How to Upgrade a 20Gb to a 60Gb Driver Hard Drive on XBox 360 Pro

The Xbox 360 Pro originally was manufactured with a 20GB hard drive. The Xbox 360 hard drive can easily be removed and inserted into the console, making upgrading to a larger 60GB hard drive a practical option. The contents of the original 20GB hard drive need to be transferred to the 60GB hard drive using an Xbox 360 hard drive transfer kit before the upgrade is made. This allows the user to move to the new hard drive while keeping all of his settings, media files, saved games and downloadable content.
