How to Upgrade an Xbox 20Gb Hard Drive

If you've found yourself unable to save an Xbox 360 game because you ran out of space, you may wonder how to upgrade your 20 GB hard drive without losing any of your information. There is a way to make this happen--by using the Xbox 360 Hard Drive Transfer Kit. According to Microsoft, any hard drive data can be transferred to another hard drive that is at least the same size as the old one. Because the 20 GB hard drive is the smallest there is, you can upgrade it to any size you want.
