360 HDD data transfer question

[Goldenballs]

Hi guys,

I'm thinking of buying a larger HDD for my 360, but can you transfer the data from a 20GB to a 60GB using the data transfer kit?

I seem to recall someone selling a 60GB on here as they couldn't transfer data to it, but I couldn't find the thread to check.

Yeah someone said it didn't work because the CD is expecting it to be a 20GB transferring to a 120gb

I couldn't transfer from a 60GB to 120GB.
I'm sure 20GB to 60GB won't work either as the manual and the on screen text refer only to the 20GB and 120GB scenario.

You'll probably need to wait until MS release the 60GB HDD on its own.

The reason for this is probably that MS wanted to stop people from using other HDDs with the 360. When someone finally cracked the encryption on the 360 to hook up any old HDD they had to format them to the correct HDD partition size (120GB).

The ****ters.

Could I transfer stuff like the COD4 map pack and XBLA games via memory card?

Or would I have to re-download?

It should work and you'll probably have to be signed in to move them, but some items cannot be moved or copied at all.
