Want to get 60GB Hard Drive - How to transfer data of old hard drive?

With Assassins Creed 2 coming out I need a new hard drive for my 360. It will be a tight squeeze to install that with MW2 already on there. If they do fit on, it wont leave any space for anything else like demos.

My only issue is, where do I get a data transfer cable from?

I have a 20GB console which Ill be putting the 60GB Hard Drive on to but I don't think the 60GB kit (60 GB LIVE Starter Kit - Includes 60 GB Hard Drive, Xbox LIVE Gold 3-Month Membership, Headset, Network Cable (Xbox 360): Amazon.co.uk: PC & Video Games) comes with a transfer cable does it?

i dont think the starter kit comes with the cable, you can get it from microsoft, however it would be just as easy if you can get hold of a memory card and transfer your saves that way and you can dowload all your content again from xbox live, and you can just reinstal mw2 to the new drive.

The starter kit does not come with a cable.

You can put your name down on the bike kit thread on here though?
