Hey everyone,
Can someone help ease my concerns about upgrading my 360 hard drive? Since the NXE and the ability to install games, I've always installed the game I'm currently playing so I can play without the horrendous noise. Problem is, I'm one of the older 20GB Pro/Premium owners, so I can only realistically fit 1 game on it at a time.
I'm so taken with the lack of noise with the installs that I now don't want to play any of my games without them being installed, but at the same time there's always more than 1 game I want to play at a time. So I've decided to buy another hard drive.
The 120GB ones are still way too expensive over here, but the 60GB 'Starter Packs' seem ok, so I'm going to get one of them. Note that a lot of people report that the 60GB 'Starter Pack' doesn't include a transfer cable (in the UK at least) because it's intended for Arcade owners.
Now for my questions:
1) How do I transfer game saves from the 20GB to the 60GB hard drive? Can I use a standard USB memory stick? And will I be able to keep the saves on both hard drives?
2) Is it easy to get my current XBL tag/profile up and running on the new hard drive?
3) Am I correct in assuming any XBLA titles can be re-downloaded onto my new hard drive?
Number 1 is the most important issue for me, so if anyone has first-hand experience of doing this I would really appreciate your input.
Thanks in advance,

You guys are all round the twist for paying full price for a 60\120GB drive. All you need is a WD Scorpio BEVS SATAII 2.5inch laptop hard drive that costs £30 or $45?
Then look for a guide on flashing the firmware to be compatible with the Xbox 360's 120GB drive. It's very easy loads of people do it and Microsoft don't ban you for doing it. ALL the drives on ebay are these drives so microsoft would never ban you for doing it due to ignorance.
I lol so much when I read the fanboys moaning about the ridiculous price of 120GB drives (which is true).
Further more, if there is nothing illegal about doing this if you use your own 120GB security sector to flash it.
It takes about 20 mins of work, have a look for a guide on google. Both my Xbox 360's have 120GB unofficial drives and combined they only cost me £20 each after selling the old 20GB 2.5inch drives that were originally in the enclosures.
You don't even need a transfer cable. You just need a hard drive adaptor that costs a few quid and you can copy across all your tunes\saves\whatever to the new drive.
