  • Can someone help me out? I did this today and my old Hardrive didn't have any of my old memory:( did I do something wrong?

  • i Bought a 20GB HD in $15 Dollars, is a Good Deal? lol THANK YOU BTW!

  • Hello can someone help, will this enable me to play battlefield 3 multiplayer (disc 1) in hi-def does anyone know? please respond if you do know

  • My cousin told me not to use any tools to open things just smash it until it opens

  • So a year later you haven't been bricked or kicked off Live right? Cuz I'm not sure how sticking in an old elite would fly with the software liscence especially "You will use only Authorized Accessories and Authorized Games with Your Xbox 360 S or Authorized Accessory. You will not use Unauthorized Accessories or Unauthorized Games. They may not work or may stop working permanently after a Software update. " Don't get me wrong I'd love to do it too, I'm just looking for some reassurance.

  • This is LEGIT. i just watched this today and just got back from game stop. now i have a 60G hard drive!!

  • @drclabo Yup, did the same thing today and it's working perfectly. Hope I didn't just screw myself over by saying that. haha. It was a bitch to open though since I didn't have the right tools, but with a knife and twisting some with my hand, it eventually came off. Though mine's only 50gb.

  • For those who say "or you could just keep the system you have," if you have an xbox360 which has encountered the red ring of death and it is out of warranty, it costs roughly the same to have it repaired by Microsoft as it does to buy the new slim system. Less shipping costs too. This video serves, those wanting to save money, very well. Thanks for posting.

  • if your old xbox 360 had the red rings of death, would that effect the hard drive?

  • @Chubc2550100 Nope the hard drive would be fine.

  • soz i meant it only gave me hafe memo (not is it)

  • thank man is it only gave me hafe the memo

    is that normal

  • thanks this is going to save my life insted of buying a 250g hard drive for my slim thanks very helpful

  • or you could just but the hard drive transfer cable. it's in the ballpark of 20-40 dollars....just saying.

  • @thenormalishperson ORR You Can Spend No Money At All. And NOT Have to Transfer any data..................... Just Saying.

  • This might be a strange question... but will the xbox 360 slim harddrive fit into the xbox 360 original?

  • @Winterappleby if you had the old style case I dont see why it wouldnt work!

  • good video ... thanks bro!!

  • @rakionPj1 No problem, thanks for watching!

  • Thank you soooooooooooooooooooooooo much i bought a hard drive from a friend that was 120 gb and sold it to me for $30 canadian dollars. I can now download dlc with MW3 and BF3. YEAH!!!!

  • @subzeroxxxhotmail Right on! Sounds like a good deal haha.

  • Thanks

  • Sved me 100$ thx :DDD <3

  • can you transfer data from that disasembled hdd to a new slim hdd that you bought. i have the 4 gig slim and i did that and im running out of room so i was wondering (again) if you could transfer memory from that old one that is dissasembeld one to a new slim hdd

  • Also, the hard drive should read "microsoft" when it is pulled up under storage devices. There are no ban rules for custom hard drive installations under both the Xbox and XBL TOS. The only thing about doing this is, even though it's a Microsoft Hard Drive, any damage caused by it either directly or indirectly is not covered under warranty. Same clause applies to hard drives manufactured by 3rd parties. If you got banned for this it would be Microsoft's fault because you aren't violating TOS.

  • hey thanks for this vid- I did all this but got an E68 error, BUT I now remember attempting to fix a fucked up console with the same drive plugged in all assembled, it got the same thing. I've seen multiple fixes for this error so I'm going to reassemble it partially,plug it in via that and go from there. MUST SAVE MASS EFFECT SAVES!

  • Thanks bro youre the best you saved me 126.00

  • thank you now i can use the rest of the 64gb left out of my 120gb hd on the new slim haha, just recommend putting in the hd with the new xbox standing up rather than sideways easier to lock it in

  • You helped me so much! I only had 48 mb after downloading the mass effect 3 demo yay

  • the console sends signals across live to MS. Things regarding its performance and the like. If a slim ( they can tell by the serial number ) sends that it is using a smaller than available hard drive it will be flagged as having been tampered with

    only options for slim hard drives are 250gb or 350gb.. or using a usb..

    solution---- FUCK MICROSOFT!!!!

  • Your awesome man

  • Awesome!!

    

  • How Do You Take It Back Out?Please Help Me Anyone.

  • @mushroomhead509 just do what you did to put it in. its kinda stuck in there when you think about it

  • So if I transfer content like a map pack I bought but I deleted it from the hard drive can I redownload it if on the new hard drive?

  • @MrTaylorowns you can redownload anything as long as its all under the same account.

  • If you dont have the screw driver you can twist the nuts with pliers. 

  • Dude, you just saved me 100 bucks and a ton of headache. I bow to you...thanks.

