• 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

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.

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.

you can take the hard drive from one console to another no problem.

There is only restriction to this... the only way you can use the hard drive from the old style XBOX 360 on the new "SLIM" 360 is the following:

Using a USB transfer kit, you can plug the old style xbox hard drive into the new SLIM XBOX. You can then transfer stuff to the new XBOX. Note that in this setup, you can't use the old style hard drive for anything other than transferring stuff over.

If both XBOX 360 are the old style, there is no problem, just pop the hard drive off one 360 and plug it into the other one.

Note that disassembling the hard drive unit (to take the bare drive out) is not supported, and is a terms of use violation.

Alright here is what you need to know,

- You can just import your Profile on the new HDD via downloading it.

- You can copy your game saves onto the Flash Drive and copy that onto the new HDD once you attached it on your 360.

- Game saves I don't think they are linked to your game profile but it should work just fine.
