    Can not play original xbox games on my xbox 360 console


    I just got a larger hard drive for my xbox 360. It's a 250 gb hhd. I did not transfer my old data from my hard drive to the new one. I put in on and i am unable to play any original xbox games. When i put in an original xbox game it says to download the
    game now. Does anyone know what I can do to fix this.

    :)

    Can not play original xbox games on my xbox 360 console

    Sounds to me like you have an 3rd pary hard drive.You must have an official Microsoft hard drive to play backwards compatible games.

  6. Ignore Ezak, there is no such update. As Daft Badger stated aftermarket HDDs do not have the necessary partition to play Xbox Originals. If you wish to play Xbox Originals you will need to buy a Microsoft-certified HDD.

    Hey there!



    Okay, as previously said, original Xbox games cannot be played online. However, certain games (Original Xbox) can be played on the Xbox 360 console. Have a look at the
