Transfering from PC to Xbox

[hviking]

What is the best way to do this transfer? I backed up my 160GB Drive to my PC (Took almost over 3 hours) and now I want to transfer all the stuff back to the Xbox and my new 300GB drive. So far it looks as if it's going to take a minimum of 12 hours. There has got to be a faster way.

Any one know how?

Thanks;

What format have you copied the data to your HD - ISO, or normal copy?
If it's an ISO you have, the best way to do this is to run Avalaunch on your Xbox. Get a hold of Qwix - this runs on your PC. You can then use Qwix to upload the ISO to your Xbox HD. Qwix/Avalaunch run in a 'boost' mode - consistently faster than normal FTP transfer.

How do I copy it as ISO? Can I still do the whole drive (F: ) at one time?

You'd need to create the ISOs using Qwix, then transfer files from your ISO to your Xbox using Qwix - this'll basically mean you'll double the space used on your PC (you'll have all the raw files, and an ISO containing all the files) - not sure if you'll be able to do that or not, depending on how much stuff you have.

And yes, you should be able to do the whole F drive at once (creating an ISO of it that is).

Sounds like it should work like a charm. I will give that a try.
