Transfer Xbox 360 Content from 20gb to 250gb Hard Drive (HD)

[bakerbrock24]

is there anyway you could swap memory? because i have a 20gig and my friend has a 250gig, and i use more memory than he does, so were going to swap harddrives...but we both need the memory to not be erased, any ideas or tips?

[rahmister]

my 250 gig slim got its data curropted so im going to get a 320 and transfer it but can you transfer slim to slim harddrives

[the2menis1]

hi, i hope you get this message, i cant find the answer to my question anywhere. i have a really shit 60GB HD and its full, and my sister has a 250GB hard drive that she said she would swap with me. my question is, how can i just swap the data over? my idea was to put her saved content onto a memory stick, use a transfer cable to put my stuff on hers, then put her data onto my old HD. would that work or am i dreaming? thanks in advance

[LEMOONAYS]

@the2menis1 i pretty sure that would work

[BPL86]

i got an xbox 360 arcade but no hard drive my question is i got a hard drive i took out of my ps3 and wanna know if i can use it on the xbox im thinking of getting a hdd shell and put the ps3 hdd in there do i just format it on the xbox to be able to use it

[Bassie00001]

Question:

Can you transfer individual accounts? Right now, my sister and I share a 360, but I might gonna buy one for myself (the Slim version). So, offcourse, I only need to transfer my account, not hers.

[Thugtorious]

Does it copy and move or move data?

[VanNicky75]

New version doesn't need a disc. Just plug everything up and the prompt appears.

[epicness898]

so THATS why when i got a preowned 120gb hard drive it was only 107.

[sebio101]

Does the ether cable count?

[bekasi8faggotcity]

dude use / buy a usb flash stick transfer 20 data to usb litle by lit dont use / buy trans cable

[5swordmaster]

or use a usb!

[videogamer2327]

please dude tell me that if i get the rrod that if i transfer the data it wont be corrupted. like say i get a new xbox and put my old hard drive in. will it say it has been corrupted?? 

[lotsofgames]

@videogamer2327 The data should be just fine.

[videogamer2327]

@lotsofgames oh thank god!

[xtermsharky]

@lotsofgames -how do you use so less data for every game.mine every xbox360 game takes on average of 6gb.i already have used 70 gb.and secondely my xbox is freezing but when i take out harddrive it doesnt.should i format it?thx .

[buskstick]

@videogamer2327 no it won't. the red rings are not in any way connected to your memory, it's just a little system failure bitch.

[bulletshotfromgun]

Dude does it treansfer your Xbox live ID too?

[albertorodriguez777]

I have a 12gb hardrive my cousin gave me (because when I first bought my Xbox 360 Arcade it didn't come with one) and now it ran out of memory so the other day at a yardsale I bought a 120gb hardrive for $15 and the color of it was black so Im assuming it was from the Xbox 360 Elite so I was wondering if I buy that transfer cable would it work for me?

[ItsTheRealMusicMan]

THANK YOU SO MUCH! I haven't been able to play any new games for about a month and that meant no Skyrim, Revelations, and Mod 3. i am dying over here.

[jmar4life]

i was expecting to literally put one hard drive into another one, combining it into a force to be reckoned with

[ENDL3SS1998]

I saw that you had phantasy star universe, did you like it?

[ZekromUltimate]

yo dude u know u could have like put the 250gb on the console

[xDwinz]

@ZekromUltimate ...

[sutton123454]

So does this just transfer stuff onto your new hard drive? or can you just use it as an attachment to hold more memory and use it with your new xbox aslong as the new xbox's hard drive in the box too? or is it just used only for transfering old content onto the new hard drive?

[bulletshotfromgun]

does it transfer your Xbox live ID

[tmoney2429]

thank you....best buys retards and told me to put the old hard drive on the transfer cable.....thks

[thundermaze003]

The newer transfer cables don't need a disc.

[MultiOwen123]

mine never came with a disc?

[caboosefromrvbrulz]

@MultiOwen123 its fine it will still transfer.

[TheAlpha1studios]

Can you use this with the new cloud feature for xboxlive?

[RGCAdam]

Do you NEED the disc?

[caboosefromrvbrulz]

@RGCAdam you do not.

[itZodiac]

do i need that disk some people put in a disk

[kadon123]

Hey so i only have a 4gb hard drive but i own a 250 gb external hard drive that i use for movies and stuff can i transfer everything on to it and run my x box off that like does it have a operating system like a computer will this work how can i do this?

[Awayze]

@kadon123 No, the max is 32GB Flash drive only.

