I'm sure I could ask this question on other messageboards, but I like the Paizo community a little more so I thought I'd ask you guys.
My Xbox has the red ring of death, and I'm wondering if I can just buy a new one and swap hard drives. Does it work like that? I hate to think that all of my info is just lost now, but I'm not really a hardcore (video) gamer so I don't know too much about it, and I'm not really comfortable trying to open up my current Xbox.
Can anybody help? Or at the very least point me to a website that might be helpful?
Thanks!

Hello DZA,
The red ring of death is usually caused by a issue on the board. Your drive most likely is okay. You can transfer data fairly easily between Xbox's. There is a special cable from Microsoft that does the transfer. If you get the xbox up again you can use a USB stick( http://www.gamefront.com/how-to-transfer-old-xbox-360-data-to-a-new-xbox-36 0-slim/) or

You could also have your local computer shop transfer the data for you.
Edit: grrr, the links get spaces put into them.
Depending on the model, you can remove the hard drive and slip it into a new console. however, you need to transfer your Gamer Tag (visit Xbox website for how to do this) to access stuff you've downloaded.
Awesome! That's a relief. Thanks a lot for your help. I'll check out the Microsoft website about transferring the gamer tag.
