Got the Microsoft Data Migration Kit…. And it Worked!
Thursday, January 21st, 2010
So, all you thousands of readers out there know that I just got a new Xbox 360 Elite after the devastating “Red Ring of Death” took the life of my second Xbox 360! Well left behind after the devastation was the 20 gig hard drive from the dead Xbox 360. Now when you send the box back to Microsoft they tell you to remove your hard drive… But, I didn’t return mine to Microsoft (and wait the 6 weeks). I returned mine to Costco (click the link on “my second Xbox 360″).
So I finally got the the real Microsoft Data Migration Kit (for $12), and it worked and was easy. Here’s the skinny:
1. Remove any games or attached devices from the xbox 360 and turn it off
2. Attach the old hard drive that you want to transfer the data from to your Xbox 360.
3. Attach the transfer cable from the USB on the back of the Xbox 360 to the hard drive your transferring the data to. Keep in mind that the process will scrub (erase…you idiot) the new hard drive of all data, as well as leave the old hard drive blank when all is said and done.
4. Turn on the Xbox 360 and connect the controller… you’ll need it.
5. Insert the disk and follow the directions. It will take 20 to 40 minutes depending on how mush sh*t you have on your hard drive.
So that’s it… very easy!
Moral of the story… There is no short cut! Just buy the f*#king kit from Microsoft for 12 bucks and your problem will be solved. Don’t be an idiot like me and buy it of some jerk-off on Ebay!
