Thread: how to change game saves location?

hey. i just got the gta sa mod spaceeinstein and it wants me to delete my old game saves. my brother been playing for a long while and dont want to delete his work, dont blame him. is there a way to tell xbox to save the game saves in a different location so that both our game saves will work together? thanks for any help.

Microsoft offers transfer software to do these moves, but if you use their software you have to be logged on any time you play a game so they can verify you are the real owner. This can be a royal pain. Instead, here is how you move the games so they play the way they've always played. You want to do this on ONE MACHINE so the system maintains the ownership of the files.

1) Put your OLD hard drive into your new XBox 360.

2) Log in to your gamer profile.

3) Go to the profile management.

4) Move your profile onto the Memory Unit

5) Use the memory management tool to examine your hard drive

6) Ensure the game file is owned by the profile you are logged in as

7) Use the MOVE option to move the game to your memory unit.

8) Keep moving files until you are done or fill up the MU

9) Turn off system, remove the old hard drive, put in the new hard drive

8) Log in as the profile from the memory unit

9) Move all the game save files off of the memory unit onto your new hard drive.

10) When you are done moving files, move the profile itself onto the new hard drive.

The profile will now be on the new hard drive only, and let you play those games.

Note that they SHOULD give you an option to filter save games you see on the hard drive that match your current profile, so you don't have to go hunting and searching through all the game files to see which ones are there for the current profile. They don't.
