence. While a big feature of this script is the ability to change any Xbox One to a 2TB, 1TB, or 500GB standard console that can be 'Reset' at any time, the big caveat of non-standard sizes is that performing a console 'Reset' will incorrectly format a non-standard drive requiring the recreation of a standard 2TB, 1TB, or 500GB drive. This is a bug or feature by Microsoft's design. Xbox One internal drives have a 2TB limit that you cannot get around. Internally speaking of course, externally you can attach up to 16TB. Larger 5TB, 4TB, and 3TB 2.5' hard drives have been around for some time but Microsoft has only officially supported up to 2TB drive sizes and will likely never support anything beyond this. That said, I've had a YouTube channel for about 4 years with the channel's goal being to help people upgrade or replace their existing and potentially broken Xbox One hard drive. I've sat on this particular iteration of the scripts for about a month just to be sure that others were getting the same results that I was able to achieve.

In the several years I've been doing hard drive upgrades and repairs on the Xbox One I'm not aware of a single person being banned for this practice.

These scripts should support systems using any language but particularly on Windows 10 you'll need to have 'English (United States)' installed but does not need to be the default language.ДЇor standard sizes this is NOT a hack or mod, this is a script which creates the exact hard drive structure Microsoft uses on each 2TB, 1TB, or 500GB console it sells. In short, you can go from any Xbox One internal standard/official drive size to any other 2.5' standard or non-standard drive size. Version 7 can also copy to non-standard drive sizes between 256GB and 5TB with minimum 138GB and maximum 1947GB of available storage respectively. In effect, all Xbox One consoles are potentially 2TB consoles.ДЄdditionally the newer version 7 of the Windows and Linux partitioning scripts can copy your standard/official 2TB, 1TB, or 500GB internal hard drive's content to a new standard 2TB, 1TB, or 500GB HDD, SSD, or SSHD. This is a set of scripts that allow you to create a standard/official 2TB, 1TB, or 500GB internal hard drive that works on any Xbox One, Xbox One S, or Xbox One X console and can be reset and remain at that appropriate size.

On the downside the new script only supports Windows 10 and above however, the old script is still included and slightly improved as well.ДЄs it stands there are now 3 Windows scripts to choose from and are functionally equivalent:Д¬reate_xbox_drive_gui.bat - which includes a graphical interface and is the new primary Xbox One hard drive partitioning script using PowerShell 5.1 for Windows 10 and aboveД¬reate_xbox_drive.bat - which includes a command line interface similar to the original script using PowerShell 5.1 for Windows 10 and aboveД¬reate_xbox_drive_old.bat - the original Windows Batch script supporting Windows 7 and aboveДЄlso, there is a new COMMON ISSUES section at the bottom of this thread.ДЄnyone wanting the latest and greatest news about everything Xbox One hard drive related continue reading below.
