How do you format your drives?

I see your XB1 HDD's come pre-formatted. Do you do this using the video in your replacement guide?

Thank you!

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

@kaykay Could you possibly help with this?

Nevermind. I've figured it out. But I'd still like to know how you format your drives.

@pccheese - Internal drives are typically blank unlike external drives which are often formatted with FAT32 or exFAT.

The xbox one has very special formatting, into several NTFS partitions with a couple files installed and some special formatting. Very complex. I was wondering if ifixit does it the way the video shows in their guide or some other method.

@pccheese - George the IFIXIT drivers are used so the orginal formats is likely still on them. And, yes it's a bit of work to prep up a virgin drive as the vid explains.
