The Thomson drive on my X-Box is going out. I don't want to get another X-Box because I have some save files on my HD that I can't transfer, or, atleast I don't know how. These files won't fit on my memory unit, won't save to it, or can't be copied. I quess I have five questions?

How hard is it to replace the disc drive in an X-Box?

How much will it cost?

Is there any other way to transfer memory? Be it system link, to computer and back, etc?

Am I better off getting another X-Box and switching the HDs instead?

Is there anyone that would be interested in fixing and modding it for me?

I am just thinking of getting the thing modded and the drive replaced.
