Always test the new hard drive first cause if it doesnt work some stuff you will be SOL when it tries to transfer and just goes corrupt. Just a warning as i know he didnt mention this in video.

Hey man loved the video was clear and helpful. Quick question I just bought the tranfer cable but mine doesn't come with the utility disc will I need the disc ??

Well this was helpful, I plan on doing this in the next couple weeks

that was quite good and informative.

Awesome! Video thanks for the complete walks through. 👍👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Couldn't you just plug in the new hard drive with the cable and use it as an external hard drive instead of replacing the old hard drive and transferring everything to the new one? Seems like it would be less hassle.

Great video! I would like to know if the license transfer is absolutely required? I saw you play a game before the transfer but I'm just making sure?

Yeah, I never needed one when I upgraded my 360 from a '20bg' drive to a '60gb' drive.

do you know inside the hard drive case its just a mini drive you can take it apart and it even goes in the slim I have terra byte hds inside the case and as for transfer disc cable don't waste the money just use a usb flash drive or memory stick

Thank you this is very helpful

Did your DLC add ons still work? I remember after my original Xbox 360 died, I put it's hard drive in a new one and it acted like I didn't have the DLC and had to use the license transfer thing multiple times to get them to work.

Peace! Thanks. I have an issue with my Xbox 360 console where I cannot see or select storage unit when I'm in the settings? My external save device shows up, but not the console's hard drive? The console recognizes the full content, but it won't let me go into it to delete or remove. I'm at a standstill here, got any suggestions other than buying a new hard drive?

You don't need the disc if you have a connection to Xbox Live and the latest software update.

I find this funny because I was like, wait a second, my Xbox doesn't have that, and then you removed the hard drive and i was like OH MY GOD MY XBOX DOESN'T EVEN HAVE A HARD DRIVE

Storing your save data in the cloud with Xbox Live Gold is also an option. 🤔

Can i transfer only certain thing onto a new drive or do i have to transfer it all cause the drive i have is a 320 gig and its full so i want another 320 gig one so i can put some games one to clear space on the original.

Does this work if you buy a new xbox and you want to transfer saves?

I bought the same new HD on Amazon but I got a mini-disk and my Xbox reads it as 'Mixed Media Disk' and doesn't do anything when I click on it. Any suggestions?

What's the difference from using the front usb port vs the rear port for transfer ? On Microsoft site they show the front port.

@watychaty

6 жыл бұрын

Pat Thompson Between the two sides of the USB ports I would assume the front ones are easier to use so thats probably why they said that one if they said something like "ONLY USE FRONT" then there very well could be a more darker creepy reason why or that there incompatible with the back USB ports I would see no reason for them to be incompatible unless they were damaged. But between you and me I think Microsoft always hated the back USB ports, when the Xbox 360 E was released they removed one of the back USB ports so there is something suspicious.

It still didn't work, so I looked it up, and it needs an internal hard drive :( but I don't know where to install the internal hard drive for this model of the 360, since I don't have the xbox 360 slim. Is it even possible to install it internally? this turned out to be a lot of work.

I had that Xbox 360 when I was a little kid

I am in the process of transferring all of my data and updating my hardrive from the 20 gb to 320 gb. I was wondering if you could tell me if its possible to transfer game content (for example map packs I bought for COD Black ops II) from an xbox 360 slim to a regular xbox through this method. I have an xbox 360 slim that has all of my game data on it. Would I need a different transfer cable from the one you use. Will the data on the original xbox 360 slim hardrive be corrupted and not be usable.
