hmm so far all the saved game working as charmed....
for the cache matters.. actually u can create a cache folder in your pc and then drag one by one into ur backup folders. This step will be faster else you gotta wait few hours.

Lol... NO separate HDD warranty? Who fking told u so, benghee? Same like u go buy handphone, when u send for warranty, they ask for ur battery? Even i work at a shop, selling electronic dictionary, we request them to keep the battery and their memory card which BUNDLED together. And this self-modded shit is for the community. Hell yea, it broke watever shit microsuck agreement, but any pirating shit? Can u read lowyat.net xbox rules? Tat is void ur on warranty, on ur own sick. And we din do anything illegal by LAW. If u mod this hdd in front of microsoft HQ at redmond, CA, what can they do? They just say dude, u just void ur warranty. And that's all. Sorry for harsh language, becos ppl show this up to help the community, not like pirating. Everyone benefit from it, well except microsoft, where it suck ur money with rm600 for a 120gb hdd.

i tried my forza save game , looks OK so far.

i have yet to test all games but now im not going to copy out and copy in again, kind of risky.


ive got it working and thats about what i care most. 58GB remaining and its a very happy moment in my gaming career to save myself from MS, again and again and again..

Sorry, ben3003, for offending your brother's thread here. There is really no separate part warranty in xbox system, just only one product warranty comes with your retail box. Well, i dunno others electronic like phone or dictionary coz different company has different warranty on their own stuff and we discuss xbox here, dun out of topic, please. And you seems angry on giant company sucking your blood money and turn out you do some modding just to not "agree" with their pricing strategies. I do appreciate your brother guide here and i just want to know more about the warranty agreement, not banning anyone and discourage anyone to follow this guideline. Just fyi, RM600 for a 120gb HDD also including the seller import duty, all operating cost (if u ever studied economy in class) and currency rate.

I have another out-of-topic personal question to ask u, isnt selling electronic dictionary a sunset business? coz nowadays almost everyone use any online device can google more accurate definition words over internet...and its free.

we have a PM system for this u know ?

hmmm.. I just you guys need to stop.. else this thread become war ground... and it's going no where...

me and mmxzero just wanna help out communitee here..


What I can say now... At your own risk & who r not interested please respect the people who really wanna upgrade their HDD.

Thanks a lot...

Well said. Please continue with the good work MMX
Those that are concerned with the warranty issue can just
stick to their 20G hdd. There is no need to make a big fuss
over it. The choice is urs

guys,

just a question, my 20gb hdd is having problem where i have 10gb missing from the 20gb hdd itself. I deleted all of my demos (except my gamer profile and save games) and the 10gb still missing

now, I’m planning to use the xplorer360 to backup my save games and my profile then format my 20gb hdd again from my 360 and restore back all my save game n profile from pc to my 20gb hdd with xplorer360.

will this work? I’m planning to do it tonight before I jump to 120gb bandwagon 

@benghee,

Just for your information, void your hdd doesn't mean it will void your console, ur console is still valid as long as the MS warranty sticker is still intact and no modding on the console.

again, it will only void your hdd warranty if you did something to the hdd. i know what I’m talking, because I RMA-ed my console twice

we do appreciate your copy-n-paste contribution but we need constructive comment here, not rubbish.

I think ur cache taking alot + game update?... maybe you try to clear ur cache or how

i guess not, previously i got a sudden blackout in my house area while i playing my xbox. after i turn it on back, most of my demos are unplayable. guess the hdd data got messed up or something wrong with the system.

i will try that for sure before attempt anything. thanks for your feedback!!

Wait let me see if the calculation is correct. Like for a 120gb if format, you would only get 106gb. So for a 20 gb, you would at least get 17.66... gb or 13.33gb? I can't remember the value for a formatted 20gb. It seem like MS took a few gb of space after formatting for their own cache.

What I suggest is 1st clear the cache and then copy out all your save data. Then format it and then see its the same value I calculated or not. If I remember clearly, after format, it should be around the value that I calculated.

same case here
me also kena last week
during online play
suddently..blackout..
dammit...not almost but all my demo cant play
i just clean my cache and lost 10G

Sounds like bad sectors.

when the 20G HDD is ship, i remember there will only be around 13G available.....so bro jaylike, your HDD only remaining about 3G? or still have about 10G?

i've only got 2.7g at the moment

@Bro Leenaz,

so even you clear the cache your 10gb still lost?


@Bro Canavaro,

i think so but i deny the fact

for me if i deleted all my file and i still missing about 8gb.

hmmm maybe u guys try to backup all ur saved games and then format...

how to backup...
ive read some where..
ms indeed take some space on HDD for cache file...
but tell..not 10G..

using the xplorer360 drag out the partition 3 and then plug in back xbox360 to format

Mine HDD is like 13.8gb free after i clear out videos and demo games. Should be 14gb after the reservation by the console itself.
