I have an older X-Box that keeps crashing, of course Microsoft will look @ and fix for $90.00, so I bought another one from a pawn shop. My actual question is does X-Box have a data cable that I can transfer my hard drive from one to another, hate to run into town and find out they do not make one.
I think, and I may be wrong, that the only way to do it would for the boxes to be modded. You couldnt do a hard drive copy but you could FTP the files from your old xbox to your computer and then down to your new xbox.
Might try that, I just do not want to lose all my EA Sports awards, I want to go buy NCAA 2006 Football.
I'm not an expert on this type of thing, mostly since I don't have an Xbox, but the modding thing sounds like a nice solution. I also wonder if you could possibly get a memory card and use that to transfer data from one HD to another. The only thing is I don't know how the Xbox works; I assume this would be possible, although depending on how much data you have, it may take a little while. So basically a really slow $20-$30 data cable, if it can even do the job. Hopefully someone with a Xbox and Xbox memory card(s) can explain this better. You can do a lot of things with a modded Xbox though, so it may just be better to mod it, FTP the files, and use these features for anything else.
I have never used the mem cards so I dont know if you can do it or not, but if you want to copy the hard over to the new box you have to have a modded (HARD or SOFT) x-box.. http://www.xbox-scene.com/ all the info you need is at that link, you just have to dig for it...
The only way to do it without invalidating your X-Box (and I mean to keep Microsoft from banning from playing you on live) would be to use a memory card and copy the files. One card can get a decent amount of stuff on there. You'll have to fill up the card and transfer a decent amount of times depending how much stuff you got on there, but it's the best way to go.
