send 360 save saves to mate

[yer_averagejoe]

Hey all,

Me and my flatmate used to share an xbox 360 but he's just moved away down south and bought a new xbox, leaving his game saves up here.

Simple question: How do I get him his saves?

I've tried moving them to a flash pen (does 4mb sound right?). I was going to take an image of the pen and send him the image to burn to another flash pen and plug into his own xbox... but its formatted in some wierd format and is showing in windows at taking up all the space on the flash pen (4GB). I've also read that doing it this way is DRM protected and at the other end he wouldn't be able to transfer the games to his new xbox?

I do have an xbox memory card.. could I move the saves to that and just post it to him?

Obviously if there is a way of doing it digitally that would be preferred..

Cheers for the help!

Hmm.. well my flash pen is 4GB and I copied the user folder over, which was reported as 4MB. In windows the flash pen is apprently full, though. I guess its just "full" because windows can't read what is on it.

Yeah he's going to recover the profile from xbox live. I found that Xtaf program last night and will have a play around with it tonight. Another option would be to make a tiny 50mb ish partition for the USB pen, let the xbox format that how it wants, back up the save data to that partition, take an image of that, compress it (would be mostly zeros so should compress nicely) then send to him. At the other end, he'd just have to do the reverse.

XBox memory card is no longer an option as it appears he took it with him when we moved out and it is now somewhere at his parent's house.

Will let you know how it goes!
