Skyrim won't load save

I had a copy of skyrim that cracked . So I went out and bought another copy .  I try to play load my save on my hard drive . Went to continue and it says that the disc is dirty which it isn't . I can only start a new game and that works but other than that i'm screwed , I've tried basically everything uninstalling the game , clear system cache , uninstalling and reinstalling Dawnguard DLC . Still won't work . Even tried redownloading my profile , and even offline , but it wont let me do anything but start a new game . 

I've never encountered such a problem with Skyrim before, I'd recommend contacting Xbox support (US phone number is:  1-800-469-9269) and they should be able to help you out.

Maybe you should format the hard drive and save your game in a USB

i actually had this exact problem when i had a friend come over to my house with his skyrim data. This is probably the last thing you want to hear, but the resolution my friend and i came to is that the save corrupted. It worked again as soon as we removed the corrupted save. I would reccomend deleting (or at least moving off of the current device) the most recent save by going through

System Settings > Storage > [Device] > Games and Apps > Skyrim

This is the only way my friend got his device to load saves again and unfortunately this may be what you have to do.

DO NOT DELETE ALL SAVES, ONLY THE MOST RECENT ONE- Try to just move the save to another device temporarily to see if it allows you to at least access a slightly older save first.

You will unfortunately lose anything you have done between the two saves, but with skyrim keeping three autosaves, it shouldn't be too much of catching up
