Hard disk swapping

    Couple of Qs - Sorry if these have been asked - I searched the forum and interwibble and couldn't find the answer

    I’m due to receive a new 120 GB HDD for my 360 but it’s a far-east knockoff job that comes sans transfer cable. Can I continue to play the two games I have installed on the 20GB drive and swap to the 120GB drive for other games? Also, how does one get ones profile from 20GB to 120GB hard drive?

    Cheers!

    Thanks - was hoping not to have to get the memory card - the cost per megabyte is like 1990s prices!

    take the hard drive out of the case, use Xplorer360 to dump it and move it to the bigger hdd the same way. Worked great for me!

    It will void warranty, but have you seen hdd in 360 failing? The warranty would be only for the hard drive.

    BTW there is a cheaper way to get larger hdd for your 360, but thats another story

    Ah ok, I thought it would void the RROD. I think i'll try that out then.

    Bought an xbox for myself, all my saves are on the bro's HD thats why I want the transfer. :)

    no, no. your precious console is safe, you're voiding the hdd warranty only. there are fes good tutorials on the web how to do it, its very simple. Good Luck
