    as the title suggests i cant for the life of me get an image file created from my dumped files! its extremely irritating and im loosing patience quite quickly.

    so heres the scenario. my 360 died a few months ago and recently a friend of mine bought one of his own (with a 20g HDD) so i was feeling generous after watching him fill his HDD up after 3 games worth of DLC's (FO:3, Borderlands1&2 & the BL1 title updates) so i dumped everything off my HDD (120g) using Xtaf.

    i never actually got around to dumping his and we had a falling out, so now im sitting here with a blank 120g HDD and no image file to rewrite with. i have my entire dump file, but it didnt create an image..

    is there a way of creating an img file from this or are my 1200+ hours worth of gaming and saves completely fubared and lost forever??

    ive got the basis of the folder structure down with the whole "zeros" folder etc. but thats way too time consuming and windows itself doesnt register the save files/title updates if i follow the directory path throughout the folders. and from what ive experienced theres no "drag and drop" method..

    if anyone can help PLEASE i would kiss your feet (via the internet of course lol)

    small update. after some further searching here on digiex i came across half a million party buffalo suggestions, so i downloaded and installed it. with this one i can find the "PROFILE.Bin" files but not the "Backup.bin" files im searching for/trying to create...step forward, half step back..

    and what am i supposed to do with this huge "source code" folder that came with PB?

    So you have the files / folders of all your saves? e.g Content\0000000000000000 or you have an img dump of all your saves?

    If you have the files / folder simply inject them to the new drive, you do not need to make an image if thats what you have.

    I had to manually all the "Content" and "Zeros" folder under the data partition after the format. and like i said i have all the original dump data but when i follow the directories to each game etc theres nothing in the final folder (using windows explorer on win7). does this mean its still there but windows doesnt register it because its an Xbox format file?

    If you have nothing in the final folders you might not have backed up all your data. What's the total size of your backup?

    Some screenshots of what you have might help as i'm a bit unsure what's happening from what you are saying.
