The warning and instructions weren't that specific it just mentioned ...dude, you better back your stuff up cuz you're not gonna like what happens next... or something like that. Other than moving the maps and players info, is there a way to save all the work and players data? Years ago I tried something like this before with a "safe" software download and I got banned from a server when trying to play again. We got a secondary HD to put cod on but unfortunately it's on the main drive now. Thanks for any solutions

Years back I had all gold weapons and lost them. I've copied the profiles before but not sure how I put them back into the game folders. I remember having some trouble with it. What about tags? My son is tagged in a clan, I think it's safe since those things are sever side issues. We shall see how it works. Might have the guts to do it this weekend. Thanks again

When my harddrive will crash I install the OS, the games, patch them up and copy the games back to the place and done. Hours of work and waiting, but worth it Awards

Copy and paste the MOD and MAP folders to transfer over them (they will download as you play also but does save time)
