How do you move the data and that from 1xbox hard drive to the other?

Question

My brother got an xbox 360 elite today, but all of his game saves and music and all that c**p are still on his on his 20gb drive of the premium console. but how do you transfer the data over?

also i heard that you need a cable ? you connect one drive to the computer, then you connect the other drive and do it that way?

If thats right were can i get the cable?

and i am in the uk

Thanks

Answer 1

You may be able to do it that way, or you can buy the 'Xbox Migration Kit Data Transfer Cable.' It copies all data from one hard drive to the other, but i have heard it also removes everything off the original hard drive.

Answer 2

go to the marketplace and find memory then you can access you memory card and hard drive and transfer it there

Answer 3

The Xbox 360 Hard Drive Transfer Kit is available for free from Microsoft to do exactly what you want..

Check out the link below.. it explains how to request your free cable and how the transfer works..

Basically you connect one drive to your Xbox in the normal way and use the cable to connect the second drive to the Xbox via the USB port.. it comes with a disk you put in the Xbox and it moves your data to the new drive.. I have done it.. it's pretty easy..

>>> Update

As for the people saying you just need a memory card.. the problem is that the largest memory card is 512MB.. so if you have any content bigger than 512MB (like game demos or other downloaded content) you are not going to be able to transfer everything.. also some game saves are tagged as not movable so you won't be able to move those either..  the cable is the only thing which will work for everything..

Good luck..

Answer 4

yep you need the transfer kit as stated above .... but ive looked online in other forums and people have said it can take upto 6weeks to arrive!!!!

Ive also just purchased a 120gb HD and i need to transfer my files over from my 20gb HD... well i found one on ebay and i bought it. As you can only use them once i am gonna put it back on ebay when i have transfered my data across.

So if you cant wait upto 6weeks you more than welcome to bid for my transfer kit.

Oh, i intend to get my money back of it aswell, it cost me £30 so im gonna put a 'buy it now' price of £30 with £2.50 postage.  Its upto you.
