I have an Xbox 360 Arcade, with a 20GB hard drive, and it's pretty full.
I scratched my Assassins Creed game disc, but it still works and now I want to install it.
I can't erase stuff on the hard drive since they're not my games installed on it, but my brothers. Please help I'm too nervous to play Assassins Creed in fear I might scratch it again, rendering it useless.
So my question is, can I install it to a USB flash drive and still save to the hard drive?
If not, what can I do?

Yes, you can install games to a USB stick. Most games are 5-7GB, so you'll need to make sure that your USB stick can accommodate that. Note that the maximum size supported by the Xbox 360 is 32GB. If yours is larger than that, you'll want to partition it first so that there is a 32GB partition.
The location of save games is completely independent of where the game data itself is stored. Remember, you don't have to install a game - if you're running it from the disk, save games can't be written there so in that case they must be saved elsewhere.
As @Strike said, if the game doesn't prompt you for what storage device to use when you start it up, you can change that in the options somewhere. Also note that if you only have one storage device, that prompt won't be shown since there isn't a choice for you to make.
