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. :(:(

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By testman · Posted

      Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.
    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!
