Transferring Save Data From One Account to Another

Hey,

I just connected to XBOX Live with my existing gamer tag, using a new Xbox. Anyway, I played Halo Reach before I was connected to live and now, the campaign save/progress is saved in an offline account and my account linked to Live has no data for my Halo campaign. Is there a way to save my progress in the new account?

-Thanks

Nope. You can transfer file saves but you can only access them under the same gamertag. I'm assuming it's to keep people from cheating.

Technically by design they prevent you from doing this, but that doesn't mean it's not possible. The following is a procedure by which people were doing this to move SFIV saves from one profile to another back when the game first came out. Note that this only applies to game progress, not achievments or gamerscore and it requires a memory unit (in addition to whatever your normal storage is) to work. It can probably also work fine with a USB key but USB support didn't exist when these instructions were created:

-Insert the Memory Unit and go into the Xbox Dashboard

-In The Xbox Dashboard move to the blade furthest to the right

-Select: Memory --> Hard Drive --> Games --> The profile with the game save you want --> The game --> The game save --> COPY

-Repeat the last step for each save game you'd like to copy

-Remove the memory card

-Select: Memory --> Hard Drive --> Gamer Profiles --> The profile(s) the game save(s) came from --> DELETE

-log out of all profiles

-log into the profile you'd like to move the save games to

-insert the Memory Unit back into the console

-Select: Memory --> Memory Unit with the save games --> Select "Unrecognized Profile" --> Select the Game for the save game you want --> Select the Game Save you want --> COPY --> Select the Hard Drive

-Repeat the last step for each save game you'd like to copy

Give that a shot. Basically you are "orphaning" the save by deleting the profile associated with it, but you can recover the profile on the original storage device with no data loss. I don't know if this still works afer the November dashboard update.
