Steven3797 Posted November 27, 2019 Report Share Posted November 27, 2019 Hi, Basically I want to transfer files from my Xbox hdd and make a backup onto my PC. my Xbox has a sata drive installed via IDE to Sata adapter. If I was to just take out the Sata drive and hook it up directly to my PCs motherboard via Sata cable could I put the contents of my hdd onto my PC? Using xplorer or is that not a quicker way to add/remove games? Most people say ftp for everything I’m relatively new to modding any advice is useful thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven3797 Posted November 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2019 Okay so it wouldn’t work and wouldn’t be able to read the drive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven3797 Posted November 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2019 Just asking as I swore I seen a video using it for original Xbox however I must be mistaken. I’ve owned a RGH 360 in the past so maybe I got confused idk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SILEeeles Posted November 28, 2019 Report Share Posted November 28, 2019 You can buy adaptors that connect to the controller port and have a USB plug the other end, but as of yet, I dont know what formats it will read (for example, if FAT32 is compatible etc). I suspect it depends on the dashboard you use. What are you trying to do though? Make a back up? Copy games over to be loaded via SMB instead? If you want a 1:1 backup, clone the drive using Chimp. then if anything happens you just need to swap the old drive for the backed up one, although there are several steps before that, zero-ing your hard drive key and making sure the other drive can be locked/unlocked etc. For SMB, the most effective method of copying things across is FTP. I use Filezilla for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
