    using a transfer cable


    Hi I just recently bought a new 250 gb xbox my elite still works but is pretty old and I wish to transfer all my content to the new xbox. I have read this http://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-360/accessories/set-up-transfer-cable and
    the only thing I am unsure of is can I update the new xbox to latest software without having my account info on it because the way I understand it is that I'am suppose to update the new xbox and then transfer my data from the old hard drive to the new one
    . any help would be a appreciated, thanks.

    :)

    Can an official xbox transfer cable be able to transfer data from a dead xbox 360 HDD to a new one?

    Depends on the definition of dead... most likely not.

    Should be able to. I just tested it myself by not being signed into my account and using the steps listed

    here    . If you have any problems, don't hesitate to post back.

    Yes, you should be able to update the console without having an account signed in to it. It will prompt you immediately, so if you don't have auto sign in enabled, it won't even ask.

    If the drive itself is dead, then no. If the drive is functional and the Xbox it was pulled from is dead, then probably yes as long as it wasn't corrupted or damaged.

    not sure if you can if the drive is dead it may not A: be detectible, or B: able to transfer to the new drive, all I can say is give it a shot ya got nothing to loose.

    Using the transfer cable

    Since the pop-up didn't come out, try a different USB port as OptimusMegamus suggested

    If all fails, let Xbox Support know about this issue as it might be a bug.

    My personal advice is that you use a 16GB USB Flash Drive to transfer content from your old console to the new one, not as handy as the transfer cable, but still does the job.

    Let me know how it goes.

    Using the transfer cable

    As you've said there should be a pop-up when you have it connected to the new console with the old HDD.

    Have you tried the rear USB ports?

    If you have then maybe the cable is damaged in some way to which I suggest you either contact Microsoft or the retailer in which it was bought from & try to get a replacement.
