I have a ps4 running 9.00 with no BD drive. I want to upgrade/replace it's HDD. Since I can't update, I have to clone the old HDD or backup it's IMP partitions using BD-toolkit and then use Winhex to change the HDD partitions with the backup files. I have followed the orbis repair guide. This is my progress,
I have backed up my partitions from the ps4 with no BD. > Used another ps4 to format the new 1tb HDD and prepared it. > Got all my partitions in usb, attached usb and the new HDD to my computer. > Got Winhex working . Now here I'm stuck. I don't know what to do next. The orbis repair guide says "Copy the 1st sector number". I have no idea what is the 1st sector number. I have no experience with Winhex and I couldn't find any SIMPLE guides explaining how to use it. Can someone guide me what to do next ? Or explain with screenshots how is Winhex used and how can I replace the HDD partitions.

I figured out the crappy Orbis tutorial, let me know if you still need help.

    I'm doing good, just made my first drink of the day, so better now, Captain and Coke today. I had to cut grass all day, then get my hair cut. I messed with my wifey, she knew I was going to get hair cut, and I went and bought a purple dyed wig, and came home wearing it, she freaked out, thinking I dyed my hair purple, was funny.

    Damn, I haven't been on here in while. My wife and I went on a mushroom trip like 10 years ago. A friend had a PS3TV with the glasses and some racing game. It hit when I was playing the game and I freaked out because I thought I was really driving and crashed.
