How to Transfer Hard Drive Information on an XBox 360

The Xbox 360 comes with very little internal memory (only 256 MB after the initial Xbox Live update). The Xbox 360 hard drive and other Xbox 360-related storage devices can expand the storage capacity of the 360. You can transfer information between the internal memory, the official Xbox 360 hard drive, memory cards and USB flash drives. Game data, music, movies and any other Xbox 360-compatible content can be transferred from either storage device.

Instructions

  Turn off the Xbox. If applicable, connect the Xbox 360 hard drive and any other storage devices to the Xbox. The hard drive has its own dedicated hard drive bay on the left side of the Xbox, while memory cards and USB flash drives go in their respective ports on the front of the Xbox.
