[quote name='YoungE808']Good to know, so I presume I can just ferry over the data a few times with an 8gig USB and everything will be fine?[/QUOTE]I only had 1 problem with my data when I bought a hard drive a couple months ago from GS when they were like $25 for a 120 Gb one. That was the Xbox Original gamesaves that I had.
I was able to transfer all my 360 stuff with no problem. Gamesaves, themes, pics, etc. I don't think that installed games will transfer over, but you can always reinstall them if necessary.
But for some reason even using the transfer option on the 360, the console would not even show the 3-4 Xbox original games that I had saves for to be able to transfer them to the USB drive. I tried calling M$ just to see if I could talk them into sending me a free cable, but that didn't happen. So I wound up buying a transfer cable just to be able to move my Fable, Morrowind, and Halo game saves over. But after plugging in the transfer cable, they all transferred over properly.
So if the only stuff you have on your console is 360 data, then you should have no problem just using a USB stick for moving all your data between drives.
