XBox 360 - Transferring Data from 20GB to 120GB

Just bought a 120GB drive for my 360. I was wondering what the transfer cable wouldn't process. Will I have to retrieve my LIVE account and gamertag? Will it transfer my DLC?

    It should transfer everything. The process will basically wipe the old HDD (still usable, just blank).

    Cool. Thanks. The box promotional text is incredibly vague on what exactly it transfers.

    Honestly, I've never done it. But as I understand it, it will copy files that can't even be moved to a MU normally due to copy protection. I think it'd be pretty rare if something didn't transfer at all using this tool.

    Seems to be working OK. It did tell me that some of the data stored on my 20GB was corrupted and didn't transfer, but it's got my LIVE account and gamertag, and I didn't see anything that was missing from my saved material...
