  1. Broken hard drive! I have a few questions about transferring data.


    First, the symptoms of the hard drive, and then I have a few questions

    -The Xbox will start turning on, then right before or right after it loads up the dashboard, it freezes.

    -When the hard drive is not in, no freezing. No game data, either, of course.

    Now for questions.

    If I transfer data from the corrupted hard drive to a new one, will it corrupt the new hard drive?

    Can you even transfer data from corrupted hard drives?

    Does it just transfer games, or does it also transfer my save data from said games?

    :)

    Star wars battlefront 2 data

    So I know you cannot download the expansion pack for this anymore, but I do have the downloadable content on one of my hard drives. Is there any way of just transferring that data to another hard drive without transferring all the other data as well?

    If you know for certain it is corrupted, avoid doing a transfer. You could transfer content but the odds are good that the content will be corrupted in the new HD. Transfer cable transfers game saves, profiles, achievements, game licenses etc.

    Xbox service to copy games onto new external hard drive

    Hi there SupZ1

    There is already ways to transfer to different hard drives if both are working on the storage settings on xbox one.

    I have had problems with a broken hard drive before, There isn't away to transfer data if the drive is broken so a long reinstall process is whats needed to be done if they broken.

    How to transfer everything from the Halo console to the GOW3 Console?

    The data transfer cable will not plug into the Halo hard drive. The transfer cable evidently cannot tranfer dater from a console with an internal hard drive to another console with an internal hard drive. I will have to transfer my data to an older external
    hard drive, then transfer it to the Gears console. I just hope I do not lose any data.
