Hey.
I bought a new 120GB for my already-modded xbox.
Now I need to copy the stuff from the old 80GB to the new drive.
Having never copied a HDD of this size before, I was wondering what the best method would be...?
File structure has to stay intact, of course.

All depends on what sort of modchip/dashboard you're running ... lots of info on google though

It's an xbox 1.0
modded with an xecuter 2.3 lite

I was banned from xbox LIVE because one day I forgot the chip was still on.
I replaced the eeprom file, which worked... but I was banned again 24hours later.
What I need is a new HDD, new eeprom, and I'll create a new LIVE account.
I've got the new eeprom ready to go, and have purchased the new HDD. Now I just need to copy the data so I can swap the hard drives.

I'll check out those links, thanks.

I don't know much about the xbox, but can't you just ghost the drive?

Probably, but I've never done it before.
Which means I have to go get Norton Ghost...

nevermind.

New question:

I unlocked the 80GB HDD in the xbox, removed it, designated it as a slave drive, and placed it in my PC. When I boot up, it doesn't show the drive under My Computer, or even in Norton Ghost. Any idea why? Is it because there's a 'C' drive on the HDD? Is it conflicting with my master 120GB HDD?

I can't ghost it if I can't see it!

The 'Device Manager' lists it and says "the device is working properly", but it doesn't actually appear on my computer... wtf?

This usually happens due to jumper settings.

Make sure that you have jumpers on both drives set properly. ie. one drive as master and the other as slace. Don't leave them to cable select.

Does your bios report the drive correctly?

I think so.
When I boot up, it lists both master and slave devices present.

I'm not familiar with xbox at all, but I googled the problem. Someone else had the same issues, he managed to get the drive recognized in windows by moving the drive to the master postion on the secondary ide.

Cool, I'll give that a try. Thanks.

No Dice.

The bios recognises it, and the device manager says it's fine, but windows doesn't see it.
One thing... in the device manager where it lists the drives on the hard disk, it doesn't show any. (?)
