XBox 360 Hard Drive Upgrade

I held off on upgrading the “OS” of my XBox 360 to the new Avatar-centric version that came out in November until after I upgraded its hard drive. My unit still has an original 20Gig HD in it, and in anticipation of downloadable/streaming movie services like Netflix, I decided to go for the larger 120Gig drive. The old disc was almost full of downloaded trailers, games, CD rips and the like, so it was time.

My son and I decided to film the process to give other potential upgraders some insight on what to expect. We also filmed the XBox OS upgrade process as well and will post that soon. ~~I uploaded the videos to the new Silverlight Streaming service~~ I uploaded the videos to YouTube and am linking to them for this particular post ~~instead of uploading to YouTube or SoapBox or the like as an added experiment~~. (Note: Switched to YouTube as the Silverlight Streaming would start downloading them upon entering the page, bogging down viewing the Spaces Blog page). Enjoy the rundown on what’s needed to do the upgrade.
