  1. How to transfer hard drive data from old xbox to new xbox???


    Hey guys,

    Had a question about transferring all the data on my old Xbox to a new one and also about wiping the old Xbox clean.

    Ok, for starters I have a 360S 250GB Had it for about 3yrs now but it's starting to show signs of failing so I'm thinking of replacing it.

    I need to know:

    1. How do I transfer all my saved game data to a new hard drive? Can I store it on my computer somehow, then transfer it to my new system later or does it have to be a transfer that takes place system-to-system? (if the later, what would I need to do that with?
    2. How do I erase my Xbox LIVE account from the old system so that if I sell it, the next person doesn't have access to my account?
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    :)

    How to transfer hard drive data from old xbox to new xbox???

    Are you getting an Xbox 360 E model? If so you could just pop the hard drive out the S model and plug it back into the E models Hard drive caddy. The slim hard drive can he plugged into the E model as it uses the same type of hard drive caddy setup.

  5. Hey thanks for the reply Auswolf7.

    Well I'm planning on selling my Slim with it's hard drive, or I won't get a good value on it. I don't particularly like the design of the 360 E, so I may simply get a replacement 360 S model. In either case I still need to find a way to transfer my data
    and clear my LIVE account before selling.

  6. You will need a hard drive transfer kit (data transfer cable).

    They come with instructions which can be viewed on the support pages.

    Ah ok fair enough the transfer kit is probably the way to go then, be sure to format your old hard drive before selling your old unit off. After you have done the licence transfer and all.

    HDD ( Hard Drive ) not detected in my Xbox 360

    To transfer data from one Xbox 360 hard drive to another, you’ll need the following:

    • Xbox 360 console
    • Current hard drive (must be smaller than the new drive)
    • New hard drive (Leet recommends 120GB or 250GB)
    • USB pen drive (Leet recommends two 16GB devices) or Microsoft Xbox 360 data transfer kit
    Follow these steps to transfer your data:

    Using an Xbox 360 data transfer cable

    This is ideal for transferring data from an old hard drive to a new drive on an Xbox 360 Elite console.

    1. Connect your old hard drive to your new Elite console.

    2. Turn the Xbox on and connect the big end of the transfer cable to the bigger hard drive.

    3. Plug in the USB end of the cable to a USB port on the Elite 360.

    4. Insert the bundled disc into your Elite and follow the steps.

    5. When the transfer is done (it may take up to an hour or so), disconnect the smaller hard drive, turn off your machine and plug in the new hard drive. Viol .

    Transferring without an Xbox 360 transfer kit

    We recommend this method for installing a new hard drive onto an old-style Xbox 360.



    1. Switch on your Xbox 360 console and insert a USB pen drive.

    2. Press the Xbox guide button on your controller and head to the far-right menu. Select ‘Memory’.

    3. Select the pen drive and follow the steps to format it if you need to (make sure you transfer any important files to a computer before wiping it).

    4. Press Y to transfer data, then select the data you want to transfer (make sure you choose your gamertag profile, system settings and any game saves you want to keep).

    5. Once the data has been moved to the USB pen, remove the drive and turn off the Xbox 360, before unplugging it from the mains and removing any cables attached to the console.

    6. Remove your old hard drive. Place your 360 vertically and push in the button to the left of the hard drive, then remove.

    7. Insert your new hard drive. Ensure it clips in correctly.

    8. Plug in your 360 again and switch it on.

    9. Insert the USB pen drive with your data on it.

    10. Go to ‘Memory’ and select the pen drive. Transfer all the data across to your new hard drive.

    11. If you need to transfer more data from your old hard drive, turn off the machine again and plug in your old hard drive. Turn it on, transfer more data to the USB pen drive, and repeat steps 5 to 10.

    12. You may need to transfer ownership rights of any downloaded content to your new hard drive. A prompt will flash up on screen if this is the case – follow the steps online to transfer rights to your new hard drive.
    Note: You can only do this once every 12 months.

    adding hard drive to 4GB?

    If you're trying to move data from an old original Xbox hard drive to a new slim console's hard drive, you will need a transfer cable with the latest dashboard version installed on the console.

    New xbox

    If you bought the same style of Xbox, just move your hard drive over.

    If you bought a different style, you can use a data transfer cable to transfer the information from your old hard drive to your new one.
