New, larger one installed. HOWEVER..................all my advances, perks, etc seem to be gone....................after many hours (that turned into days as recorded by the game)...........now I seem to be back to starting over after having to reload the game COD WAW. Anyone got any ideas of how to overcome this..................or am I stuck with this consequence? OSAGE................playing on the deathmatch WAW server. Dang, at my age, I'm never sure I have enough time to recoup the various perks....................any help very much appreciated.

Actually, I was under the naive belief that it was all stored in the cloud. So yeah, feeling pretty silly....................

There was a lot of data saved in the transfer, but not the apps..................the old HD really went in the crapper..............as above, I was under mistaken idea that registered players info was stored on cloud. Thanks for the suggestion

I'm looking on the current uploaded version where I used a different profile to play and create some data. And I'm not finding the file that would otherwise be copied.................. Beers send me a place to look, but I'm not seeing it there...............maybe missing something. Where is the file? I'm not seeing an activision cod players profiles file Thought if I could create the data on a new profile, I could get to it and then tell the folks at the place where my computer work is done where to drill to.

I found it on my new hardrive and with the "temporary" profile. So now I have to get the connector and drill down the old HD. I assume that it is a matter of making a copy of the old profile for OSAGE and then deleting the current one that really has no data and swapping in the old file. Right??? LOL..........I may live to fight another day!!! Thanks for the help.

I was thinking about putting the retrieved file in alongside the "empty' one with an X (to keep them individually identifieable) in the name and then deleting the empty and renaming the retrieved file to take out the X thanks for the input...................gotta go tomorrow to get the USB attachment cable and get started on this. Playing without the various perks under another profile kinda sucks Edited July 30, 2018 by Osage

Just overwrite or if it is easier for you delete the old one and replace it with the OSAGE one.

Your help, vastly appreciated.
