Grouchy Bear Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 My son bought the newest "need for speed" game but we had trouble with the game constantly freezing or the message kept saying dirty disk or damaged. The disk was spotless and no scratches. So we returned it and received another with the same problem. WE called xbox and they said it was our hard drive. Which is fine since it is under warranty, but if we send our hard drive in we lose all data saved. Is there some way to retreive this data and place it in another storage unit, and then when the new drive arrives put this data back in the new hard dive ?

BearFan2000 Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 Haven't been on here in a while. While I know very little about the Xbox 360 having only owned mine a short while. I know that with the old Xbox that the dirty disk error on a new game disk could be a sign that the DVD drive might have lense alignment issues. Seems odd that it would be a hard drive issue. But, as for a way to transfer the information I thought I read something about networking the Xbox 360 to your PC you can access the hard drive. I wouldn't know if it works, I have a Mac and haven't tried mounting the Xbox360 hard drive. But if you can connect to it on the PC there might be a way to grab your info and back it up before sending off the drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
