Xbox crashed while saving. Is my game lost forever?

I was playing Fable II on my friend's 360, which crashes alot (starts skipping then says that the disc is unreadable - it's not the disc, it's the xbox). I was saving my game when it did this again, but it froze on the screen asking me to confirm that I wanted to save.

Now when I try to play my saved game, it goes to the "loading Oakville" screen with music for about 2 seconds then goes black and silent. I cannot do anything else without restarting the xbox. I have tried at least 5 times and same thing happens every time.

I have tried transferring my save game from the hard drive to a memory card - no change.

I have tried loading other user's games and staring a new game - worked fine.

I would like to try putting it on the memory card and loading it from another xbox, but I don't have access to another xbox anytime soon.

Is there anything I can do to recover my game??

    What a suprise, another Xbox-crash-related question.

    Usually, games delete the old saves from a memory card and replace it with the new save. Because your old save was erased and the new one was only half-saved, it's most likely unrecoverable.

    Sorry, pal. Good luck starting a new game.

    man ur lucky ur game works at least.i just got a new xbox and the fable 2 disk makes my xbox crash. sorry bout ur lost game save though. it sounds like the xbox crashed before the game was done saving so u probably wont be able to play that saved game.

    Afraid not :'(

    When it was saving, it crashed so it didnt finish and the Data has become Corrupted and there is no way to get your data back im afraid :/

    sorry, SOAPthrail.

    I dont think so. if it didnt save but saved a partial overwrite, then the save file is effectively dead