[adamray6191]

how much does the 250gb Hard Drive cost plizzzzzzzzzz tellllllll me :(

[Michael117isbac]

@adamray6191 about a hundred dollars if you check

[adamray6191]

@Michael117isbac thnx

[silentsnipers813]

This transfers everything right? I'll still have my xbox live gamertag?

[mattigi]

if you transfer a 20gb to a 120gb can you later transfer again to the NEW 360 hard drive? of can you only transfer once?

[lithium2370]

do they sell this at gamestop

[AtrociousAK47]

Awesome, I'm upgrading from a 60gb to a black 250gb. I wonder if things are workin on Xbl yet. Microsoft' s newest update really fucked things up, when I try to play black ops, i get auto disconnect from xbl until I go to the dashboard, and yet mw3 appears to be working. It's gonna take a while for me to get used to the new dashboard, I liked the previous one better. I wonder what's the point of the "beacon" feature, I could just look at my friends list to see what they're playing.

[YodelingLuigi]

Say I have a messed up xbox, and i buy the slim, when I switch the hard drive to the slim, do i have to sign in using my windows live ID?

[djcoolant]

how do u trasfer 4gb data to 250gb for xbox 360slim

[Mast3rTank]

at least you have a 20GB hard drive I have a 13GB. 13

[31jeffburton]

I have the arcade. Will a 250 harddrive work on it?

[Donnomas]

@31jeffburton yes

[bowmanlr66]

can you do this with a new transfer cable

[GekiMS]

Can you do this with a flash drive instead of a transfer cable?

[lotsofgames]

@GekiMS That should work just fine. The last time I checked I think that you can have up to a 16gb flash drive to use for your 360.

[LoGiK215]

@lotsofgames my hard drive just broke, when i put it in my xbox it just makes a clicking noise and i get the red rings.. is there any way i can still transfer all of my shit to a new hard drive or am i completely fucked?

[PatchyTV]

you have 20 gig and it will take roughly 1 1/2 hours, i have a 60 gig ><

[pkmnguy2010]

can i just ask, i just bought one to transfer data from a 20gig to a 120 gig but i bought it on ebay for £2.50p and i don't know if it's the latest version. is their a way to know if it's the latest?

[thevelvetknight]

@pkmnguy2010 he said to call microsoft

[XDispenserCrabX]

LOL my brother thinks hes gonna use my xbox 360 slim, yeah RIGHT becuase he aways leaves the current 360 on all night no way im trusting him with my xbox 360 slim

[GunsCards]

im getting a new slim xbox and ive just bought a non-official transfer cable off ebay will i still be able to copy my 60gb fat xbox hardrive to my new slim xbox?

[darknintendoxavgn]

@GunsCards Yes but only if your lead works.

[GunsCards]

@darknintendoxavgn ive plugged it into my computer with the hdd attached and it started up and the hdd spun does that mean it works

[darknintendoxavgn]

@GunsCards Yeap you have a windows pc dont you??

[GunsCards]

@darknintendoxavgn yep

[colten909]

My new hard drive won't show up wtf

[ModGyver]

that xbox is begging for the red rings of death inside those doors..

[snakev10v5]

could you use a normal E-sata to USB cable?

[iGumbal]

Whats the point of having an 250gb harddrive if you only have enough data for 20GB's and you dont install your games? YOUR SUPPOSED TO USE THE GBS AND INSTALL YOUR GAMES THATS THE POINT OF UPGRADING!!WTF?!

[lotsofgames]

@iGumbal When I did this video I had just completed the transfer of the content. I had yet to install the games. Since then I have installed a lot of games on the 250gb hard drive and it has been great to help with the loading times.

[iGumbal]

@lotsofgames and that is exactly the point of a 250gb hard drive...but ask yourself...if the game is installed you only need the disc to boot it up...so whats the point of installing it if you only need to use the disc to boot the game up??

its on going cycle..theres no winning here... i suggest you uninstall all your games and just buy every game in walmart and try to get enough gamesaves to fill the 250GB XD

[TheCoolio001]

I have a 20gb xbox and bought a 120gb hard drive and have the cables to transfer the data, do you attach your old hard drive to your xbox or is it the new one ?

[lithium2370]

@TheCoolio001 did you not watch the video

[skippers96]

@lotsofgames Could I buy a Cord like this from a store like future shop or somthing? Because if so that would much more easy then to perchase online

[ACDCGUY5]

i think they have the 250 gb at gamestop for 109 and it comes with the transfer cable

[Phantoma3]

How can I tell if I'm ordering a new version or the old version of the transfer kit?

And I have yet to see one that is being sold with a disc.

Does it still work without the disc? Otherwise, where can I download the software from?

thanks.

[GhostEForki]

Does it work for a 120GB hard drive to a250GB hard drive ?

