Why are you so against FTP?

If you want to transfer the files over to a new HDD, then your best bet is to FTP them to your PC then copy them back.

It doesn't get any easier!

FTP is not that hard, take a look some of the point clicks like FlashFXP. You highlight all of the drives, C, E, and F. Right click and select transfer. Then go eat. Come back when it it done, swap out the drives. Format the new one with X3, and FTP the files back. Done.

It is BECAUSE you have no cash, are a noob, and don't understand anything, FTP is the easiest way to go.

1. From the X3 BIOS - UNLOCK the existing HDD.
2. Network the XBox - either through a hub/router or direct to a PC via a crossover cable (this is NOT difficult).
3. Run FlashFXP, and connect to Xbox.
4. From within FlashFXP, drag each Xbox folder over to a folder on PC.
5. Powerdown the Xbox.
6. Remove old drive.
7. Install new drive.
8. Powerup Xbox into X3CL (note - you didn't have to reinstall the BIOS at all - all that stuf lives "in memory" on the chip).
9. Use X3CL hard drive managment to partition and format your drive.
10. Run FlashFXP, and connect to Xbox.
11. From within FlashFXP, go to the Xbox backup folder you created. Go into each of the folders (C, E, X, Y, Z, etc) and drag the contents of each folder over to the corresponding folder on the Xbox side of the connection.

You now have a new hard drive installed with all the data from your old Xbox over on the new one.

Is this time consuming? Yes - but it depends on how much stuff you have on your old HDD, and the speed of your connection to your PC. But it is pretty safe, and easy to do.

Just make sure you have room on your PC to save all of your Xbox. ie, if you have a full 120 GB HD on Xbox, you are gonna need more than that much space free on your PC.

Also if you have live, make sure to get a new unbanned EEPROM when you swap the HDs or you will get banned via "marriage theory"

Oh and BTW, leaving a comment of "didn't help me" ? A little pointless, since I'm a Moderator!

By your own admission you "dont understand anything". I suggest you don't complain when someone tries to help you in future.
