What I would like to do is replace my old XBOX360 HDD with this new bigger drive.
Purpose being that after the recent Dashboard update, you can now save games to
the HDD. A 20.0 GB Drive just can't hold the various game files, updates, and the
games themselves with such little amount of space. So, what I have been able to
accomplish thus far is to create an image of my 20.0 GB drive using a program
called 360explorer or something like that. Here's where I need your help, I need
to know if it is possible to use the new drive in a 360. Secondly, is there a way
to format the drive so that it will work, and if so, how is that? If this is
possible, is there a way to extract the data from the original HDD or from the
image file to retain all save files, updates, etc. I would really appreciate the
help. All progress including pics, and walkthroughs, will be posted as they come
about.
