Can you transfer saves from Xbox 360 to Xbox One via USB? However, if you have a Gold membership and the game that you want to transfer your saves for is a backwards compatible title then you can load the saves onto the Cloud and transfer them that way. However, please remember that this is a one way transfer and they cannot be moved back.

Advertisement Did you know that you can use any Portable apps let you take your favorite software anywhere via a flash drive or cloud storage. Here are 100 of them to cover your every need, from games to image editors. That has a capacity between 1GB and 16GB as a memory unit for your? Once formatted and prepared you can transfer profiles, game saves and other files from your hard drive onto your new memory unit. There’s a variety of reasons this might appeal, with the obvious being easily portable profiles and saves. If you’re visiting a friend for a night of games or living in a house with multiple consoles, a portable memory stick you can carry around suddenly appears quite useful.

Best of all this takes virtually no time to do, and all you’ll need is a flash drive and your console. Preparing Your USB Stick This walkthrough will focus on moving your profile to a USB stick so you can login to Xbox Live, play games and earn achievements (as well as being able to re-download all content tied to your account). Don’t forget you’ll also need your save files if you want to continue your progress, unless of course you’re playing a that stores progress in the cloud. Luckily the Xbox 360 takes much of the pain out of preparing your new memory unit and transferring data, though it is not possible to copy game saves and profiles – only move them. As your USB device will be detected as an Xbox 360 memory unit there’s no need to specify folders or destination paths, just choose transfer and go. First of all make sure that the flash drive you choose doesn’t contain any important files or folders as all data on the drive will be lost once your Xbox has formatted it.

Once you’ve checked out the drive, insert it into one of the USB slots on the front of your Xbox. Turn on your console but don’t sign in – you’ll need to be offline in order to transfer profile data after all. Select My Xbox from the vertical menu and scroll all the way to the right hand side where you can choose to modify your console’s preferences. Within this settings menu choose Memory, and your currently connected devices will be displayed, including an as-yet unprepared USB drive. Select the USB option and your console will report that the USB device has not yet been configured for use with an Xbox 360 and you’ll need to configure it. Agree to the configuration tool and choose Configure Now. Once complete your USB stick is ready to go.

Transfer & Access Back to the Memory menu and choose Hard Drive (assuming your main data is stored on the hard drive, which it usually is) to reveal your data. Profiles are stored in the Profiles folder and game saves appear underneath game content in Games. When you’re ready to copy something (you’re going to need your profile in order to play any of those saves, so best start there) choose Transfer. In your Storage Devices list you should now see the USB drive listed as a Memory Unit. You are now free to transfer anything you like, provided you’ve got the space. Profiles can easily be copied quickly, but game saves will take longer as you will need to visit each game entry and extract the relevant file. Your USB stick will now allow you to log in to from any console once you have plugged it in.

Whilst your profile (and any other information) is on this USB stick you cannot login without it. Should you decide you need that USB stick back or you intend on using the same Xbox for a while then you can always transfer your content back. This is essentially the same as your initial transfer, only in reverse. Instead of transferring from your hard drive, transfer from your USB memory unit to. Game saves can get a little trickier here as you don’t want to overwrite any previous progress, so take care while overwriting files.

If it all goes wrong (you lose your memory stick, for example) then you can always recover your gamertag via the Xbox menu (hit the Xbox button and select Recover Gamertag). Hello - can someone help me with the following xbox issue? I had an 8 gb maxell flash drive go 'unformatted' with 2 profiles and all games saves for 2 yrs worth of Skyrim. I was able to move the data from the unformatted drive over to my computer. I purchased a 16 gb Xbox brand flash drive and am trying to move this data from computer over to new drive.

When I put it in the Xbox it shows over 14 gb available, but when I put it in the computer to move the data over it shows less than 500 kb available. How to I get the data from the old drive that's now on my computer to the new one and back on my xbox?

Thanks for any help. Thats incorect. No transfer cable is needed. All u need to do is move all of ur save files to the usb and then move them from the usb to ur new system. Just make sure its ben configured 1st, both consols are offline, and that when u plug in or remove the usb that ur console is completely unhooked. Otherwise the back door program from ms wile try to wipe the usb do to prevent moding or cercomvintion of things that would make there products sutch as the transfer cable useless. Ms loves there money u know lol.

She did a license transfer to my 360 so i could play the games i had lost. But then it stopped. So time to get another xbox360. So when I got her this one she did that transfer to mine so she has like no access to hardly any of her games. Well I was gunna do a transfer to her 360 of my profile.

I bought a new 360 system a few weeks ago for my son. It has a 4 gb hard drive. I am already having problems with the memory. I installed a 16 gig USB stick and it works fine, but just tried to play Need for Speed rivals, and it says there is an HD update and it will only store on the system hard drive. I do not have enough space on the hard drive. Anyway, my question is I want to buy a 500 gig system and possibly return this one or sell it, can I transfer my sons minecraft world to the new system? If I lose this game he will be very upset.

He's spent many hours working on it. Can I just copy the saved minecraft file to a USB stick and then insert the USB in the new 360 and copy it to the hard drive? Thanks for any help you can give me. You don't need to return the unit at all, and in fact you can just buy a hard drive and expand the internal storage that way.

I'd always recommend you buy a brand new hard drive for this purpose, it just isn't worth the risk of having it die on you early. The back of your 360 will have a little door inside which is a slot for a hard drive. You'll basically need to ensure you're buying the right hard drive, but if you go to a store and tell them the model (e.g. Xbox 360 4GB Slim) they should be able to point you in the right direction. With storage, more is always better. I don't think 500GB costs much more than the 250GB units, last time I checked anyway.

Here's some handy information. I am so lost. Hmmm tough one to call without seeing it, but it does indeed sound like a hard drive problem. You may be able to restore the data, but probably not without using some third party tools and investing some time and effort.

I don't know a lot about this, but I know that your 360 hard drive is a hard drive like any other, so it depends how far you're willing to go in an attempt to save your data. We actually covered this quite a long time ago (2009) to be exact here: While that article is undoubtedly out of date, it's probably still possible.

Here's a post on another website from 2013: So. It sounds like things are going south from a HDD point of view. You can probably connect, rescue and restore to a new hard drive (or maybe it's just a corrupt filesystem and you can use the same drive), but it will take some effort. I'm not entirely sure of the request, however if you're interested in connecting your 360 hard drive to your PC then we've got a guide on how to do it here: If you're interested in transferring between multiple hard drives then you'll need the official Xbox 360 Transfer Kit.

The transfer is handled by the console in this instance. As for using non-360 drives as hard drives for your 360 - probably possible, though you'd need the correct drive, a spare casing, steady hands and patience. If you're after a HDD for your console then I have to recommend eBay - many people whose old consoles died have spare drives they're virtually giving away.

Hope this helps, comment back if not! Thats incorect. No transfer cable is needed.