[12345678927164]

@GhostEForki yes

[TheSupream2010]

will it bring over my xbox live account

[TheRabbitFear]

you dont need the disk just make sure the cable is fitted properly then wait for the xbox to recognize it

[DrLove6667]

does it transfer every thing because i have a lot of dlc but some of it i got it off a friend from license transfer

like i didnt download it off of my account

[LeeDunstan]

I have a problem: I've had my Xbox 360 about 3 years (old white one) and I was running out of storage space in my 20gb hdd, so I bought a transfer cable and a 60gb hdd. Then hooked it all up accordingly, but after that when I went to transfer my content, my Xbox 360 (same old one) insisted that my 60gb hdd I'd bought was a usb storage device with only 15.9gb on it. But when I put it into my 360 normally it appears as a 60gb hard drive again. How did this happen and how can I fix it?

[StreetLordOG]

So what if everytime i conect my 20gb hard drive my xbox 360 gets the red ring and i cant get into my xbox until i take it out?

[ohxsoglam420]

@StreetLordOG are you retarded?! if you have the red ring "of DEATH" your xbox is shot... you have to take your OLD hdd from the dead one, and buy a nice new one, and put it into that one... easy enough for even you to understand?!

[CoDWeeklyWins]

ok so what if my slim fucked up and i just bought a pro with a 20gb HD could i transfer the 250 gb onto the 20 gb or no?

[CameRonKoRn]

DOES IT KEEEP EVERYTHING? LIKE THE SAVED GAMES AND STUFF?

[ubrenmufasa2001]

i have a bought a new 360 because my old one fried and i have some saved games from the original xbox but for some reason they wont transer while everything else did

[SAMF2K8]

where did u get your cable from?

[slinger2009]

I bought the transfer cable and 250 hard drive off ebay....where can i buy the disc? or transfer kit with the disc???

[ANNOYINGGAM3RZ]

i did this but without the disc now my xbox dosent detect my harddrive how do i fix it also my warranty on my harddrive is expired

[khan2ification]

my old hard drive causes my xbox to freeze but not the new one. if i transfer it will there be the same problem on my new hard drive

[Realfrndofjesus]

does this work if you transfer to any size hard drive? if the new hard drive has more memory

[shlepydog960]

ok i bought a 250 gb hard drive that comes with a trasfer cable it a legit microsft purshuce to you think that the cable will work

[ohxsoglam420]

@shlepydog960 if this is the truth and its really "microSOFT legit" than why wouldnt it?! LOLL you sure its real? :-p you should be fine, i dont have the disc and im doing mine now.

[zColourfull]

@stephen123453 with the newer dashboard you dont need the disk all you do is put the new hard drive in your xbox then turn it on then put the old hard drive in the transfer cable then put it in the fron of your xbox then when the screen comes up to tranfer click on transfer to console then it will start

I sthere a way I can give my addons to my friend with my hdd external memory by replacing it with theirs? Help?

[sk8tepunk741]

fucking hate adds

[GodsmackFTW]

HERE'S A REAL TIP: Take a jump drive (Flash Drive w/e u wanna call it) erase everything on it (Xbox wont accept it if U dont) and use the Jump Drive as your memory transfer. You simply turn on the xbox, wait for dashboard, Then plug it in, go to memory, go to your harddrive and select what you want to move and press the MOVE button then select the jump drive. After you have all u want on the jump drive put in ur other harddrive and then MOVE from ur flashdrive to your harddrive.

[andrewy23]

@GodsmackFTW so i just get a regular usb stick and transfer 1 of my profiles because thats all i want to transfer and does it transfer the xbox live and downloads with it

[GodsmackFTW]

@andrewy23 I would say so. If not you can always put the files back onto the original xbox. And Id say just your profile wouldnt be enough. Say you wanted your Fable profile and DLC on another xbox hardrive. You would "MOVE" all fable related things to the USB flash drive. Should work. If not its only cause DLC doesnt wanna transfer through that.

[Hellbringer845]

crap, i got the cable that doesnt transfer harddrives :(

[ajisbeastlymods]

also my gamertag is >>>>>> aj is beastly <<<<<< yes with spaces.

[ajisbeastlymods]

I dont need a disk my xbox already came with the updates but something you didn't mention you can mod with a tranfer cable. By the way if you want to play modded waw send me a message just dont annoy me about modded lobbies if you need info on how to mod join my party and i can talk to anyone about it and just maybe i may make you a modder too.

[DKCxXCipZix]

Where do you buy the cable and the disc and what are they called cuz I am going to buy 250 gb hard drive and I will transfer my account and all that stuff
