Hi

My son accidentally deleted all the data, can I download it all again for free, if so - how please!! It doesn't recognise that I have already paid for some games and gives the download price to pay again?

Many thanks for your help

:)

data recovery from xbox flash drive

We accidentally deleted saved game data from an xbox flash drive. This was data from disc games, and was not stored in the cloud, or on the hard drive or console. We were signed into xbox live with a gamer tag while playing the games, but they were offline
games. This saved game data is really important. How do we recover the data from the flash drive? Is there any way to restore the gamer tag to the status before the incident, and get the data back that way? Also, when the xbox flash drive is plugged in
to the console, it shows up as "memory unit" in the list of storage devices, not as a "usb flash drive", although it looks exactly like a flash drive (black with "xbox" on it).

Moving data from USB to PC and back

Hello

Firstly i want to apologise for my bad English. That's not my first language and I'm trying my best.

So let me get to the problem.I've propably done a really stupid thing. I had to use a usb memory to transfer some data from PC to PC but only available one was the one i used as a storage of my game files in my console. I pluged usb memory to PC, copied
all data from USB to my PC's HDD and deleted data from USB. When my USB memory was ready to be storage of my Xbox data again I found out that files I copied as backup wasn't working on my console. After I put files back on the pendrive Xbox doesn't recognize
my profile and save data. It sees Pendrive as a unrecognized storage device and asks me if I want it to be formated.I figured that what I first thought as a well made backup was in fact a terrible mistake.

Is there a way to make my profile and save data useful again from files I copied to my HDD? Please help.

As long as you're using the original account that purchased the games, you can redownload anything you purchase for free.

If it's the 360 you would redownload them from your download history

If it's the One, you would redownload them in your games and apps section under ready to install.

Hi there, I would suggest moving the save data to a USB before doing anything.

Once you've got that data then delete the game from the HDD and re-download from your download history and see if you can then reload the save from the USB.

Yes, I've tried that.

I also tried backing up all my data, formatting the USB HDD, deleting all non-system files on the internal memory, clearing cache, and downloading the game again. No change.

So can downloadable xbox live games and game data be stored on the USB memory? I have a 4GB xbox 360 that we just got for the holidays and, obviously, the 4GB size is next to nothing when I want to download games from xbox live.

Thanks in advance.

The Xbox 360 Slim does not have a memory card slot, only HDD and USB. If you have access to another Original Xbox 360, you should be able to save the data from your memory cards to a USB, and then transfer said data from those USB drives, to your Xbox 360
Slim.

Best of luck!
