Hands-on Migration from 20GB Hard Drive to 120GB Hard Drive!

Microsoft has finally released a larger hard drive for the 360. Most of us have been in need since the release of the Video Marketplace back in November of last year. This past weekend Microsoft launched the 120GB Hard Drive along with the ELITE 360 and some other accessories. The "120GB" Hard Drive comes with a "data transfer cable" and "data transfer software". The data transfer cable is used to transfer data from your existing "20GB" 360 Hard Drive to your new 120GB Hard Drive.


NOTE: Unforunately ELITE 360 owners did and will not receive a Data Transfer Cable in the box but can request one from Microsoft HERE.



Package Contents:




120GB Hard Drive and Data Transfer Cable



The data transfer cable can be used once per console - as the drive is marked and the old 20GB is completely erased. Game Demo's, TV Shows, Arcade Games, Themes, Gamerpics and all Game Data is transfered without issue. Movies from the Video Marketplace will transfer "BUT" will not be accessible. Watch your movies FIRST. The process itself is very simple and takes less than an hour. If the process is interrupted, all of your data remains on the old 20GB Drive. Once the process completes, the old 20GB Drive is completely erased.



Connect 120GB Hard Drive to Data Transfer Cable leaving 20GB Attached to Console




Connect 120GB Hard Drive to 360 via the Data Transfer Cable




Power on Console and Insert Data Transfer Software (CD-ROM) into 360 DVD-ROM Drive




Select "Transfer Content" to begin transfer





Confirm Format and Transfer
:


Transfer is complete (less than 40 minutes)




Nothing more to say expect the transfer worked as Microsoft promised. Get yours today!
