hi all i read a bit here but my scenario differs a little bit and i wanted to make sure that i had the right idea before doing some thing to regrettably screw up what little data i already have on my JTAG 360 HDD(as well as legit 360 HDD) so this thread is in refferance to the following thread about cloning 1 360 HDD to a 3erd party 360 HDD that is JRAG'd via xplorer 360 and/or the 360 data transfer kit:
http://www.team-xecuter.com/forums/showthread.php?t=55814

i didnt want to thread hijack or revie an answered question/age old thread as well as the fact my situation differs slightly

my situation and question is as follows:

i want to clone the contents of my legit 360 (profile, acheivments DLC ect) to my JTAG 360 HDD both (JTAG MS HDD and LEGIT MS HDD) have profiles on them and such (im asuming this is bad lol) but would i use the same method as the thread linked above (xplorer 360 or FTP not looking to buy any additional hardware as its not really in the budget atm)

does modio support anything like this or any of the other mid tools available that is more efficient?

side note: the profile that currently exists on the JTAG 360 is nothing major just the data in the contents folder can i just copy this to external USB and copy over the contents folder once i have transfered all the data from the legit 360 to the JTAG 360?

will the profiles be able to be accessed on both 360's (my primary goal) as one is offline only any how?

summery of my objective (in case my post seems a bit all over the place):

1 JTAG with licensed 360 hdd + 1 legit unmodified 360 with licensed HDD = moved to one 3erd party HDD for my JTAG and how can i do this or is it possible

I've copied my online profile and saves over to the jtag using the copy function in xexmenu
online Hdd1 to USB (on jtag) then swap the Hdd1 (on jtag) then copy from USB to Hdd1

is this what you mean?

so now I have three same profiles & saves on three hdd's
ya sounds about right let me get this strait here i think i get what ure saying.

1) plug in JTAG HDD
2) copy contents with xex launcher to external
3) plug in legit 360 HDD
4) copy contents with xex launcher (from disc as its my legit machine's HDD) to different directory on USB HDD (to prevent over writing files)
5) install new JTAG hdd and format acordingly
6) merge all contents to new JTAG HDD

that about sum up the process that should work?

It shouldn't overwrite any profile data or saves as they are stored in different DIR's within the content folder
ok so merge them on the external and copy to the new jtag hdd ok kool ill give that a go than totally forgot xex loader could copy files and such for me

either way the original data wont be touched so if it dont work as planned than i havent messed any thing up permanently

P.S.
will i have to run the DLC from the legit 360 threw yaris i think its called? if i understand correctly yaris unlocks it so i can move it to y JTAG and still be able to use the content
