Should really be in harware/software issues, but anyways......
If it is only when saving, it actually is most likely the HDD and not the disk. I had this issue a while back as well.
Try removing the HDD from the unit and any other flash drives/memory cards. see if you can remove the HDD and make a new game and save it to a memory card/flash drive. I, along with many other people I have helped with the Xbox, have seen this happen before. Most of the time, it is corrupt data on the HDD, not the actual game disk itself.
Try another game, see if it works and will save/load. It is all about isolating the source of the issue at this point. (FYI, I would hold off on calling MS support if you are out of warranty,... they really not be much help, trust me... ( I do tech support for a living).
EDIT: Just re-read your post. Try not saving the game to the HDD. If you can create a new character and load/save all day long, but just cannot on the one character you are referring to, then is definitely corrupt data. Had the exact same thing in Oblivion (strangley enough), after I accidentally dropped my HDD
