How to Transfer The Original Xbox 360 Hard Drive to a New Xbox 360 Slim

http://gamexcess.net

Did you get a new Xbox 360 Slim over Christmas? Notice your old Xbox 360 Hard Drive does not fit in the slim? Do you want all your savegames, videos, profiles and XBLA content on the new system? This is a step by step process on how to transfer all your data from your old Xbox 360 HD to a new system. This also works on older Xbox 360s.

Step 1: Remove your OLD Xbox 360 Hard Drive from your Xbox 360.

Step 2: Install New Xbox 360 Hard Drive into your Xbox 360, or if it's a new 360 with a Hard Drive already installed, do nothing.

Step 3: Connect OLD Hard Drive to Hard Drive Transfer cable. Insert Hard Drive Transfer Cable USB connection to rear 360 USB port.

Step 4: Turn your Xbox 360 on, wait a few seconds for the system to prompt you if you want to transfer your content now. Tell it to transfer TO console.

Step 5: Check to make sure all your data is in place in the Transfer Content Menu. When satasfied, START the transfer process.

Step 6: Have a coke, this'll take a while.

Notice: Not all your files may transfer, some misc legacy data, half downloaded files, and a few other things may not go with the transfer.

Step 7: Once all the data is transferrred, log into your Xbox Live profile. You may have to re-download the latest Xbox Live Update.

You're done.

@RobinHood1696 They JUST started selling an Xbox Slim hard drive adapter. I don't have one so I haven't tested it. In theory you will be able to use it like I used the fat HD adapter.

Ok people who asked today Microsoft has JUST announced they will start selling an Xbox slim transfer cable. Keep your eyes out for it in stores.

@Maniac536 i didnt finish the text sorry lol. i dont know my password

@avpandcog It transfers the live profile data over to the new storage medium. The only way live data is invalidated is if you manually log into a new xbox. Seriously though, not knowing your live password is really bad, if someone gains access to it fraudulently you won't be able to recover it. There are a few ways to reset it ranging from using live or calling xbox support.

@johncena0954 I'm unaware of such cable for the 360 but if it helps I know for a fact the ps3 can do it using just an Ethernet cable connecting two ps3s. This function was added with a firmware update a while ago.
