I am trying to upgrade to a bigger Hdd via the xenium OS disk tools.  It is taking very long, it has been transferring the E: drive for about 25 min already.  Anything wrong here?

25 hours?  No way, 120 gigs will take more like 5 days.  The upgrade wizard is NEVER recommended, even for a stock hd, at least by me.  Slayers is far superior in every way to the wizard and never corrupts anything.

BTW, using the XOS upgrade wizard for stock --> bigger works just fine wink.gif (Just don't forget to clear E:\cache when its done).

5 days for 120gig is BS. 25 to 36 would be a good average although I have seen some go longer. You can also do an Xbox to Xbox transfer if you have 2 modded available. Use Avalaunch or Unleashx for dash and connect through file manager, it's very fast. Ther is nothign wrong with the OS upgrade wizard, it was just never intended for large transfer, just setup from stock to mod.

I transfered 120 gigs from one xbox to another and it took about 7 hours using ftp xbox to xbox.  I have heard from many ppl this process taking 3+ days so its not bs.
