I know this question is kind of old but, for those of you who are not linux guru's (me) there is a windows based program that will allow you to partition and format a new hdd for an xbox one. The program is called xboxonehdd-master. you will also need the OSU1 from xbox one website.

"I am in agreement with you that it's ""my hardware"", but if you read their agreement (mostly aiming at XBox Live I assume) one could assume that modifying hardware might result in getting banned from XBox Live.

I guess that's the big deal for most users.

Granted, replacing a hard drive with a larger model should not be a problem in my opinion, but ... Microsoft could take it as an excuse in the future to block you, or not.

"Thank you for the clarification :-)

I agree that shooting from the hip is not a good approach - I did however, contact Microsoft before I wanted to start replacing my hard-drive and did get the answer (my first post) that it would violate the XBox-live agreement. It was not their legal department though, but their tech support (who might have gotten the instructions by their ""boss"" to always give that answer, true or not).

I also agree that it's ""my"" hardware, so I should have the freedom to do what I like, unless it's to intentionally harm a company (like Microsoft) financially (ie. illegal games etc), and not have to be ripped off for something that should have been possible/there to begin with.

Anyhow; thanks again for the clarification - no offense taken. :-)"
