Open up the bootanimation.zip file that you downloaded earlier and you will see two folders – one called “Xbox One S and Phat” and one called “Xbox One X” – depending on what console you are working on, extract the bootanim file to both the “A” folder and “B” folder on the drive that windows created earlier. If no windows drive letter is assigned to the “System Update” partition, simply right click it in Disk Management and select “Assign Drive Letter” then click next to accept the default drive letter windows assigns – take a note of the drive letter than windows assigns to the partition. The partition we are most interested in is the “System Update” partition. That gives you more space for games on your Xbox. Open Windows Disk Management again, and you will see your Xbox hard drive with multiple partitions installed. Expand your Xbox Ones memory with an external hard drive for Xbox One. Remove the hard drive from your Xbox (remember we said earlier, do NOT install it fully just yet) and connect it back to your PC or laptop.

So how can we return the boot animation screen back to life? Simple. Windows XP installation, with an nVidia graphics card, a hard drive.

This is because most of the time when installing the updated OS to a new hard drive, the Xbox does not automatically copy the files needed to show the boot animation when you switch on your XBox – this is the green “Xbox Logo” screen that shows when you first switch on your Xbox. Arguably, two important games platforms exist, the PS2 and Windows, and Java isn't. Earlier on, we downloaded the boot animation files.
