How to Put My Gamertag on a USB Drive

The Gamertag attached to your Xbox 360 console contains a variety of information, including your saved games and any achievements that you have earned while playing on that Gamertag. However, you are likely to encounter a situation where you acquire a new Xbox 360, or where you want to play on a friend's console. To ensure that you can use saved games and attach any progress to your Gamertag, you need to move your Gamertag. This can be accomplished with any USB flash drive with enough free space to accommodate the size of your Gamertag file.
