Upgrading to a new (used) 360 HDD

Evander

So I took the plunge, and bought a used 360 120 gig HDD, only now I have no idea how to transfer the data over. I have the transfer cable itself, which I borrowed from a very generous friend of mine, but he did not remeber any disc coming with it, and could not find his instructions.

According the the MSoft website there is a disc that I need, though. Is this the case? If so, is there any way for me to get a hold of this disc?

I appreciate any help folks can give me. I currently have 260 megs free on my 20 gig HDD, and the XBLA games and RB tracks just keep coming.

Evander

So, no one knows anything?

I think you're out of luck though I suppose you could call Microsoft and give them a good sob story. You might have to try your luck with eBay to get the disc.

Evander

Yeah, with ebay I'm looking at something like 50 bucks, which is insane.

But I might try calling them, I guess.

there is a disc

I thought MS gave away the transfer cable and disc for free, but that may have been just for new Elite owners. It might be worth a call to MS support to see if they'll help you. The worst they can say is no. Similarly, you might want to ask at a GameStop/EB and see if you can sweet talk them out of one or just borrow one. You never know, and it'd beat ebaying.

It's also bundled with new 120gb HDDs, obviously, so perhaps you could find someone else in your area who's bought one.

OR you know, you could buy, use the disc and return. just be extra nice about opening it and handling it

I have 50 arcade games and a shitload of RB tracks... the Halo 3 maps, bunch of other stuff and still have like 6GB left which I use to rent movies from time to time.

Live is a Hard Drive in the sky... no need to really keep EVERYTHING local that you have ever downloaded unless your connection is just super slow... IMO anyway

Evander, I can mail you my disc if need be.

The Elites don't come with the tranfer cable, you have to go online and do the form. We just picked one up and had to go through the same.
