Transfer Kit Issues!

[tonybologna]

Hey guys! I've had an xbox 360 console for over 2 months but never have used any roster files to transfer to MC. I have the transfer kit but can't get it to work. I have read the sticky here in this section on how to use the transfer kit.

I installed the 360XChange software first. Then I manually added the folder needed to recognize my roster files. When I go to the XChange window I do have all three options(To Mem,Delete,Edit) available from "Hard Drive" tab. None are blanked out so therefore all seem to be working right.

However, when I click(highlight) the roster file needed & then click on "To Mem" I'm getting the error "Memory Card Error, Please remove & re-insert the memory card". I've tried removing & re-inserting the MC on several attempts but same error reports every time.

What I can't understand is that I'm only getting one device listed under "USBIO Controlled Device" & under that the
"X360 MU USBIO- Device 1". I read that both the docking station & MC unit must be in device manager separately. I do have a device listed as "Memory Unit" under "Portable Devices" from device manager. This isn't listed under "USBIO Controlled Device" though.

BTW, I'm running Windows Vista & not XP. I've tried to remove & re-install the software several times as well. It's like the PC is saying the MC is corrupt or something. I did buy the MC from eBay & have never used this particular MC unit. It's a 64MB unit only. I do have an HDD that I plan on transferring the MC save over to from the 360.

I know when I first inserted the MC into the docking station I was prompted to install drivers. I don't have a cd for MC drivers & had to bypass that part. Do I need to download drivers from the web for the MC? I'm just lost as what to try now. I know I'm probably doing something wrong but can't seem to get it figured out. Help me on this guys! Thanks!

I'm was having the same problem but I just gave up. Thankfully 2k games has 2kshare. But I did want a edited roster file of madden. I was using mines on a regular pc and it locked up on me with me getting da same message. Man I miss my transfer kit. Anybody found a solution yet

I followed the sticky page on the transfer kit page like I should. I think it may be buggy with Vista OS. The tutorial page on this is with Windows XP so I don't know.

I don't get a message about installing software when just plugging the USB docking station into the PC. However, when I have the memory card in the docking station & then plug into USB on PC then I do get software messages.

Having said that, I get 2 added devices in "device manager" when plugging into USB connection but in 2 different places. I get no device showing up when just plugging the docking station up to PC. It's like the docking station alone isn't being noticed so adding the memory card brings both to being noticed by Windows.

I'm kind of wishing I'd just got either XSATA or XPORT now. I do have an HDD(only 20GB though) & with the new dashboard it would be more beneficial to have a bigger HDD since you can now install games to HDD & decrease loading times of games. I mainly got the 20GB one for just game saves/rosters anyhow.

I purchased the MC just as an added extra in case of taking to family & friends for playing. It just seems the transfer kit is buggy with Vista but I'm not sure about that really. I just can't get both the docking station & memory card being recognized under "USBIO Controlled Devices". The MC shows up under "Portable Device" & the docking station under "USBIO Controlled Device". While both can't be recognized unless the memory card is plugged into the docking station. Geez! Thanks!

I've now read that once you install the drivers that came with the transfer kit software you're in a lot of trouble. That's what dummy me did even though I had already downloaded Xplorer360 software to use later. I can't get it to work now & I feel like taking my near $20 transfer kit & throw it out the window.

Why does something like this have to be so hard to get figured out? I mean it's like a darn puzzle trying to figure out what to do & try next. I would just get the XSATA but I've done spent $20 already for a kit that I was going to use quite a bit for MC transfers first. This is frustrating & why make such a piece of work that's so hard to get it to work on a dang PC? They(Datel) sure ain't gonna tell you to NOT install the drivers. Thanks Datel for your awesome piece of machinery. Geez!

Yeah! What's so weird is that I did inject the file with Xplorer360 onto a MC. I then took the MC to the console & loaded up NBA 2K9. The roster started auto-loading but then locks up every time.

Does the Xploer360 software work right with the transfer kit files? I mean it showed up on the MC but does freeze during loading process. I think it's a combo of Vista & buggy software. I'll try the XPort software you posted. Thanks!

I can't get it to work with XPort software either. The same thing happens as with Datel XChange software. MY MEMORY CARD ISN'T RECOGNIZED AGAIN. I think with the initial install of the drivers with the XChange software has really screwed up everything.

The darn driver installation has really caused me big problems. It's like pulling teeth or something. I downloaded the 360 MU drivers from another site & tried those but no luck. The thing that gets me is the docking station doesn't show up ALONE in Vista but when I plug my MC into it then both show up in device manager.

I'm at a lost as what to try next with the transfer kit issues. I certainly don't wanna go back to a restore to remove all the bad that the XChange drivers may have cuased. Any ideas as what I might need to do next? This is crazy with Vista. If I'd known this then I'd not purchased the transfer kit. Geez! Thanks!

did you try reformatting your Memory card, in the Dashboard??

Not sure why your having problems, but I have the Datel Xchange software and the Xport Software and the other one I forget what it is, all installed on my XP PC and they all work...

Are you loading the roster straight from your MC when you start NBA 2k9?? If so maybe you should just insert the card while still in the dashboard and just copy the file to your 360 HD.. Thats what I usually do...
