Transfer Saves to Fat16/32 USB Thumbdrive

[freakk123]

I was thinking of ways to speed up installs with the new scripting system and was wondering if it would be possible to transfered saves to the memory stick without having to format the thumbdrive. Perhaps there would be an XICS setting that checked if the HDD was stock and if yes then it would transfer the saves. Basically, this is what I'm thinking of:

1) Install X3 and X3 Bios (With Stock Hard drive still in)
2) Plug in Thumbdrive, Transfer Saves
3) Plug in New Hard Drive
4) Plug in the Thumbdrive, have XICS kick in and transfer all the save game files back after formatting the hard drive, doing all that awesome stuff that XICS does.

Does this make sense? Is it feasible?

was i stoned when i wrote that?, 10:30 on a tues sounds about right

all you need to do is use the copy command in the script to copy the folder with the gamesaves over to the thunb drive. then execute another script for the format

Hows about being able to ftp files to an ftp server (another xbox or a pc) and also download from an ftp site, so you could copy the whole contents of a drive to an ftp server, and then download it back. or just download the whole c, d and e drives of another xbox to your new xbox.

just a thought.

if you mean to backup your stock hdd before you install a new one, just use an ftpclient on your pc to transfer files back and forth?...

No,

I mean you could have 1 xbox on your network, set up how you want, and the one that you are running the script on just coppies everything from the xbox that is already set up and configured how you want. No pc involved.
