Clone HDD

Recommended Posts

I have searched for an answer and I have had no luck finding one so maybe someone here can help me. My Falcon JTAG has a WD 250gb internal hard drive that I want to upgrade to a Toshiba 1tb drive. Now instead of building the drive/partitions and then slowly transferring everything over, is there a way to clone the drive and restore the image on the new drive? I have done it before with on my PC using Acronis True Image, but I am concerned that it may wipe my drive since the XBOX uses a different file system (FATX if i am correct)

Any help would be appreciated.

There was an app that had that feature built in, I think it was called total commander. Not sure if it worked or not though because I never needed it.

I'm sure Party Buffalo Drive Explorer has an option to create an image from a FATX device.

 

Please correct me if I am wrong.

So I tried both programs over the weekend and neither one seem to work. Instead I am trying something different. I decided to copy everything over to my PC via Samba. Tonight I am going to install the new 1tb hard drive and then transfer everything back to the XBOX via Samba. I'll update tomorrow with a better explanation incase anyone wants to do it in the future.

Hi mate,

Just wondering.... How long did it take to copy everything over via Samba? It's taken me about 8hrs to restore 23% using Party buffalo (120GB > 500GB).

I'm thinking of cancelling it and just having one HDD in the xbox, and another connected via SATA>USB and just copying bits across from within freestyle.
