Use the in-app updater to get it, or download it here. You choose from the same device types as before, but now you can indicate whether you want to format a file instead of a real device. Here you choose a location to save the file, and also how big you want the file to be. For convenience, Min and Max buttons are provided. When clicked, they will set the size to the smallest and largest respective device size for the chosen device type. Aside from Min and Max, you can input any size within that range as well.
Just make sure you have enough space to store the file, as it is going to be created on your file system in the exact size you specify. From that point the process is the same as if you were formatting a real device.
You can customize your partitions, preload, etc. If you check this option, the entire file that is created will be zeroed out before it is formatted. If you do not check this option the default , the file will be created, but not zeroed out. What this means is that if, for example, you create a 1 TB file, 1 TB of deleted data from your PC may wind up in the file. Stopping Windows from zeroing out the file makes a profound difference in the time it takes to format a large file.
Various other fixes and enhancements were made to the Formatting Tools. A Restart button was added so the wizard can be restarted if a change needs to be made, and devices larger than 2 TB are handled correctly now.

We shall see! FATXplorer has had formatting tools for years, but they are Xbox exclusive. Support for Original Xbox hard-drives and memory units is now available. There is a wide range of formatting options for Original Xbox hard-drives depending on the BIOS installed on the console, and a lot of effort has gone into covering every scenario.
Xbox formatting options have also been enhanced with new features, and common annoyances have been addressed. All of the common partitioning setups are supported, with extensive explanations for each option:.

Preloading is a new feature that is primarily aimed at console shops and individuals who prepare and sell HDDs or consoles with HDDs to their customers. For each partition that will be formatted, you can specify either a zip file or a folder containing contents you want to load onto the partition during the format.
That way, once the format is done, you can put the drive into your console right away. The preloading process is very simple. You choose a partition to preload using the drop-down, and then specify a zip file or folder. You can specify 1 zip file or folder per partition.
Right before you start the format, you can now specify if you want to quick format the disk. FATXplorer has always quick formatted disks by default. If you want FATXplorer to wipe the entire disk before setting up the Xbox partitions, uncheck this option. There is also a Cancel button that can be used to stop the wipe operation.
You can still name your device. This is displayed on the console in various places. New: Support for OG Xbox memory units. Xbox internal memory unit formatting has been discontinued. In reality, no one used this, and it was an unnecessary feature that brought about confusion. Adding OG Xbox support brought in numerous code complexities that made supporting a back button more complicated compared to Xbox exclusive support.
It will probably return in the future. A preview of new USB formatting possibilities was recently shared here. Beta 14 does not support formatting extra large USBs. Support will come in a future beta, assuming all goes well with further development and testing of the patch.
This is unlikely to change, but alternative options are being investigated. Formatting is a destructive operation. Please take great care in selecting the right device.