  • Will this work with a knock off 360 hard drive?

  • thanks you very much.....u the best man..

  • I want this video on my MOTO XT882 unit.

  • What kind of screw driver is it?

  • wow, lot of unscrewing

    buy a ps3

  • Really clear thanks

  • Thanks for the easy vid!

  • @Scoooorn I get a hard drive and install.... there's an error screen... i turn off the xbox... i turn it back on... this time no error screen, but when i go to memory options the hard drive isn't detected even though it's in. Any suggestions?

  • Once you transfer the hard drive over does all your save data from the old one still apply? Like if you start a game will it recognize you already have the save data

  • Helped me alot thanks

  • @jojuae Sorry, my coment are incomplet, The WD Hard Drive is expensive, If your HDD is 1TB, Microsoft only permit 320GB as maxim, you need to flash the HDD with 320 GB Xbox HDD Firmware and your WD Hard Drive will be like a Genuine - Signed Xbox HDD... Good Luck, Watch tutorials and Google it ;)

  • @jojuae Men you can do that, but is a little hard procces, you need netbooks HDD (exactly Western Digital Blue Velociraptor) Why only that HDD? You need flash the HDD, and that HDD is the only that can be flashed, you need a program called hddhackr (a boot program) and the firmware of the Xbox HDD, Google it, you will find tutorials, if the HDD have 500GB when you flashing it (Ex. 320GB xbox HDD firmware) you get your HDD signed by Microsoft and like an genuine 250GB Xbox HDD, but that WD HDD i

  • Help, I've just taken my 20gb hard drive apart put into the slim, it snapped into place but not coming up on the Xbox? :/

  • Great Video! i Appreciate taking the time to make this tutorial video. I was adamant on buying a new xbox 360 because of my games of my older hardrive, pretty soon i will have a new xbox 360. Thank you.

  • Dude this vid is helpful but if I need to replace the slim I'm getting then I may need a lot of those memory cards.

  • @jonaimmigrant yeah me too cus I have 29.2 G on my 360 hard drive and I will not be restarting anything.

  • Soo all the saved games and downloaded content is kept? or would I have to download all my dlc for fallout 3, battlefield 3, etc??

  • Microsoft ban you for this? Because I love play in Live..

  • @zLyd3R I think they technically can, but I dont know anyone who has been banned for doing this.

  • @Scoooorn I´ve got the 360 4GB and can´t install the stupid HD package for Battlefield 3.

    Do you know if by doing the same thing you did in this vid it will work? Cause the packege requires an actual Hard drive instead of the internal memory of the 4GB

    tks

  • @macleunin Yes it'll work. Because now you have a hard drive.

  • Thanks. This video just save me mad money.

  • @Scoooorn Could I go buy any brand SATA drive? Like a solid TB and do the same thing? Or does the console only support so much? I dowload A LOT of movies and I have about 30 games installed right now and my 250 is almost full. I have well over a hundred games I'd like to install them all for performance but there's no room! :( I don't want an external drive it'd just look tacky. Anything regarding this would be much appreciated :)

  • @jojuae Pretty sure that doesnt work, I think the Xbox hard drives are formatted in a way that it can only be used by xbox's...if that makes sense.

  • @Scoooorn Maybe it would format it like it does a jumpdrive or something? Idk man. Can only be hopeful...

  • CASTLE CRASHERS FTW! :D

  • thank you for this video

  • ive done exacly what you have done but will hardrive be ok for xbox live?ive got a 20gb one.Im new to all this

  • i used a steak knife and a pair of nail clippers.... took me an hour but i got it :) thanks man

  • Great vid..thanks man

  • could i open that then buy a new one thats like 200 gb put back in there then put in my old xbox

  • T6 was way to small and wouldn't work for me. T7 and T10 worked perfect for me.

  • Or instead of accidentaly ruining your harddrive with all your games, you can just buy a new harddrive and transfer cable and sell the old one on ebay, then it only costs you less than 100 bucks extra which isn't too bad to guarentee that your xbox will be ok and your saves won't be lost. That's my opinion, but this is still cool :)

  • Just snap it in and BAM, profiles and all show up automatically. Recently transfered over my 60gb hd. Save urself the money. Takes about 5 minutes or less to transfer. You can find a shell case on ebay for less than $10. So, brand new xbox 60gb+ hd, $100+, or $10 case. Tough choice...............NOT.

  • Thanks, transfered my HALO HD into my new one. Did exactly what you showed.

  • You are a genius! Thanks!

  • Does anyone know if this voids the warranty on the SLIM hardrive? I know it voids it on the normal HDD.... anyone?

  • Thank you kind sir.

