oh no. someone help, backup issue

Hey all..

My piece of junk thomson drive just died in the middle of my ninja gaiden game, and i'm on chapter 10 and seriously do not want to go back and do it all again..

i'm already gonna buy a new xbox, and make sure that its a samsung this time..

regardless; can someone please tell me how the hell i can back up these games? i've got a memory card in the controller, but when i browse through the memory it and i click on my ninja gaiden savegames, the only option is delete!

please help ASAP

thanks

 

Don't click on the main Ninja Gaiden icon but one of the icons on the right side of it... these are the save games... but why don't you just buy a new DVD-DRIVE? They sell tons at Ebay.

Or you can buy the laser from here :

They also sell a brand new Samsung drive there :

because a friend of mine had some xbox'es fall off a truck, and i've already got a brand new xbox WITH the samsung drive.. so all i want to do is get my savegames back

anybody PLEASE.. i cannot play this game for another 28 hours just to get back to where i was

 

just highlight the game save to the right of the game icon, the copy to your mem card.
OR
you could ftp over and make a whole backup to your pc

 

how do i back it up onto the memory card? i don't see any COPY option beside it.. all there was that i saw was DELETE.. can someone please elaborate!

you guys have been great so far, thanks.. i feel that im close?

 

ok then,
get to your gamesaves in M$ dash.
then find the game you want, and then look in to it and see there will be 1 or more other icons representing the game, click right across to which gamesave or option file you want, click on it, and then COPY

 

what is ms dash?
the software on the xbox?

 

"ause a friend of mine had some xbox'es fall off a truck,"

HAHAHAHA

 

god damn it.. i just spoke to microsoft on the phone about it.. and he says only like 50% of the games out there will let you copy games to the memory card.. games like TRUE CRIME and such you CANNOT copy to memory card..

There has got to be a workaround for this.. how do I ftp into that machine or whatever.. i've got a working ethernet cable hooked into the back of the xbox and into my internet

 

Game saves are located in e:\tdata and e:\udata on the hard drive.

You might want to try this proggy, it came recommended by a friend who uses it.

cheers!

 

look around other threads and tutorials to FTP into your xbox

 

Swap your Harddrives! Clean and easy

 

Just wanted to know something. Do you have a mod chip in your xbox or not?

 

no mod chip..

and replacing the harddrive has got to be the stupidest thing i've ever heard for a brand new xbox.. why the hell would i void the warranty? thanks, jerk

 

then you won't be able to ftp to your xbox then with out any type of mod in your box and won't be able to get any data from your x-box.

 

lol, here we go...another "oh i dont want to void my warrenty!"

 

G4MERZOID your exactly right I bought My xbox for £4 a month over 48 months over 2 years back now n they couldn't believe in the shop when I wouldn't get an extended warranty ....lol I wouldn't of thanked em for an extra warranty

 

lol! yeah

 

something dont make sence, It fell of the back of a wagon but he dont want to void warranty.lol
something wrong somewhere.
