User blog comment:ToddFGamer/XBOX Won't Load Skyrim/@comment-4057437-20120927195642

We tried clearing the Game Cache per Bethesda's directions. We didn't loose anything. We were using a "Slim" XBox with a 250 GB hard drive and keep our game saves on USB thumb drives. (There doesn't seem to be any difference in the length of loading screens if we keep saves on the hard drive and we think keeping saves on several USB thumbs is good insurance.)