  • u r sexy

  • Easy to follow instructions... an idiot could do it thanks for the video

  • does this work with the 20 gig hard drive too cus i cant seem to get it to snap in for the life of me

  • @TEXASMADECHOPAHOLIC I believe it does from what I have been told, I am currently waiting on a slim Xbox HD case to transfer my old 20 gig HD in, I'll try update once I get the case in....

  • @TEXASMADECHOPAHOLIC , yes it does, I just did this today with a 20gig from March 08' just make sure to buy a generic Xbox 360 S HD case to put the HD in once you open the old case as to keep the HD properly snug in the Xbox 360 S HD slot

  • anyone...do you have to format your HD after installation or soon as you put it in will you be able to play? I have my 120 gb with my profile, live, etc and i want to plug it in and use it with out formatting it....cause that would wipe all the data off...which i don't want. is this possible to do without losing data?

  • when you do this do you have to do the transfer license crap and do you have to put in your email account again?

  • Scorn, you're a life-saver my friend! Thanks! :^) Didn't lose any of my saved games thanks to you!

  • Great tutorial and easy instructions! Thanks man!

  • THANK YOU!

  • and they say black people are ghetto. WRONG!! lmao!

  • thanks for the help, worked like a charm!!!

    oh, and i love how Microsoft advertises a 4gb hd that is only 3, AND a 20gb that is only 13.

    i used the 20gb from my original 360, stuck it in the 360s, formatted it, and its really only a 13 gb hd. they say its because of system data or whatever, but...i seems a little scandalous.

  • can you get banned?

  • absolutely brilliant mate !!!!!!!!!!!!

  • i put in my hard drive and it didnt work?! scoooorn...any suggestions? it clicked and everything when i put it in

  • TY SOOO MUCH MAN!!! dude if it weren't for u i would have lost all my saved games my xbox live profile and more but because of you showing me this im not going to lose it. Again ty i don't know how i could ever thank you enough ^^

  • hey i put mines in and it doesnt show in the storage spot its just showing the syestem 4gb not the 20 gb? help please?

  • y do i keep getting e68

  • what do i do if it does'nt work

  • I did this. I transferred my 20gb HDD from my original white Xbox 360 into my brand-new Xbox 360 S 4gb; now my graphics stink. I mean they're terribly uglier than before. 

  • Thnx so much man, this saved me bout $110. Mucho gracias. You can use a T9 btw. Great vid.

  • can you do this on a 4gb xbox 360 slim ??

  • Thanks dude your the best.

  • Wow, I just updated my new slim to the newest dash and version , installed the hdd just like you showed , and it works like a charm! Thx man!

  • @roscoe1785 no it will still work

  • Thanks :)

  • Thanks saved myself for battlefield 3 HD pack

  • @MohawkMasters same here

  • @MohawkMasters Thank for the conformation its worked with it. Did you use to lag before the hd pack?

  • @Ryan24Mathews no, but without the hd pack it looks like playstation 2 graphics.LOL

  • @MohawkMasters I saved myself for a girl but I guess everyone has their own preference

  • @jeepclub1000 what do you mean?

  • Why can't they just use normal screws instead of those stupid ones lol now i gotta find screw drivers for those things.

  • I tried this with my old 20gb HDD, but alas it didn't work. I'm going to just go and buy two 8GB xbox flash drives and plug them in my xbox.

  • @APyroTurtle maybe you did it wrong?

  • @sutton123454 I did it exactly how he did it, my hard drive was when the first xbox 360's came out.

  • what are the types of screw drivers you need??

  • @lomeloft they are called Torx, as for the size you will need a T6 and a T10.

  • @Scoooorn fuck man i spent loads of money on a new xbox and i was gonna do this but i dont have a t10 do you think i could rip the top of without damaging the hardrive?

  • @TeamHagrid No, i tried. learn from my mistakes.

  • So basically i could use any 2.5" sata hdd or ssd with new xbox360?

  • @XvEmoKittyvX yes

  • @XxSkitzzManiaxX if you are reckless, yes.

  • thanks for d video

  • thanks man it worked got it goin now

  • Will it work if I have a 20 gb old hard drive and put it on the new xbox 360 slim?

  • Great Video, this worked...Thanks!

  • If I were to do this, will the Xbox Slim read the invisible partition of Original Xbox game saves?

  • Can This Reck Your 120gb Hard Drive In Any Way??

  • thanks bro.. :)

  • FUNCIONO te doy like , favoritos, ya lo publique y todo grax amigo

  • Hey since your using the black hard drive can i use the white on they sell at game stop.

  • I tried and messed up tha hard drive, r there any recommendations on how to do it properly?

  • Clearly a noob. Too much talking for a simple process.

  • Thanks for the video...worked fine for me!!

  • I feel like such an idiot, I was trying to pry off the casing with my fingers, didn't see the screws LOL. Two bloody fingers later, I finally look up the video. Thanks man.
