Can you transfer your memory unit data to your HDD? (from a Grrl Gamer)

i have been using a 64 meg memory car dsince i first bought my xbox... now i just got a 20 gig hard drive in the mail... do i need to start over with a new gamer profile, and give up my acheivement points, or can i transfer my account to my hard drive? (if so, how?)

thanks so much in advance!! (detailed instructions appreciated, im not too tech savy)

well I dont know if you can transfer it to your HDD but you can have both in at the same time. Just choose the HDD to save all your games too.

By the way, did you have xbox live before with the memorey card? I'm assuming no. If you are wanting to play on live and if you are required to change your gamertag then you would loose all of your acheivements.

I don't understand why chicks always say that they are a girl in the topic to get more attention.Devoo55

because there usually guys who just want more attention

Edit: and if ya can have both at the same time surely you can transfer the saves? and aren't gamerprofiles backed up on xbox live so you should just be able to sign in as normal on ur hdd

hm... how do you mean... are you saying that i cannot use my same gamer profile on my hdd? that i will lose all my acheivements if i want to start using it as my main way to save stuff?

and no, i dont have xbox live yet. are you saying when i do get xbox live, i will not be able to use my current gamer tag and i will lose my acheivements?

Yes you can. Go into the 360 dashboard and move over to the system blade and select memory but make sure your HD is hooked up. Select your memory card, then choose copy or move and then select the HD to copy or move it there. You can keep all your stuff on your memory card if you want and just copy it to your HD or you can move it all over and leave the card empty.

Hope that helps

if your gamertag is already in sue then yes... im nto 100% about it but id be careful creating your live acct... try and make sure it uses your old profile instead of creating a new one... then you would lose everythingLocalGod_TM

agaiin... sorry if im being ignorant here. i love videogames.. just not too knowlegeable about them. my gamer tag is already in use... by me. its really random though so i doubt its in use by ANOTHER person on xbox live already. my question is this: the profile i have going on my memory card, and all the acheivements ive been collecting since fall 06.. that CAN be transfered to xbox live, assuming no one else on xbox live already has that name? or..???

"Yes you can. Go into the 360 dashboard and move over to the system blade and select memory "

haha.. ok, not trying to be dense, but whats a system blade? is that like a blade server or whatever?? if so, im not on xbox live...

hello? can anyone answer that question for me?Usmael_Masuel_X

that is the menu for games, music, xbox live, and system preferences. Go all the way to the right and you should see a "memory" option

ahh ok,great thanks!: D

how about some clarification on whether or not my acheivements will be wiped out when i sign up for xbox live?

hey, btw, cool icon! i loved chronicles of riddick, and was like one of the few people who saw pitch black in theaters. too cool. i hope there is a sequel: /

You'll still have your acheivements there, I did the same thing a little while back. You wont lose anything in the process. As for game saves just copy, don't move, in case something happens you'll have your game saves backed up.Kakua_Omari

ah ok, but what about xbox live? thats another question of mine. ive never signed up for live... when i do, will i lose my acheivements?
