20gb To 120gb
« on: November 10, 2007, 02:37:00 PM »
Okay, I have bought an elite and i have backed up an image of my 20gb from my previous system with xplorer360.  How can I, if at all, put my game saves and profile onto my 120gb without formatting it incorrectly?  I am also wondering if anyone has an image saved of the 120gb HDD before anything is on it, fresh out of the box.

I am no longer in possession of my old hard drive but I have the image of it on my computer through xplorer360.

I can tell you what not to do;

Don't restore the image of the 20 to the 120. I just tried that via an xsata and now have a 120 that cannot be recognised.

I am now hunting through the forum trying to see if there is a way to undo my blunder.

This should be possible to do.  Load the 20GB image in xplorer360 using Drive->Open->Image, and extract everything under /content/<profileID> on partition 3 to a directory on your PC. Do Drive->Close, then Drive->Open->Harddrive/Memcard to connect to your 120GB drive, browse to partition 3, and insert the directories you just extracted from the image onto the new drive.

Figuring out your profileID isn't real easy, especially if you have a bunch of IDs on your old 20GB drive.  What I did was recover my Live ID on the 120GB drive, played one game and made one save, then connected it to the PC.  That way there is a single profileID (besides the generic 000... ID) under /content on partition 3 on the 120GB drive, and I just copied all directories under that same ID from the 20GB drive to the 120GB drive.

Note that after I did this I had to recover my ID a 2nd time on the 120GB drive, but I still had all my saves after I did that.  At least it looked like I did, the couple games I tried worked fine.

XBOX BC saves are under /Compatibility/Xbox1/<something I can't remember>, so if you copy the stuff under there you should get your bc saves as well.  I had some errors reading the files under that path on my 20GB drive, so I was only able to copy some of the files.  As long as get everything under UDATA, I think you'll be ok.
