Chosen Solution
My Xbox one 500gb is complete crap, I bought it off craigslist and not knowing it was not going to work I paid 200, yeah yeah it was very stupid of me. I contacted the police but it’s difficult. Anyway the Xbox one hardrive is bad, when i turn it on it has the black screen of death now I already tried all the trouble shooting exactly it just gets stuck at the same part and gives me a error code of e101. I sent it to Microsoft because they extended the warranty for another month but the warranty sticker was removed so they sent it back. So my question is if I buy this 500gb hardrive and replace it will it work normally or should I spend 150 for a replacement console
I had a black screen but no error codes.I tried all the MS troubleshooting solutions none worked. I was completely baffled and finally tore the casing off removed the hard disk and inserted it in a docking station to see what was going on. Windows didnt recognise the disk at first so after much searching came across an application called HxD. This has fully unlocked all partitions except the first partition “Temp Content”. I can see all the files in the other partitions except this partition. It looks to me like this partition is the culprit. Its either been corrupted and the system cannot load because it requires a file from this partition. Ive seen some posts on creating a new hdd and it seems that the files required in this partition are not included in the OSU1 & 2 downloads. So your only solution will be to get a new hdd that already has all the critical files.
