Anyone up for putting in a bigger HDD in my Xbox 1?

Post by Fahrenheit »

While i'm not sure if this is against the rules to ask or not and I didn't see a services section. So I'll post this here and see what happens. I tried this two times before, both ended with a fit of anger and everything going into the trash. What I want to do is have someone put in an bigger HDD in my Xbox 1 so I can FTP over my games. I think the old Xbox has so real quality games that can't be played anywhere else. Problem I had with these consoles is I wear out the CD drive and get disc read errors or hanging at loading screens. I'd like to just pay someone who is good at these kind of things as at this point in my life my time is worth more then money. I'm not sure of cost of this type of thing but its some thing we can work out. I have a fully working Xbox that is already soft modded that I would ship to you and pay for shipping back.

I'm in Philadelphia PA for the record.


So any takers?

Not against any rules - but where in the world are you?

You should say HDD (Hard Disk Drive) when talking about hard drives, especially since HD means something else entirely. It's implicitly confusing. I thought the thread didn't make sense until I thought about it for a second. (Put bigger high definition in my Xbox, wut?)

I'm not trying to be a jerk or anything, I just see people do this a lot and I try to point it out when they do, because it makes things much more confusing.

I'm sure there's someone SOMEWHERE that would upgrade the drive for you (Though I can't imagine the problems you must be running into, it's a fairly straight forward task).

I'll take a wild guess and say the issue is likely dealing with the partition? You have to use specific cloning software to properly duplicate and expand Xbox HDD partitions. You don't even have to use a separate machine though. http://www.instructables.com/id/Origina ... /?ALLSTEPS

Anyway good luck.

Send a lockable HDD to me and the Xbox and I'll install it for $10, you pay shipping both ways
