Borrow A Transfer Kit?

[Stephen C]

Just bought a 120gb drive and was wondering if anyone could lend me a transfer kit so I can go from 20gb to 120gb?
Edit - Found one.

You can get them for free from Microsoft then sell it on eBay when you're done. I got £25 for mine!

Does anyone know if the transfer erases stuff on the drive you're transfering to?
Reason I ask, the new drive I bought has 15 or so arcade titles I'd like to keep.

Yeah everything gets erased. Also, I think you can transfer *from* a hard drive only once. Don't quote me on that last bit though

This is the only information I could find on the matter direct from the Microsoft site,

"If you have already saved games or stored content on your Xbox 360 Elite system's 120GB hard drive or the Xbox 360 Special Edition 20GB hard drive, those games and that content will be erased during the content transfer. (All preloaded content will remain when the transfer is complete.) Xbox LIVE® Arcade games and other content purchased on Xbox LIVE can be re-downloaded.

At the end of the transfer, your new hard drive will contain every file that could be transferred from the 20GB hard drive. Preloaded content on your new hard drive, such as game demos and videos, may change during migration. The original preloaded content will be completely erased and replaced with new content during migration."

I might give them a call since it's a freephone number.

MS say the games will stay, let you know when I've transferred if it worked or not.

Just an update to this incase anyone else wondered the same, I can confirm that all pre-loaded data on a new drive will remain intact after data from another drive has been transfered to it.

I did get a "some data was corrupt blah blah" message after the transfer which scared me as I had over 100 saves.. but I couldn't find anything missing / corrupt anywhere and all seems fine.
