Xbox 360 HDD


Recommended Posts

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?

im in the same boat buddy, and that has annoyed the **** outta me!!!

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. :(:(

    • AMAZON needs to take total accountability for this.

    • Nice, hope they *finally* fixed the issue with the NTFS driver where the system would completely brick during large file copies using the built in driver. It's been broken for years requiring me to use the older, slower, NTFS-3G FUSE driver.
    • Windows 11 KB5094126 BSODing, freezing, forcing BitLocker lockout, breaks OneDrive, and more by Sayan Sen Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 last week as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. While Microsoft has so far not acknowledged any major problems with the release, some users online are running into problems. These range from OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, BitLocker recovery lockouts, to blue screens and BSODs. The most common one seems to be happening with HP systems wherein affected users say they hit 0xc0430001 BSOD (blue screen of death) error code after the KB5094126 update. We wonder if this could be related to the recent bug we covered on HP devices wherein the ongoing Secure Boot certificate updates are leading to similar issues. While we are not certain, users affected by this issue likely need to ensure that the boot.stl file is included on the installation media (such as a USB installer or ISO), if the above-mentioned dynamic updates are deployed. If this file is missing, computers may fail to boot from the installation media and could display the error 0xc0430001. This STL file is used by Secure Boot to verify that the boot files are trusted, so it must match the same Windows version and system architecture. To ensure the file is included, Microsoft recommends using the Update WinPE script, which automatically updates the image and handles the required files. Alternatively, you can manually copy the boot.stl file from the Windows\Boot\EFI folder on a Windows device and place it in the matching folder on your installation media before deploying the updated image. Aside from blue screening some users also note their systems have been freezing following the update. This could be happening to Lenovo PCs specifically. In the case of the OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, a user figured out that there could be a conflict with UAC. He explained: "Okay, so I did some digging, and in our environment KB5094126 breaks OneDrive and Dropbox in Explorer. I went through all our GPOs and found out that the combination of disabling UAC and having my user being a local admin breaks OneDrive in Explorer. ... If I enable UAC again, then it works, even with KB5094126 still installed." Hopefully, Microsoft will look into these issues.

    • It is when it's a desktop in my house though for a PC that's lightly used and not really important when it is. If it was a laptop, it would be a different story. The real solution is varied and begins starting at post #22 in that thread.
