    My hard drive has stopped working for some reason and is where all my games were stored. It will be very expensive to try to recover it. Can I just buy a new hard drive and still keep ALL my personal data/progress from each game?

    I want to figure out if I should pay to get recovery services or just buy a new one.

    :)

    Hi there TheVirusnation, my name is Gerardo, and I'm an Xbox player, just like you. I'll be happy to assist you with any questions or concerns you may have.

    Don't worry, as long as you've played your games with an internet connection, all the progress and saved game data are stored on the Xbox Cloud. This means that even if you use a different hard drive, when you launch your games, your progress will automatically synchronize, and you won't lose anything.

    For more information on this, please visit the following link:

    I hope this helps and if you have further questions please let me know.

    Kind regards,
    Gerardo.

    I would get a repair because its cheaper and you will get to keep all your game data. if the hard-drive is faulty try buying a hard-drive. if you want to buy a new xbox im not stopping you and you could try using your old hard-drive in the new xbox then
    you will know if the hard-drive or xbox itself is faulty ;)

    buying a new xbox but using old harddrive?

    No. Those older hard drives are not compatible with the new Slim systems. If you buy one with a hard drive you can use the data transfer cable to move all of his information from the 120 to the new hard drive.
