Harddrive upgrade installation?

[tomtolleson]

Hi! I searched the forum for a post concerning this and couldn't find anything. Forgive me if this has been discussed:


I'd like to install a bigger hard drive into my XBOX. However, I need to copy all of my XBMC, and Unleash X and dashboard files to the new drive before I install it.

Is there a How To regarding this? What file system format should I use? Any other pointers?

Thanks!

See xbox-scene.com (http://www.xbox-scene.com) for their tutorials, FAQ, and forums as that is not directly related to XBMC (but applies to the Xbox is general no matter if you have XBMC installed or not):

What I will tell you is the you use FTP to backup all your files to your computer over the network, and if your new harddrive is over 256GB in size then you will need to use "xbpartitioner" (an Xbox software application), here are some threads which inform you of what happens if you do not use xbpartitioner:
