  • @TheTechLoft
    @TheTechLoft  Před 13 lety

    @cuellopolis is the USB memory fairly recent? Is the size between 1Gb and 16 Gb? Have you formated the USB memory?

  • @TheTechLoft
    @TheTechLoft  Před 13 lety

    @Acks2000 YES. the hard drives are different...you'll need to save from the OLD console and copy onto the NEW console

  • @elijahnailor2736
    @elijahnailor2736 Před 11 lety +1

    you can use any usb/ flash dive as long as it fits in the usb port in the xbox. also you will want at least an 8 GB for reasonable space to tranfer content becuase the format takes up about 1.5 - 2 GB of memory

  • @dave6264

  • @yosoymoequius
    @yosoymoequius Před 11 lety +1

    I believe when you transfer the data from one hard drive to the flash drive, the information from you original hard drive is erased. So the process is not really copying the information but moving it.

  • @hieeer
    @hieeer Před 3 lety +1

    Not all heroes wear capes haha thank you do much i was thinking i had to buy the transfer cable you just saved me any where from 20 to like 70$

    The original XBox 360 HD's are easy to find at gamestop if you are wondering ( the highest ive found so far was a 60 GB)

  • @TheTechLoft
    @TheTechLoft  Před 14 lety

    @farleyr123 if you have to do more than 1 transfer, then it should be ok. break it up into sections.

  • @D4rkl0rd7271
    @D4rkl0rd7271 Před 13 lety

    @mikeyy1603 nope... map packs are stored to gamertag memory.. it will still be on your old xbox, but you have to re-download it to the new xbox. so your brother will still have the map pack. just not any story data, or split screen data.

  • @TheTechLoft
    @TheTechLoft  Před 14 lety

    @EpicDemon75 that's exactly what I did. Bought the new slim, copied over my saves and sold the old console. Good luck!

  • @TheTechLoft
    @TheTechLoft  Před 13 lety

    @Chris62007 damn, i think this happened to me but i i think i got them to work...but i forgot how to do it. if there's no reset button on the back, try just holding down the xbox button on the controller for a few extra seconds..

  • @TheTechLoft
    @TheTechLoft  Před 13 lety

    @cuellopolis hmmm, do u have access to another USB memory stick? A friend? just to test?

  • @dfutyut2
    @dfutyut2 Před 13 lety

    @hiynaboy yes it did. Thanks.

  • @TheTechLoft
    @TheTechLoft  Před 13 lety

    @LewisJones28 Marketplace remembers what you purchased and anything you've purchased can be downloaded again for free...but saved games and personal media will be lost..

  • @TheTechLoft
    @TheTechLoft  Před 13 lety

    @bwprh are the USB memory sticks being detected?

  • @antonr91
    @antonr91 Před 10 lety

    Does doing it this way transfer everything that the data kit would, or are there some things that using a USB just wont do due to xbox rules or what ever?

  • @zaephia
    @zaephia Před 12 lety

    @berk080789 i'm sure you could just use a portable hard drive in the same way as you can as shown in the vid, so yeah

  • @FlamingYoda339
    @FlamingYoda339 Před 12 lety

    @Cmunro123 From what I'm seeing (and gonna have to do) after it's on the flash drive, take out current hard drive, put in new drive, insert flash drive and copy new files in, and do this until you have them all.

  • @itookacanuk
    @itookacanuk Před 11 lety

  • @goilo888
    @goilo888 Před 11 lety +1

    I think what he was talking about but didn't say it is when you buy an XBox 360 Slim and you want to transfer your data from your old original XBox 360 you would use this method. The hard drives for both machines are completely different.... By the way it now impossible to buy HD's for the original 360 - Microsoft now forcing you to upgrade when your puny 20Gb fills up with game info and new content downloads.

  • @jacktheripper51
    @jacktheripper51 Před 10 lety +1

    whats cool is that it works from external hard-drive to another. I transferred content from USB to USB using the same principle

    @Mr2old4fun not if you're transferring the data to a slim

  • @throwedtoad
    @throwedtoad Před 11 lety

    Andrew-yes and no. You would have to do it 512MB at the time. 001netnin- not sure exactly what your question is but you can transfer as much data as you want as long as your flash drive will hold it. You don't need two xboxs just switch hard drives.

  • @qBzFiNesTBiGsB1
    @qBzFiNesTBiGsB1 Před 13 lety

    @SalsTavern would you lose all of the data even the data that you have not collected on the usb ? cause i just want some songs from my bro in laws harddrive with it delete it or he'll still have it ?

    Thanks! I still have one of the old sexy looking white ones. And I love it. It's a refurb. It stays on pretty much all day every day because I'm always playing Fallout, hahaha. So I was wondering what to do if I have to get another one. Thanks!

  • @kretanguy
    @kretanguy Před 13 lety

  • @Jonneyfive
    @Jonneyfive Před 12 lety

  • @Acks2000
    @Acks2000 Před 13 lety

    @WestonEvans Před 13 lety

    Okay so I want to transfer a profile with specific dlc to a new hard drive. This is because I dont have access to the profile information anymore and would like to transfer dlc as playable content for all profiles. Now my question is, would the DLC work on the new hard drive as well or would i have to transfer liscenses again?

  • @alanwhite495
    @alanwhite495 Před 7 lety

    How do I transfer my Skyrim DLCs from my cousins 360 to my 360 Slim without the cable, or would I have to reinstall them from my friends disc, or sign in and use the codes I have for Dawnguard and Dragonborn

    @Android602715 Před 11 lety

    You can use this any time w only 1 console, just have your old HD, plug in your USB/memory card, then do the transfer data, then turn off Xbox and change the HD to the new one, then transfer the data from the memory unit to the new HD, and done

  • @calvintanner80
    @calvintanner80 Před 8 lety

    OK, I have an Xbox One that supports backwards compatibility for the Xbox 360, and I have digital game downloads that I downloaded for free from the Xbox live Arcade marketplace plus some saved games. Would I need to buy an Xbox 360 Slim plus a transfer cable to transfer games from 1 system to another, buy 360 games to play on my Xbox One, or wait til my Xbox One is full backwards compatible to download all digital titles from xbox live arcade.

  • @BoneThugsRTheBest
