[infamousdice]

well i have an 80 G HD that am using for my xbox but got no use to it now since i got Xbox live so what i wanna know is if i could connect the xbox hard drive to my computer and transfer the files directly with out having to FTP cuz it takes to long and i have alot of games in there i wanna know if i could connect my computer HD and the xbox hd my computer hd being master and then transfer what ever i have in the xbox HD to my Computer so i copuld make a back up of everything and then burn it to a DVD to play with my stock HD

[infamousdice]

do i have to unlock the HD or what and am talking about the regular HD for the 1st Xbox

so you have an 80 gig hd in your xbox now? if thats the case you have to unlock it hook it into your comp as master and spend days transfering games to the drive (with no progress bar might add)

[GamezR2EZ]

you could dump that 80 gig drive to your computer in about 4 hours i believe or just start the transfer and go to work or bed, that would do it via FTP i dont know a time range on a direct conection through the IDE i know it is not faster that is for sure


sorry bout the double post

InFaMoUs3DiC3:yeh unlock it and connect it up. ide wud be faster than ftp btw.

GamezR2EZ:and theres an edit button next to your last post. you can use that if you need to

[GamezR2EZ]

oh yeah i see it now, "Modify" good to know

and regarding my last post

that would do it via FTP i dont know a time range on a direct conection through the IDE i know it is not faster that is for sure

i was saying ide was faster that ftp, but i reread it and got confused myself

but on this subject, is xplorer360 really the best thing out there? thats the only one that i have got to work but it seems like it could use some more development

i dunno. ive never put a xbox hdd into a pc. yet i helped some guy today with hdm....

[infamousdice]

so what should i do man i need help i wanna put windows vista in this 80 G HD

[GamezR2EZ]

easiest way is too do a long ftp, that way you dont mess anything up
just copy all the files to you computer and wake up the next mrning and unplug it cause the backup should be complete
this takes a long time but it is easyier and there is no thought required...

[Kingofrandom78]

no thought required...

if only that applied to everything...
