evil1182 Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 I have the 20 gig and I want to buy the 60 or 120 gig, with the new update coming out to install games to the HDD, the 20 gig isn't going to cut it. How do I transfer my save files and all my other DLC to the new drive?

RdSoxFan618 Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Just a suggestion: Why don't you just put the disk in, that way you don't have to spend $100 on a new Hard Drive? And is Microsoft that stupid? There's gotta be more of a catch than going to Blockbuster and renting and burning.

Burning the game to the system speeds up loading times and will help the disk last longer.

BigRog Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 You need the disk of the game you ripped onto your system, that exact disk not another one, in the system when you try to play the file off your system or it won't allow you to play the game. The exact disk because it records serial numbers. Link to comment https://www.mvpmods.com/forums/topic/35864-xbox-360-hdd-replacement/#findComment-542668 Share on other sites More sharing options...
RdSoxFan618 Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 You don't need that exact disk ever again if you are ripping the game onto your hard drive.

BigRog Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 DJ, it consists of ripping the game onto the xbox and then playing it off your HD while the game is in the system. It is a new feature Microsoft is implementing into the xbox on the Nov 19th System update.

The exact disk because it records serial numbers. You don't need the exact disc, just a copy of the game. My friend installed his Gears Of War on my harddrive and as long as I had MY Gears in the drive it worked.
