Re: Gamertag

Your achievements are tagged against your gamertag, so surely when you recover it as instructed, all will be present and correct??

As for the changeover, i believe the arcades have internal memory now so maybe the update could've been run before you connected the hdd (not sure how much space it requires)...?

Re: Gamertag

dont know m8

i played res evil and sega mega

and got a stack full of achievements of them and they did go on my
tag and gamerscore -- so i took the harddrive off the acrade and stuck it
in my elite to bash sum call of duty and it sayed no profiles

so i look in system settings -- memory -- hard drive -- gamer profiles --
the lager lout corrupted gamer profile

so i had 2 delete the profile only and recover my tag (which i did )

and i was back to the gamerscore i origanly had before i connected it to my arcade

It would have cos any achieves aquired offline wouldnt have been logged, so when u recovered tag u were back to where u were last time u signed in on elite.

If u had put it back on elite and it wasnt corrupt and it signed in, achieves would have been updated.
Not sure why it corrupts tho. Some people may have info on that.
Swapping HDD's over should work fine.
