    So, with that new 90% sale on the Xbox 360's marketplace, i bought a few games for my Slim model, one of them being the game BLACK™, from the original Xbox. However, the game refuses to start, giving me the message "The game could not start. Please download the game again." instantly. I tried a few solutions, such as reversing software updates, clearing cache, reinstalling the game and hard resetting, nothing worked. My Xbox has an original 250 GB Microsoft Hard Drive (it has the microsoft logo on the storage section), therefore the problem probably isn't my hard drive (i saw someone saying that maybe my hard drive doesn't have the backwards compatibility and that i need to enable it by messing with the partitions, i don't know how to do it). I'll be glad if anyone shows me the solution for my problem

    :)

    "Game could not start. Please try downloading again." error.

    Have you tried deleting the games, then clearing the system cache before redownloading? If I remember right this can be done through Settings > Storage. Hope this helps.
