Transfer Live profile form old 20gb to new 120gb

Nedved85

Hi lads,

Just bought a new 120gb HDD from ebay so hopefully will be here in a week or so. Its not being supplied with a data transfer cable so if i recover my gamertag via xbox live will there be any downside to this like loosing game saves etc?im presuming there is, i dont mind loosing all the other data such as demos, videos etc..

Did the same myself.

Best thing to do is to pick up a 256mb memory unit too and transfer your game saves etc onto that.

You just recover your gamertag through xbox live and then copy your gamesaves over too.

Hey Nedved, let me know how you get on with this. I'm thinking of doing the same. Stuck with a 20GB hard drive isn't ideal for installing games and i seen to be constantly deleting demo's to free up space as it is!

I thought those things only work once, thats what the manual that comes with them says anyway?

I've a kit lying around that I was going to throw out but if they still work I'll hang onto it.

I think it's that you can only move you purchased items once and still have them work, not that the transfer cable can only be used once.

Just to let you know..if you have bought games/movies on live they will not work on your new hard drive unless you're online the whole time.
Also the divx playback is lost.
If you use the transfer kit I think you're ok.
People have been bitching about this for years but MS have done nothing about it. Me being one of them when I moved to an area with no broadband.
