Thinking of getting a bigger hard drive ready for all the new games coming out. Only have a 20g at mo so thought
about getting a 60/120 but has anyone swapped their hard drive info onto another one?

Hey chaps. Firstly, let me apologise for my lack of 'being-around-ness' on Live and on the forums in recent months. I'm blaming a combination of internet problems, changed working

hours, and my mate suggesting I play Fallout 3 :roll: I will be back though... can't let ALL my mojo slip away before the release of FM3.


Anyway Nemesis, about this data transfer thingy... I did one a few months ago (20gb onto a 120gb) and it was fairly painless. It did take a while (about an hour), but I put that down

to all the Forza paints, lol. Also, before I did it, I removed the games that I'd installed on the drive (from discs, NOT downloads), 'cos I've heard that it's quicker just to re-install any

games on your new drive later.


Before you buy the hard-drive and cable separately though, I'd look into whether you can actually transfer data to a second hand hard-drive. You only get one shot at the transfer,

as the system deletes data from your smaller drive as it transfers (sneaky old Microsoft :evil: ). The one I bought from a shop had the cable with it, and was obviously completely

clear to start with. Another tip the guy gave me was to disconnect from Live before you do the transfer, to eliminate the risk of any possible interuptions to the system.

Most importantly: BE PATIENT ! The transfer will take a while, and at points it looks like it's not doing anything at all, when it is.


It's well worth doing, because you can install shit loads of games on it, and as we know, the lack of deafening 'hum' when a disc is going makes a big difference.

Hope this info helps mate. See y'all in a bit.

Good call Spacedman. Whether its quicker or not, the games you've got on disc can be transferred at any time. Also there's no way you want to get a 2nd hand 60/120gb hdd because that's asking for M$ to steal back anything you've bought from them. Let's not forget that they are thieving bastards.

Hope the transfer went well Nemesis.


A system where private central banking families create money out of nothing, then charge entire countries interest for the privilege of using it, is the biggest and worst criminal fraud ever perpetrated upon society.

EDUCATE YOURSELF ABOUT MONEY CREATION
