I think around tht figure... abt 13GB

guys,



all i see in partition 3 -> Content ->

are folders with random numbers and alphabet and when i tried to extract them all it shows me error message "cluster out of range"

i'd try to extract the folder 1 by 1 and some of the file show the same error message even i extract them 1 by 1. i guess those files are corrupted. it have like 200++ folders in there and if i copy 1 by 1, it will take at least half day for me to extract them all

my question is, is there a way to recognize the folder to it's respective game in partition 3? so i can save some time and only backup the save games i want and delete the rest.

hmm i think standard only have abt 4 and a namelist something like tht....

could you list the folder name tht named sound logical etc content

Dark,

there are four folders in Partition 3 -> Content

but each of the sub folders has it's child folders where i'm having problem copy them.

Partition 3 -> Content ->

there are 4 folders, which i'm having problem copy two of them.

1s folder name is numbers+alphabet combination,
2nd folder name is "00000000" (not sure exactly how many ZEROs)

both of them are having hundred over sub folders where im having problem copy some of them.

bro, the numbers + alphabet, does it have a lot of subfolders?

yes you are right! So guys, any suggestion? i just want my GOW2 & MOTOGP 08 & Fifa 09 & Dead space save games!

i am assuming that all the folder names don't make sense at all in terms of relating it to any game right?

as i know if there's error when moving over the folders, it could be a couple of files in a particular folder is corrupted.

ur HDD sounds seriously messed up. i think better just borrow a MCard from an arcade owner and transfer your profile+save "officially"

Just a question i want to ask cos im thinking of upgrading my HDD. Is it neccessary to clear the cache in the 20gb HDD before we do the transfer? If so does it means that i have to re download all my DLC's to be able to use them on the new 160gbHDD? A little confused when i read the tutorial and the tutorial says to clear all the cache.

Sure you got enough HDD space? Keep at least 10gb of space cause when extract out, the content decrypt and become a larger file then it's in the HDD.

Try after going down 1 subfolder, there should be 4 files. Copy each 1 of the folder out. The Folder ( if i'm not mistaken, the numbers+alphabet combination folder ) is a cache files. These usually main cause problem of problem.

Just find the folder which contain a lot of 1-6kb for each file size. These you have to select like 10-20 at a time and copy out.

Is just not messed up. It just that MS put too much of encryption on it till it hard to identify which is the real save game. It just that when it copied out, is screws up the decrypting part ( since so many files going out at 1 time )

Clearing cache means clearing the updates for each game which requires you to update to play on XBL.

Is up to you. It reduce the screw up time on transferring files. These is usually the problem causing to screw up.

I didn't clear my cache.. if I'm drag and drop the whole cache folder it's take very very long... I'm just create a folder "cache" and 5~8 files copy and paste to backup cache folder.. these might take some times.. better then drag the whole folder...

Pretty screw up... I guess tht time xbox360 trying to write something to the HDD and suddenly blackout caused the date damage...maybe u shd try the method as I describe to ksleong.

i didnt clear my cache

i just removed everything which i didnt need such as demos or videos

i had about 12gb free, with 1.5gb used

so i copied 1.5gb out, including cache... save games so far are intact, no problem !!!

Thanks guys for clearing things up. I dont have much downloads so not much i need to backup. Will try and see how it goes.

Thanks.

Wish me luck.


Flashing HDD...Successful...now waiting for my partition 3 backup. Seems like taking a very long time. I din clear my cache though.

Cheers.

No good. After i did my 20gb backup only i found out that i cant see partition 2 and partition 3 on my 120gb hdd. Tried using hex workshop for hexing but the values i find not the same as the ones on the tutorial. Any other hex editors that are easier to use cos i find hex workshop a little complicated.

Done hex editing finally. Now restoring all the files. Phew...really alot of work man.

You're right bro, most of the time spent would be on figuring out the hex editing part.

The trick I think is to change it on the 400 hex value to the one indicated. Then counter check it with winhex as it will then show what you have changed.

I spent alot of time geetting my SATA controller to recognize the HDD. Had to hexedit hddhackr in order for it to detect the drive. I find that using winhex to edit is easier than using hex workshop. Then i din realise that explorer360 was stuck when i was dumping the 20gb file to my PC. Only realise it after 1hour plus so time wasted there. Moral of the story is to not be greedy and back up the folders in partition 3 one by one.

So far all is working fine except my Forza 2 savegame is corrupted. Havent tried my Fable 2 savegame yet. Will update when i have time to test. Finished everything at 3.30am.

All in all a great experience. Thanks to MMX and Darksaviour for the tutorial. Cheers mates. Great job.



Now to install as much games as i can. Haha..

i am going to get myself a 160gb BEVT. Here no BEVS...
