Xbox 360 gamertag/profile help?

Question

I recently got an xbox 360 and i have a profile simply the name was cody. Well i let a friend play it at his house he had internet and he ended up making and using my name and using xbox live with a gamertag i didn't like. My question is this is there any way of changing it back to my plain offline profile titled Cody or coping saved games from this profile and put em in maybe a new one. Like i said its a new sytem i'm still learning about it. Also whats the difference between deleteing profile only and deleteing profile and items. Why keep the items without a profile whats the purpose? So please help

Answer 1

Microsoft put in a provision that does NOT allow you to transfer gamesaves between profiles.  You can call xbox live support to change your profile back, but as long as you have all the info present that was used to open the account (credit card, maybe id).

Answer 2

this is what you can try to do..get a memory card for your 360 and save all of the saved games info onto the card..i don't think  you will be able to transfer the achievements or not..but im pretty sure you can transfer game progress..and then make a new profile on your xbox and save the games on that..maybe that would work..and if your really really new to the system and don't have that much progress or something..then just make a new one and leave it like that..u can also change the gamertag to something that you would like better..but you have to have microsoft points for that..and those cost money..
