tech question, boosts would be great
As I’ve written about before, the HDD in my Xbox one S broke. I’ve ordered a cheap replacement that has the added bonus of more storage. I do not currently have a windows machine in productive use and all guides talk about how one is supposed to format the drive using some windows only tool.
My idea was to dd over the contents of the old HDD (if I manage to read from it) and extend the partition on Linux.
Is this possible?

@dysphoricunicorn It seems the HDD just needs to be NTFS, so you can try the dd and/or then resize/create the NTFS partition using GParted or similar

@dysphoricunicorn I looked at https://www.ubackup.com/clone/xbox-one-s-drive-upgrade-5740i.html
Which just clones, then extends the partition, but with their proprietary windows tool

@f0x thanks for the info. I thought it’s possible that the Windows tool wrote some stuff that might only work with the drive it was used with.
