Hi all, I don't often step into the Xbox one area, so asking for help and or advice on this.
A friend of mine has been given an Xbox one from another friend. Now this system is a little special. Next to no case. No bluray drive, no front io panel (rings led, power button,etc.)..... and no hard drive.
I was sceptical at first in my friends idea on fixing it up. He just wanted it as a digital media machine. Suffice to say that when I plugged it in and turned it on with the controller, nothing appeared on screen.
I tried putting in a 500gb hard drive, and failed. Tried another, failed boot.
Put in an ssd, and it booted to the troubleshooting screen. Ok, no we're getting somewhere
So after doing some research on why, k made the discovery that the Xbox one probably can't power any of my 3.5" drives.
Now, the ssd is infact laptop drive sized, but aren't they all really?
So this is kind of where I am now.
The ssd is 128gb, I have no 2.5" drives besides this one.
The original drive was long lost. So I cannot move anything from it to the new one. Ofcourse, I doubt I could because of the size difference.
Are we boned? Do we have to go buy a 500gb 2.5" drive? Or is there some formatting tool or something that can setup this ssd 128gb drive so we can see if we can step further?
Thanks in advanced for any replies, and sorry for the long winded response, but I figured more information was the best thing.
Thanks again!
