    Moved Downloaded Game To USB, Files Are Now Lost


    Earlier i had moved my Rockband 3 (i had downloaded it from the marketplace about a year ago) along with the downloaded Rockband store songs and the rest of the save files onto my 32 gig USB.This USB also has my GTA V files (all of which are completely in
    tact, and i had even moved my new GTA Online files earlier with the Rockband ones and they are working perfectly fine?) I've been able to go back and forth between me and my brother's Xbox 360 with this USB key before this is the first time its acting up.

    Once i finished moving all my Rockband 3 data onto it, i went and plugged it into my brother's Xbox and logged into my profile, went and looked for the game and it wasn't there. I went into the System Settings to Storage, and the USB showed up with all of my
    GTA files, but no Rockband to be found. I later went back to my Xbox, plugged in the USB to go see if everything would show up on my console, but nope. The files weren't even on my hard drive anymore. I thought maybe since i left my console+profile on, when
    i signed in on another device maybe that did something? It auto-signed my out of Xbox Live when i signed in on another console though.

    I had bought the game on the marketplace so i don't even have the disc to play, i have lost all my game data and quite a few downloaded songs. Is there any way i can recover or even find all my Rockband 3 data somehow? What even happened? Why did my GTA Online
    stay intact but all of my Rockband is lost? No error messages came up during the moving, i had even turned off the console before removing the USB.

    :)

    switching my 250g HDD s360 to another s360 ? ?

    Save game files on a HDD are not deleted when Copied to a USB MU. They are only deleted when Moved.



    Some save game files cannot be copied, only moved (Splinter Cell Conviction is one such game). Some are also bound to the console they're created on (Forza series). Most can be copied without issue.

    USB Data0000, ...

    Super new to XBOX 360!

    I have moved my profile from the xbox to a USB stick, like a youtube video explained. I have downloaded the files that I wish to acquire.

    do any of these Data000x files contain my profile? I have 25+ now. Where did my profile go? and can I get it back?

    i don't really have an answer as to how you can recover your save files, but i can tell you that signing in on another console shouldn't have caused any issues. anything purchased, like the games and downloadable content song should be available to re-download
    though.

  5. Hey there Bri1351!

    Sorry to hear that your save file for Rock Band 3 went missing. Unless you backed up your save data, there's unfortunately no way to retrieve your game data. However, QuickMythril is right in that you are able to re-download the actual game and songs you've
    purchased. We can only speculate that something went wrong with your actual USB device rather than something happening with the Xbox 360 console itself.

    If you have any additional Xbox support questions, please don't hesitate to ask!

    My Xbox just broke and i'm gonna buy a new tomorrow, but I dont wanna lose my progress.

    Plug in the USB drive and then you can copy or move your save files. Go to Settings, then System, then Memory. Just choose the storage device the game saves are on now, select the saves you want and choose to copy them or move them. Then choose the USB drive
    and copy or move them to that drive. Then you can just plug the USB drive into the new console and move the files over.

    You can just download your profile to the new console and that will move your account information -

    And anything you purchased from the marketplace can be redownloaded through your download history -

    transfering data between external hard drives

    I personally always use the USB flashdrive as the middle man since it's the safest way.

    Some save files are forever lost when using the transfer cable and some games have save files that are restricted to the original hard drive. You wont know if any of your games fit in this category when using the transfer cable...but if you're using a flashdrive,
    you will get the prompt telling you the file cant be copied.

    With those files you can simply move them to the usb...but you might also want to do some research on those specific games to make sure they are compatible. Like Forza for example, you might be able to move it from HDD to USB to new HDD but there is a high
    chance your profile would be marked as tampered with and you would lose everything since it will no longer load even if you moved it back to your original HDD.

    My advice would be to copy all the save files that allow you to copy onto your USB and then move all the files from the USB to the new HDD. This way you will also have 2 versions of each save, you can think of your old HDD as a back up file.

    If you have any games that cant be copied, make a list of them and then do a search for "Moving -insert game- save file xbox 360" and see if you can find any random forum post of people having issues while moving the save file
