Yeah... problem is when I selected restore partition 2, it just sat there. The bar would not move, and it wouldn't restore. Believe me, I tried it a few times.

I am assuming that this is probably not going to be the same experience for everyone. Otherwise, there wouldn't be an 'alternative' manual way to do it.

Might be because you're using a 160GB drive.

Im not going to bother with Cache partition, no point really, just let it get all updates, unless of course it does have an issue, lol.

@.Kick, you would have to use a Memory card to transfer saves etc, and I would recommend redownloading all old DLC again onto new HDD, like Maps, etc.

Right for anyone that has done this, I have now completed everything.

but 3 games refuse to load their save games.

Fable 2

Forza 2

Too Human

Does anyone else that did an upgrade and have these games had any problems?

I dont really want to start again for these games, as they are all time consuming.

Any info from anyone?

I don't know about game saves, but I do know that installed games are linked to the Hard Drive's serial (i.e. if you take your hard drive around to a friend's, the installed 360 game will still work providing you have the disk - but if you transferred the image to another hard drive, it wont) so it is entirely possible such protection exists. I think I lucked out, when I transferred my data over, no games saves I had imposed such restrictions =\

Kushan did you have any of the 3 games I mentioned?

I checked everything I had, they were the only ones.

All downloads are usually tied to the console not storage device.

But I think those games have extra protection, as I read they cannot be copied to a memory stick even. Not sure about moving, so I might invest in a Memory Card. to test out.

Nope, I didn't have any of those games until AFTER I swapped the drive =\

Also, when I mentioned "installed games", I meant HDD installed 360 games, not downloaded ones.

Ah ok, makes more sense.

Right now I will survive without those games, and will look for a Memory card, anone got one to sell or lend?

Hopefully I can move them without issue, that would be great.

After reading this thread and experiencing recent problems myself I just bought the right WDBEV 120 drive. However, because of fiddling before I did research, I need to get my hands on a hddss.bin from a 20gig(since I think I did bad things to my original), so I can put my 20gb in my xbox and transfer saves. Serious pain. :(:(

    • Marshall Major V Bluetooth headphones are now up to 47% off on Amazon

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Marshall Major V Bluetooth headphones are now up to 47% off on Amazon by Ivan Jenic The Marshall Major V in Midnight Blue is currently $89.99 on Amazon, down from $169.99. That's 47% off and $80 saved on a pair of wireless on-ear headphones from one of the most recognizable names in audio. The Major V is Marshall's take on a long-lasting everyday headphone. The headphones deliver 100+ hours of wireless playtime, which puts them in a completely different category from most Bluetooth headphones that hover around 30-40 hours. You’re charging this thing once a week at most, and with wireless charging supported, you don’t have to worry about additional cables. Marshall promises its signature sound profile, with strong bass, smooth mids, and clear highs. There’s a customizable M-button, which you can set to quickly access Spotify Tap, your EQ settings, or a voice assistant. The design is foldable and lightweight at 186 grams, so it’s easy to pack for travel. And finally, the faux leather finish gives the Major V a sleek, premium look. At $89.99, the Major V Midnight Blue is a genuinely strong buy for anyone who wants a reliable daily headphone without paying premium prices. It’s also worth mentioning that the Cream and Brown variants are also discounted to $89.99, though from a lower original price of $99.99.

    • UK to ban under-16s from social media following a six-week trial with teenagers

      Age 16, old enough to get a full-time job, your own bank account, a passport, get married, even join the military and go to war. But talking to your friends on the internet? Oh hell no!

    • Forza Horizon 6 gets big bug-fixing and balancing update

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Forza Horizon 6 gets big bug-fixing and balancing update by Taras Buria Today, Playground Games released a big Forza Horizon 6 update with a long list of fixes, patches, and balancing tweaks that the studio promised earlier. Version 375.327 is now available on Steam, Microsoft Store, and Xbox, offering users improvements for AI, audio, design, performance, road discovery, upgrades, visuals, online play, and more. Some of the most notable changes in the Series 2 update include rebalanced drivatars, particularly their difficulty and race start behavior. As such, the game should be more balanced on higher difficulty levels, and AI cars should not shoot out when the race starts as if they have rocket boosters. Speaking of difficulty, developers nerfed Drag Tires physics for a more expected and realistic behavior. They are no longer the go-to option for record-breaking times in road racing, and all leaderboard entries with drag tires will be removed. Completionists will also be glad to get a new feature that lets you see road discovery percentage in each region, which should make discovering all roads easier while keeping it quite challenging and interesting (I spent quite a long time finding the last road). Festival Playlist is also getting some much-needed fixes, including patches for bugs that allowed completing Seasonal Jobs ahead of time or where weekly challenges would not unlock for some players. Developers will retroactively give reward points to all who could not complete all challenges due to these bugs. Other changes include changes to Horizon Play progression so that it is easier to reach Level 100, audio improvements on lower-spec devices, fixes for visual glitches, including pixelated smoke, and more. Developers also addressed the currently non-working Eliminator, an online mode gamers used to farm credits with a Hummer EV exploit. Playground Games plans to re-enable it soon. As a gesture of goodwill, players will get a free McLaren Sabre. Those who used the exploit will not be banned, but developers plan to roll back credits to a maximum of 10M for all who farmed credits using the exploit. You can find the complete changelog for the latest Forza Horizon 6 update here.
