How to use an xbox 360 transfer kit
To successfully transfer your data from one Xbox 360 Hard Drive to another Xbox 360 Hard Drive, you must have the following components:
  • Xbox 360 console
  • Two Xbox 360 Hard Drives
  • The data transfer cable
  • The data transfer software

You have the option to perform a one-time transfer of all content from your existing Xbox 360 Hard Drive (source drive) to another Xbox 360 Hard Drive (destination drive). Whether you decide to do this or not, understand that both drives are fully compatible with your Xbox 360 console and will be after the transfer is completed.
Important Content can only ever be moved from a smaller source drive to a destination drive that is the same size or larger and only one time. For example, the following hard drive pairings allow transfer from source to (">") destination:

20GB > 20GB
20GB > 60GB
20GB > 120GB
60GB > 60GB
60GB > 120GB
120GB > 120GB
20GB > 250GB
60GB > 250GB
120GB > 250GB
250GB > 250GB
Note If you intend to move content from an existing hard drive, such as your 20GB hard drive, to a new destination hard drive, such as to a 60GB hard drive, do not use the destination hard drive before you perform this procedure or you will lose whatever content that you have previously put on that destination drive. The destination drive will contain its preloaded content. The contents of the source drive will be erased.

Steps to transfer your content from one Xbox 360 Hard Drive to another Xbox 360 Hard Drive

  1. Turn off your Xbox 360 console with your existing hard drive (the source drive) still attached.
  2. Disconnect all accessories from the Xbox 360 console's controller ports.
  3. Turn on your Xbox 360 console. Connect and turn on a controller. You will need a controller during content transfer.
  4. Connect one end of the transfer cable to the destination drive.
  5. Connect the other end of the transfer cable to the Xbox 360 console's rear USB port.

    Important Make sure that you connect the transfer cable to the back port on your Xbox 360 console. Do not connect the transfer cable to a port on the front of your Xbox 360 console.
  6. Insert the included Hard Drive Transfer Disc into your Xbox 360 console's disk tray. Instructions appear on the screen.

    Important The transfer cable connects to the destination drive in only one orientation. Do not force the connector on. Connect the cable in the orientation shown.
