Does replacing the internal X-Box One HDD still work? Can you help with some steps?

[Kheadz]

Hi everyone,

I work in IT so I am pretty good with computers and I used to love modding my original XBOX to run MAME and XBMC... but I stopped when the XBOX360 came out... But I'm back!! (Kindof!)

Can anyone confirm if replacing the internal Xbox One HDD with a larger drive still works please?

I followed this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bD78ytZRASo) to create the partitions and copy the A & B folder plus update.vxd files to the new drive but when I boot up it just stops on the green Xbox logo screen.

Some people have said I should Factory Default my existing HDD before starting the process but I want to copy all my game saves and games/apps to the new drive...

Also... how DO I copy all the game saves/apps/games to the new drive... is that possible?

If someone could bullet point the steps I need to install a larger HDD AND copy all my existing data over that would be fantastic!

Many thanks for any help and advice you can give,

Jon

seeing they now even sell xbone as 1tb hdd i wouldnt think there would be any issues.

true nofeloniesyet, but that could also be a way of Micro$oft forcing people to upgrade if they removed this "workaround"

I would be interested to know if anyone has done this recently as so far my experience has been disappointing

thanks
