Bambi Posted October 20, 2009 Posted October 20, 2009 I was FTP'ing everything perfectly until about a month ago the transfers started to go slower and slower to the point now that transfering even 2MB mp3's takes 20 minutes. Is it possible to get a Hard Drive enclosure and transfer files onto it through the USB?

Is it possible to get a Hard Drive enclosure and transfer files onto it through the USB?what method do you use for ftp,crossover cable router???it could be to do with your settings. some info.http://forums.xbox-scene.com/lofiversion/i...hp/t375283.html it could be to do with your firewall.
Bambi Posted October 20, 2009 Author Posted October 20, 2009 I use a Crossover cable from the PC to the XBox. It's prolly not a Firewall issue though.I have 3 XBox 1's set up for different things. The other 2 transfer at normal speeds its the one I use as a Media Center that has the speed issue.
fumanchu Posted October 20, 2009 Posted October 20, 2009 is your X,Y and Z in the xbox almost full???because these are temporary drives which xbmc uses and if these get full then it can cause problems.
Bambi Posted October 20, 2009 Author Posted October 20, 2009 It says I have about 4GB free, I'm thinking that the HDD maybe ready to quit from to much use. Would the HDD Enclosure work to transfer?

Would the HDD Enclosure work to transfer?im not sure,wait and see what some other people have to say but if you think your hdd is on the way out and it is softmodded make sure you have a backup of your xbox eeprom if you plan on using that xbox again by installing another hdd.
cba.gy Posted October 20, 2009 Posted October 20, 2009 As Fu says back up essential system files "NOW". Im gonna guess "Heat". With this repetative behaviour its gonna get hotter and hotter untill it dies. It is on its way out. In fact to double check, copy everything to PC. Take to pieces and clean thoroughly, if you feel comfortable enough remove GPU and CPU heatsinks. Clean of bubble gum thats used to dissipate heat, and re-apply some new "proper" stuff. Pop HDD back in and re-assemble. Format the HDD, re-install softmod and try to ftp everything back. If it still persists then its f*****. With Softmod's this preceedure is much more long winded and difficult. Probably best to get new HDD and prepare for softmod, the re-place. Although the internal maintenance wouldn't hurt. Option 3. Sing "Take That" songs to it untill it submitts.
The-Ice-Man Posted October 20, 2009 Posted October 20, 2009 I use a great big crossover cable, and for some reason I've always found that files transfer much quicker if I'm in evox, than if I'm in XBMC. As for putting your xbox hard drive into an enclosure, your problem would be that windows, or linux or whatever won't be able to read or write to the drive as it's in fatx. Unless someone's made a file explorer which recognises it.
Bambi Posted October 20, 2009 Author Posted October 20, 2009 I'll have to copy everything off it to get it ready for a new HDD. It's not softmodded it has a modchip in it so I'm not sure how I'm going to get it back working again. Prolly have to find someone local to work on it.

It contains a modchip, which means you have a much better chance of saving the Xbox. Try getting a new HDD first and see how that works. But before installing it you should really do some internal maintenance on it, like cleaning it out. If those two things do not solve the problem, then check cbagy's post again on replacing the thermal adhesive. You should backup anything important on the old HDD now, just as a safety measure.
- kenshiro - Posted October 20, 2009 Posted October 20, 2009 I suggest to everyone to use UnleashX when you need to FTP a massive amount of files. XBMC is one of the slowest concerning FTP transfers.
fumanchu Posted October 20, 2009 Posted October 20, 2009 well seeing as your xbox is chipped you just made the job ten times easier.back up whichever games/files you want then take a look at this its a xbox hdd compatibility chart.http://xboxdrives.x-pec.com/?p=list once you find a drive that you want just take out the old drive put in the new one,then download slayers auto installer 2.7.slayers is basically a disc image and you burn it to cdr or dvdr then once you coldboot the disc in your xbox.it will give you the choice to format your xbox hdd,just make sure to choose the upgraded option.once thats done you can install a main dash from the disc like evox,unleashx or whatever just so you can set up your xbox to ftp all your stuff back in.its really simple.
Bambi Posted October 22, 2009 Author Posted October 22, 2009 That's what I'll get on this weekend. Transfering off the xbox is slow too. I got the slayers disc downloaded already burned and ready though
fumanchu Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 That's what I'll get on this weekend. Transfering off the xbox is slow too. I got the slayers disc downloaded already burned and ready though one thing you need to know when you have your new hdd in coldboot the slayers disc.in other words turn on your xbox put in the disc and close your drive.then turn on your xbox and let the disc boot that way.
