Is it possible to allow put Xbox 360 Hard drive in a new Xbox, without deleting anything?

Corelect · Sep 23, 2014

So my buds and I are going to have a sleep over, I'm usually that guy who will bring all the games. So I got a new game that was installed on my hard drive, I was wondering if I could put my hard drive into my friends xbox?

Thanks in advance

:)

Upgrading my hard drive.

Hello.

I am thinking of upgrading my hard drive in my xbox 360 slim, standard is 250GB, and I would like to put in a 500GB drive.

Is that possible without getting trouble?

Xbox 360 transfer cables

Is it possible to plug an xbox 360 original hard drive into an xbox 360 slim and use it to access that hard drive for storage? I want to buy a new xbox but I just got a 64 gig hard drive and I don't want to drop an extra 100 dollars just to transfer all
my content to a new hard drive I don't necessarily need.

As long as it's the same type of Xbox (Slim to Slim for example) there should be no issue. You would still need to be signed into Live in order to play the games on your hard drive though.

Thanks, we both have slims! Also will I need to be signed into my account on my friends Xbox, or it can be any xbox live account?

Hi DarkLight234, you will have to be signed into your account on your friends Xbox. Your friends can also be logged into the same console and play the game on their account too if they wish, but you will have to be logged into xbox live all the time.

talking about modding hard drives to be used in the 360 is not allowed here, you cannot put the old style drive in a new style slim without violating the terms of use.

Hi, have you changed anything like your XBOX 360's hard drive, perhaps upgraded to a larger one or replaced it completely with one purchased from an online store like eBay or Amazon Marketplace? If so, more than likely this hard drive you did get is a knockoff
and is not an original XBOX 360 hard drive. Since both of these games are original XBOX games, they require that an original XBOX 360 hard drive be in place in order for them to work.

Only the original XBOX 360 hard drives have the emulation files needed to play original XBOX games on the 360 console. If you haven't changed your hard drive at all and were able to play (without any changes done to your system in the last few months) then
this is more than likely an issue with your original hard drive. The only real test to see if this is the case would be to get a new hard drive or a used one as long as it was an original Microsoft manufactured hard drive and put that in the system and download
your profile and either game on it to see if it works. It's quite possible that the emulation files on the hard drive you have now are damaged in some way which is preventing these original XBOX games from starting up.
