It's essentially the same with Aurora.
You sure you didn't delete or edit on top of the internal hdd path?
Is your external being recognized in the system settings/ storage devices?
100% didn't delete the paths...i added my external drive as the last path...when I can i'll send a pic of what the paths look like
One thing I noticed is that my games copied over to the external drive, and I was able to log-into my xbox profile - but game saves are gone. Are they on a diff location on the original hard drive??
Depends on how you copied your games to the external HDD.
I'd say use 360 content manager to check if your saves are still on the 360 (it's a PC sided app that connects to your 360 via the web)
They should still be on their original location in the content folder of your internal HDD unless you've moved said directory.

i'll have to scan the original xbox hard drive.
When I look at the back-up I made it only has Games - Game Name, and inside that folder there is a $SystemUpdate folder and several files.

i don't have the original RGH xbox hard drive connected. I'll have to connect it to my pc and use party buffalo to check what is there.
sounds like i just need to find the content folder then copy it over to my "new" external drive
no, don't do that. just put the games in a separate folder, and scan them. it should be very easy to do. you can create a content folder on the external hdd, and it should work correctly, but you don't have to.
Are you talking about the internal or external hdd? If it's the former, you can't access it that easily, you'd need Xplorer360 in order to see what's in hdd. Though i still can't see how that could help you.
Though i would highly recommend using either Content Manager or 360neighborhood while connecting through ftp..
Trying to load up my original rgh hard drive with party buffalo. PB sees the drive, and I click load, and then PB just freezes and shows not responding with the spinning blue circle.
Should I wait it out? I've been letting 'er run for 10 minutes....

Just put the files on a usb and copy it to the internal hdd with XexMenu. You can ftp it directly to the internal hdd if you have X360Neighborhood (content Manager 3.0 might work too?) from the Xbox dash. Then go to Dashlaunch to make the auto boot to Aurora if you want to..
Will it retain my game paths or should I back those up (take a pic of them or writ ethem down) before I copy over the new files?
right, but I don't remember what they are for me to reset 
- that's why I was asking if it would or if i should write them down so i can reset them after the fresh install

@The Real Jdbye, I thought about that and I have blank DVD's and Blurays but honestly after like 90 songs I just listen to it a couple of hundred times toss it out and burn something else or have like 2-3 CD's. Florida here the heat in the car tends to ruin the CD's after like a few months even commercial pressed ones don't last too long.
