Id like to recover my saves if possible and save them to my new Xbox as I personaly dont want to be going through games like GTA from the start again.

So is there any way I could recover save game data from my Old Xbox its not modded and It keeps getting an Error 16 mesaage just after it starts to boot, ive tried booting a game like Halo 2 with a dashboard update on but it wont even load the game so any other ideas?

You are pretty much stuffed unfortunately.  There was a program you could use to unlock an Xbox HD, but I believe you now have to pay for the software.  Then once unlocked you would need a chipped Xbox to be able to retrieve the save games.

memory card?

sure there was one
