COPYING ONE XBOX 360 HARD DRIVE TO ANOTHER
WARNING: You can NOT copy one Xbox 360 hard drive to another Xbox 360 hard drive using the “backup to image” option!!!! It is possible to transfer individual files & folders (game saves, demos, etc).

XBOX 360 HARD DRIVE SECURITY SIGNATURE (HASH NUMBER)
Xbox 360 hard drives contain a security signature which is unique to each drive. Hence, if you backup your hard disc to an image (a complete 20/60/120 gig hard disc image), and then write this image to a new Xbox 360 hard disc, the Xbox 360 will look at the security signature, see it is invalid for that drive and refuse to work with it.

If you have done this, the only way to fix the hard disc is to restore its own image back, replacing its own security signature. This can be done by restoring with an entire backup image or a “part” image either created by yourself or the Xport software – the Xport software will automatically create a “part” image of any Xbox 360 hard disk it sees as a safety measure.

...... more information can be found on page 20 of the Xport 360 Manual.pdf file. It can be found in the same folder as the Xport 360.exe file.

Answer:

Please refer to page 22 of the Xport 360 Manual.pdf file......

BROKEN HARD DISKS, SECURITY SECTORS AND “PART” BACKUP IMAGES

OK, so you didn’t read the section in this manual titled “Copying One Xbox 360 Hard Drive to Another”, or if you did – it was too late and your Xbox 360 no longer sees your hard disk.

Assuming you don’t have a backup image of your hard disk (with the security hash number intact), you have one last chance. If you have been running version v1.08 or above of the Xport software and you plugged in your hard disk then Xport will have made a safety backup of the hard disks security sectors – just as a safety measure incase you somehow managed to overwrite this vital part of your hard disk.

These files are stored in the following location:

Windows XP:
“C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application
Data\Datel\Xport 360\HDD Images”

Windows Vista:
“C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Datel\Xport 360\HDD Images”

The locations are hidden, so you will need to have “show hidden files and folders” enabled (see Windows help). You may need to be logged in with administrator rights on Vista.

Use the Xport 360 restore tool to restore the images to your hard disk. If you have had more than one Xbox 360 HDD plugged in then there will be more than one image file, in this case just restore each one in turn to
your hard disk and try them in your Xbox until the Xbox 360 sees the drive (one of them will be the correct one and hence will work).

On the Xbox 360, your drive should appear under the “System” tab, click “Memory” to go into “Storage Devices”. Assuming the drive now has the correct security sectors, it will probably need formatting by the Xbox, use the “Device Options” on the yellow button to format the drive.

Answer:

Standard video file formats, such as.wmv, .mov, .m4v, .mpg, .avi, etc. are incompatible with the Xbox 360's internal file system. Standard Audio file formats, such as .mp3, .mp4, .wav, etc. are also incompatible with the Xbox 360's internal file system.

These files cannot be copied to the Xbox 360's hard drive using the Xport and used properly. The Xbox 360 uses a proprietary file format and will only play back audio / video files that have been encoded specifically for the Xbox 360.

Please refer to the Xbox 360 owners manual for instructions regarding copying / playing audio or video files on the Xbox 360 console.
