| DOH!!!
sorry no such probs here pally... but I have been worried about that, and
trying to find a (non-modifying my Xbox) way to back up all my stuff on the
Xbox HD (since I got mine the day of the US launch, its getting some gray
hairs too).
Please do not tell me to use a memory card. There is no way a 32 meg or 64
meg mem-card will back up a 2997 block save-game (DOA) or even the 3167
block Save (Tao-fang) when a 32 meg is only 502 blocks.
32 megs = 32768 kb
502 blocks = 32768 kb
1 block = 65.275 kb
3167 blocks = 206725.925 kb
206725.925 kb = 201.881 megs
all numbers are approximations based off 1024kb in 1 meg and are rounded on
each step to the nearest thousandth.
any ideas? keep in mind I do not intend on opening up my Xbox when
responding.
