sorry... to clarify, it will reformat your EXTERNAL device for use on the xbox, not your old xbox itself. Depending on what you need to move over, (most likely game saves and xbox profiles) you won't need a very large device, a 4gb USB thumb drive will suffice. I'm just saying if you have an external hard drive or a thumb drive, and you use that to transfer your stuff, that drive is going to be wiped first by the xbox, so make sure there isn't important stuff you were storing on it before you begin.
Honestly, if you've downloaded a ton of stuff, i would do the licence tranfer, then go to your download history on xbox.com, put all that stuff in your download cue and just let it re-download that stuff overnight. transferring large files to usb, then onto your new xbox is going to take forever with a usb drive if it's a lot of stuff.
The thing is, your xbox content can only exist in one place at a time, if that's what you're asking, either on one hard drive, or on a usb drive.
