Posted: Thu Jun 26, 2008 12:14 pm
This tutorial is for transferring and/or backing up data on your xbox 360's HD. Several uses can be backing up your profiles or gamesaves on your computer, or even transferring friends profiles to your hard drive.
Before you begin you will need to be able to connect your hard drive to your computer. Various methods include XSATA's, minispy, the Microsoft cord, and just taking apart the plastic casing and plugging it up using a sata cable and power cord. You can refer to my tutorial on located here to take your HD casing apart.

Steps:
1. Once you have your hard drive connected to your computer (you may have to restart it) you can use a free program known as Xplorer360 to open the HD's contents.
2. Just go to Drive > Open > Harddrive or Memcard... to open the contents of your hard drive.
3. Next just open Partition 3 by double clicking it, then opening the Content folder.
4. Just drag and drop your profile folder into the content folder and Xplorer360 should inject the folder.
5. Finally exit Xplorer360 and plug the hard drive back up to your 360.
You can also use Xplorer's backup utility by going to Drive > Backup Image.. and it will backup all information on the hard drive as an image. If anything is ever deleted or corrupt, you can just open the hard drive back up in Xplorer360 and restore the image. The process usually takes anywhere around 15 minutes but can vary depending on different circumstances.
