Xbox One Windows and Linux Internal Hard Drive Partitioning Script 9.0


¿Quieres enterarte al momento de las nuevas descargas? Síguenos en Twitter o Mastodon!

Creates a properly partitioned Xbox One hard drive. You'll want to source the
entire original drive files or use the latest OSU1 files.

Features:

  1. Create a Standard Xbox One 500GB, 1TB, or 2TB internal hard drive
  2. Upgrade a Standard Xbox One drive to non-standard sizes including as small as 138GB, as large as 1947GB, and other non-standard sizes
  3. Set Standard Xbox One GUID values w/o formatting the drive
  4. Backup "System Update" to current directory System_Update and more
  5. Restore "System Update" from current directory System_Update and more
  6. Check all partitions for file system errors using chkdsk
  7. Wipe drive of all partitions and GUID values

This script is a direct replacement to create_xbox_drive.sh for Linux and tested on Windows 7 and 10.

You'll need some sort of USB to SATA device or have the ability to connect a SATA drive directly to your PC. I recommend the USB3S2SAT3CB USB 3.0 to SATA adapter cable.

NOTE 1: You need to run this script from an Administrator Command Prompt  using the "Run as administrator" feature.

NOTE 2: For this script to work on non-English Windows systems
        C:\Windows\System32\en-US needs to be present.
        Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Language\Add languages
        English (United States)

NOTE 3: Click "Cancel" or "X" on any "You need to format the disk in drive ?:
        before you can use it." messages.

NOTE 4: diskmgmt.msc is your friend. Keep it open while running this script
        to check progress and verify proper partitioning and formatting.

WARNING 1: Only have one Xbox One or future Xbox One drive connected when
           running this script to ensure the right drive gets formatted and
           avoid Offline signature collisions!

           This means disconnecting the SOURCE drive after:
           (b) Replace/Upgrade keeping original drive data
           but before:
           (c) Fix GUID values w/o formatting the drive
           When redoing the entire process run this step on the TARGET with
           the SOURCE disconnected:
           (g) Wipe drive of all partitions and GUID values

WARNING 2: Always use "Safely Remove Hardware and Eject Media" and "Eject" the
           newly created drive.
           If you receive the message: "Windows can't stop your
           'Generic volume' device because a program is still using it."
           Either shutdown your system and remove the drive or use
           diskmgmt.msc right click the disk, select "Offline", then "Online"
           and then "Safely Remove Hardware and Eject Media" and "Eject".

Primary script functions explained:
(a) Replace/Upgrade w/o a working original drive   (Standard Only)    - used to fix systems when the original drive has failed
(b) Replace/Upgrade keeping original drive data    (Standard and Non) - used to swap to a smaller or larger standard or non-standard drive
(c) Fix GUID values w/o formatting the drive       (Standard and Non) - should be used after step (b) and after disconnecting the SOURCE drive
(d) Backup "System Update" to current directory    (Standard and Non) - use before doing a Reset or Upgrade, better safe than sorry
(e) Restore "System Update" from current directory (Standard and Non) - use after doing a Reset or Upgrade, told you so
(f) Check all partitions for file system errors    (Standard and Non) - optionally check for filesystem corruption or prepare for Clonezilla
(g) Wipe drive of all partitions and GUID values   (Standard and Non) - used to blank a drive before rerunning step (b)
(h) CANCEL                                                            - skip making any drive modifications

Partition layout explained:
There are 5 partitions on an Xbox One drive. The 2nd partition 'User Content'
is what this selection refers to. The other 4 partitions are always the same
size regardless of the drive size.

All partitions are rounded to the nearest gibibyte (normally and not to be
confused with gigabyte). So options (d) through (g) will mostly do the right
thing. Options (a) through (c) are for wanting to force a particular size on
the target drive.

Most people should choose (a), (b), or (c). If you have a 256GB or 750GB you
should select (d). For 3TB, 4TB, or 5TB drives you should select (f).

(a) 500GB Standard (365GB)    (779MB Unallocated)
(b) 1TB Standard   (781GB)  (50.51GB Unallocated)
(c) 2TB Standard  (1662GB) (101.02GB Unallocated)
(d) Autosize Non-Standard w/ 500GB Disk GUID (1947GB MAX) - create an autosized 'User Content' resetting to 500GB
(e) Autosize Non-Standard w/ 1TB Disk GUID   (1947GB MAX) - create an autosized 'User Content' resetting to 1TB
(f) Autosize Non-Standard w/ 2TB Disk GUID   (1947GB MAX) - create an autosized 'User Content' resetting to 2TB


 1. Unzip xboxonehdd-master-7.zip to the Desktop which will create an xboxonehdd-master directory
 2. Open an Administrator Command Prompt:
    Windows 7: Click "Start Menu -> All Programs -> Accessories" right click "Command Prompt" select "Run as administrator"
    Windows 10 1607 and earlier: Right click "Start Menu" select "Command Prompt (Admin)"
    Windows 10 1703 and later: Right click "Start Menu" select "Windows PowerShell (Admin)"
 3. In the Command Prompt paste:
    Command Prompt:
    cd %USERPROFILE%\Desktop\xboxonehdd-master\win
    Windows PowerShell:
    cd $Env:USERPROFILE\Desktop\xboxonehdd-master\win
 4. Then paste:
    .\create_xbox_drive.bat
 5. Follow all the prompts and be sure to select the appropriate drive. Example below:
