Thread basically.
I have a regular 120gb hdd installed on a slim case working on my rgh'd x360 e and I want to upgrade it with a bigger one.
I read this in ixtreme forums:
Install new internal hard drive
Boot to MS dash (hold down RB while booting or after pressing home button)
Navigate to storage
Format
Your partitions are now there
Avatar support
Check in MS dash the dash version you have dont mess this up!!!!
Download the correct system update
Copy the $systemupdate folder onto usb stick
Rename the folder to $$ystemupdate
Unsert the usb stick
Quick update will happen returning support

Now all you have to do is transfer all the content off the old drive onto the new drive let me know if your struggling with that.
I guess that is correct as is a reputable source but the transfer part is what is worrying me.
Can I connect the old hdd to my pc, do a backup with xplorer360 and then restore it to the new drive or the only option is to ftp/usb all the content back?? :wacko:

Thanks :)

As long as you do not try restoring things at partition level then xplorer360 should do it, personally I would have gone with FTP though as it is easier from where I sit (assuming you have space on the hard drive to hold what you need to hold). That guide there is accurate as far as I can see, personally I would not have bothered with avatar support but that will also give you that back.

The only thing that might be missing is the original xbox compatibility partition (or a hacked version of it) if you want that support. They might do it automatically now though. If not find the hacked version of the original xbox emulator and follow the install instructions for it.

FTP is good but slow(using wifi n, direct cable should go faster but not that much. 10/100 ethernet port), I transfer small games(small being less than 2gb) that way and anything else through a external usb drive. but transfer 100gb of data is a little too much and faster/safer to do on a pc though usb 3.0.

oohh and the xbox originals compatibility is no problem, I myself added the partition and necessary files on my current hdd. I like to do my homework and ask just the necessary.

thanks for the help :yaysp:

    Interesting lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think I watched a video where two games at 4K where eating just over 16GB of RAM and it's the one case where the 7900XT and XTX pulled ahead (minus RTX of course)
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    So my opinion is that they could age a bit better in the future, and maybe AMD will continue improving them via drivers like they tend to do. No guarantee there but they have done it in the past. Just a feeling I have.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    cyberpunk at 4k without DLSS/fidelityfx *might* exceed 12gb
    +1
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that game barely runs at native 4k
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think it was some newer games and probably poorly optimized PS4 or PS5 ports
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    they definitely will age better but i feel dlss might outweigh that since it looks about as good as native resolution and much less demanding
    +1
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    When I played Cyberpunk on my old 2080 Ti it sucked lol
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    AMD could introduce something comparable to DLSS but nvidia's got a lot more experience with that
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    least amd 7xxx has tensor cores which the previous generations didn't so there is the potential for AI upscaling
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They have FSR or whatever it's called and yeah it's still not great
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so AMD seem to finally be starting to take AI seriously
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Oh yeah those new 8000 CPUs have AI cores built in that's interesting
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Maybe they plan on offloading to the CPU?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Would be kinda cool to have the CPU and GPU working in random more
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Tandem even
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i think i heard of that, it's a good idea, shouldn't need a dedicated GPU just to run a LLM or video upscaling
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the nvidia shield tv has AI video upscaling
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    LLMs can be run on cpu anyway but it's quite slow
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    Have you ever been beaten by a wet spaghetti noodle by your girlfriend because she has a twin sister, and you got confused and fucked her dad?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I had a girlfriend who had a twin sister and they would mess with me constantly.... Until one chipped a tooth then finally I could tell them apart.... Lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They would have the same hair style the same clothes everything... Really messed with my head lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    @The Real Jdbye, I could see AMD trying to pull off the CPU GPU tandem thing, would be a way to maybe close the gap a bit with Nvidia. Plus it would kinda put Nvidia at a future disadvantage since Nvidia can't make X86/64 CPUs? Intel and AMD licensing issues... I wonder how much that has held back innovation.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i don't think nvidia wants to get in the x64 cpu market anyways
