Back-up saved game files

[slugger_2003]

My hard drive has bad sectors so Acronis won't back it up. Is it possible to just save the "saved game" files and re-install the games then insert the game files into the new install? I know it's possible with steam games to save the .gcf files...but what about with other games?

I hate to say it, but depends on the games. Also, if those saved games are on some bad sectors you might be SOL.

as long as your saved game files aren't corrupt you should be able to do this for every game. It just may be a little difficult to locate those saved game files; it seems like every game has a different place it likes to store save files. Try checking your my documents folder, the documents and settings > user > application data folder, and the folder in the program files group for older games.
