Looks genuine has the correct part number and a genuine MS sticker. The box is not standard fare though, the important thing is the xbox believes it to be true.

From a UK seller on Ebay who had 10 to sell at the time it was not 45 it was 49 pounds my bad. Amazon have a 120gb expansion kit which would include the Migration kit for 88 pounds so not much in it to be honest especially when you take into account all the fiddling around.

after I factor the transfer cable (£12) then I saved £26 so still a bargain.

Actually you wasted £19 because you could have just done the whole thing yourself.

 

1. Buy a Western Digital Scorpio BEVS 2.5inch HD for £30 delivered.

2. Unscrew the Xbox 360 HD and removed the old 20GB drive

3. Plug in the old to your PC and download a program called "Xplorer360"

...Ahhh bugger it, but there's plenty of detailed tutorials you can follow that will have you up and running in 20 mins tops if you follow the steps properly. Sounds like you just got ahead of yourself and didn't follow the procedure correctly. The transfer software is very buggy, but does work if you know what you're doing.
