Hello,

I recently had my 360 video card take a dump on me. so instead of sending it off and waiting 6 weeks, I sent it off for repair and then proceded to go buy an Elite. I have received the transfer cable and disc from microsoft, but I was wondering if anybody has done the transfer of information from one hard drive to another and any pointers or pitfalls to look out for.

thanks

 

I think there are limited things you can transfer over to your new drive. There are some other things too, but I can't remember where I read this stuff at.

 

everything will tranfser in terms of user id's, game saves, settings, downloaded content, et all.

Just follow the directions that came with the cable/disc and it work fine. Mine did.

 

ok, how long did it take you to complete your transfer?

there was something about using a memory card first and then once transfered using the memory card as backup. but I don't think a memory card is going to backup 13gb of information.

 

I did hard drive to hard drive. I dont own a memory card.

I dont remember exactly how long it took. I think it was about 15 minutes or less.

 

thanks guys, I did go ahead and just do it, without the memory card involved. took an hour to transfer and seems that everything transfered even though the system said some files were corrupt and couldn't be transfered. seems like everything has transfered.
