    Hello!
    Im going to be completely reformating my SSD in a day or two, and I was wondering how it might be possible to get my GTA4 save files onto the newly reformatted SSD. I really dont want to do a backup of my entire hard drive right now just to put it all back when im done.
    Is there a known way to just put my GTA4 files back? and if so could I please have specific instructions?
    Thank you so much for the help and time!
    :)

    C:/Users/Your Name/Appdata/Local/Rockstar Games/savegames

    The folders in there should be your save game, and user invalid is your autosave profile. All you need to do is move those folders within "savegames" to the savegames folder on your SSD after you have installed GTA IV.

    You may need to enable Hidden Files and Folders through Control Panel/Appearance and Personalization/Folder Options - In Folder Options there will be a tab called View, and within the box there will be a dot you will have to select to turn hidden files and folders on or off.
