Got Games Recovered From Bad Hard Drive Cannot Figure Out How to Get XBOX to Read Recovered...

Hi there,

Yes, they are saved on Cloud storage also. You are prompted to choose the location of saved data, whenever you launch a 360 game on X1, and that's the only option I've ever seen.

Best,

Thanks for the tip. However, I do have some games that are Xbox360 or original Xbox backwards compatible, which likely use saved data. Would the data for these be stored on the cloud, or could I recover the data if they aren't?

Hi Brian,

Thanks for coming to the forums. If the games are digitally purchased, it will not be much of an issue to re-download them. When the company recovered them they are probably written for PC to read. The Xbox will not be able to read these and need to be reinstalled.
As all your save data is saved to the cloud, when you reinstall and launch the game it will retrieve your save data from the cloud.

Thanks,

Brad

Hi, you're wasting your time trying to do this. Format and download/install the games is the only way to go.

Sorry, please format the hard disk directly

The file format restored by the hard disk manufacturer does not apply to the xboxone

Please download the game again
