new xbox, old hard drive?

[casper7]

i have a 120g hard drive from an old xbox that i shorted out doing a portable. is there a way to hook up that hard drive to a slim xbox? they will both be taken apart as i plan on retrying my portable but with a slim xbox. just if i can save money and just get the 4g xbox that would awsome.

Use the Transfer Cable?

not sure about the new xbox but on the old, when you use the transfer cable, you can not save to that hard drive, only transfer to and from. was gonna do that on my home xbox so i had more memory but it wont let me.

If you open up the old-style hard drive case, the hard drive inside can be put directly into the new XBox. However, it will be 'floating,' only held in place by the power/data connections. You can get empty hard drive enclosures for the XBox Slim - I think dealextreme carries them.

Hope that helps!
