HDD died

Last night my HDD on my Xbox one S died and the console is out of warranty.

I have a new HDD but I need to know how to get the OS for my Xbox one S onto the new HDD ?

my external hard drive stopped working

1 - if you can try the external on another xbox to see if the hdd has died (it happens)

2 - try another external hdd on your system, to confirm your ports are ok (if not hardware failure and repair needed)

Hope this helps

Oops dis regard my above post it is supported i misread op is your hdd from microsoft or is it an external/usb hdd, becuase like what the person above me said it might not have the xbox 1 compatibility partition.

I upgraded to a One X from a 360 and I didn`t realise everything had to be downloaded either. And my first game install was Halo 5 and that was a whopping 107GB.

The following day I went out and bought a Seagate Xbox 2TB external HDD.

No more buying a new game and having a quick go, lol

so is there an advantage to having an "XBOX HDD" rather than say a 'WD HDD'?

It`s just a licensed external HDD that is manufactured by Seagate for the Xbox, it`s green and says Xbox on the front. They do one for the PS as well, only in blue.

You can use any external HDD as long as it is USB 3.0.

I only bought it as I managed to get it at a reduced price as I had some vouchers for the store I bought it from.
