Anyone done a 20GB --> 120GB HDD transfer post-NXE?

Probably a little early to start panicking but I initiated the above about 90 minutes or so ago, followed the instructions to a tee. Initially it stated on-screen the transfer should take about 43 minutes, after 20 it stated "the transfer was complete.. some files were corrupt so won't be copied ... please remove disk and console will shut down."

When I removed the disk the console didn't shut down so turned off manually, removed the transfer cable and original 20GB HDD, inserted the 120GB one and re-started.

Immediately I got an Update dialog box so selected Yes (assumed this was to do with the new drive) but it's been updating for the last hour+ & progress bar shows about 40% done although time remaining keeps jumping all over the place from 20 minutes right up to 100+

Reading the posts on another thread everyone who upgraded didn't mention further updates required after copying across the data and re-starting with new drive but I think all of those were done pre-NXE. Anyone done it after the NXE? If so did you have a similar step?

Please put my mind at rest...

Sorry I can't put your mind to rest I don't know anything about this but I intend on doing the 20GB to 120GB transfer.

Ok, cheers mate, a little more hopeful as the progress bar has moved to about 95% and time remaining gone down to less than 5 minutes.

NXE = New Xbox Experience, the updated dashboard interface we got last week?

I updated post NXE. When I swapped the HDD I had to download the update again. The update took about 2 minutes for me and everything was OK.
Did it work OK for you in the end?

Yes, cheers mate, it did in the end, although took more than an hour for whatever the update was to complete.

All good now though; copied a couple of games to the HDD and d/loaded RB songs as well adding new MS Points so looking good
