Just received a new xbox hard drive to replace my slowly failing smaller one. Does anyone have a transfer kit that they would be willing to sell/rent me?

Thanks

You can get one for free from Microsoft if you dig through the xbox website.

I couldn't get off the xbox site as the form to fill in was only for people that had bought a new Elite model, and you had to enter the code from console itself.

Tis a joke, as I had to buy a 60GB premium console after my launch one got RROD out of warranty.

USually someone has one and is happy to send on smile

Yes I looked at that too and found it was elite only. My old one is ready to give up the ghost, the xbox keeps freezing but only with games that are accessing the hard drive.

Found the cable and the instructions but not the CD - I'm sure that you should be able to find a downloadable version of that though.

Great! Does it run from the xbox or do I need to plug it in to the computer?
Thanks

Runs from the Xbox - USB lead to new HDD (Special converter on end of lead). Put the (mising!) CD into the drive and let it run.

Doesn't seem to be any separate discs on ebay so I'll just have to buy a kit anyway, unless anyone on here as a spare disc they can loan me.
Cant download one either because my console isn't modded

Thanks for the offer though mate much appreciated, if you've already sent it I'll send you some beer tokens + postage money via paypal
