I started transferring the Partition 3 out to my PC hard disk, but the darn thing taking forever. Started the dump around 1 PM and now 8.5 hrs later still going on. I did not clear the cache because i did not think it will really take so long.

Guys, any advice, should I interrupt it or continue to wait?

I gave up waiting, something definitely wrong. After canceled, then start copying the files from the Cache directory a few at a time. Managed to do it in something like half an hour, wasted 8 hours for nothing

After that just a few bumps along the way. After attach back to the xbox, I got a "No storage device" message. Flash the drive again. Still not good. After fiddlying with the enclosure, I realize i had not fitted the cover properly. The hard drive not being detected due to could not attach to the xbox properly. It was very loose. Figured out what went wrong and attach again and voila! Drive detected and total space about 103Gb.

Yes, by myself. I'm quite computer savvy so it is easier for someone like me. Things like getting the computer to recognize the new SATA drive, need to go into setup and change something, different motherboard will be slightly different and getting the computer to boot using the USB pen drive (I dont have a floppy drive). This might be barrier to non-tech person.

Yes, no problem. I live in Puchong near Tesco hypermarket. PM me

Anybody done this before? How do you transfer the media stuff over to the new hard disk. I read this http://digiex.net/guides-reviews/console-g....html#post21373 but it dont seem to mention that.
