Best Answer

because you need a new Xbox 360 slim Hard drive

what he is trying to say is that the old xbox hdd is not compatible with the slim itself because the new 360 slim hdd and the old fat 360 hdd has different coding and therefore wont work as a primary hard drive for the 360 slim.

actually' i think you are talking about connecting it using via transfer cable. i have this problem as well so i cant answer this question properly but i can give you help to answering this question.

this is for everyone who is having the same problem trying to transfer data.

a few problems could be; the new xbox 360 dashboard update (Kinect update) for all xbox 360's could be a problem, the transfer cable is not MS genuine and therefore not recognized, the old HDD has not experienced the Kinect update and my last would be that it is not connected properly (doubt that is the case).

Because you have to be running Xport360 as an administrator then it will show your HDD. Right click on xport360 and click run as administrator.
