Issues with original Xbox games after hard drive transfer on my 360

I finally upgraded my 120 GB hard drive on my Xbox 360 console to a 250 GB drive. I used the transfer cables and followed the directions exactly. Everything works fine except my original Xbox games won't start now. It doesn't matter if it's disc or downloaded.
I redownloaded the games, cleared the cache, everything I could think of, but to no avail. Does anybody have any ideas?

Memory transfer

this will transfer data on an original 360 hard drive to a 360 s hard drive?

 

Transferring disc exported songs to a new 360?

Transferring isn't an issue as the transfer cable will transfer everything over with the exception of game installs.

However you will want to use the license transfer tool on the Microsoft site otherwise you would have to be online all the time to use the purchased content.

Xbox.com | System Use - Transferring Content Licenses to a New Console

Edit: If you are selling the original hard drive with the console and are then unable to do the transfer then you will have to stick your gamertag, save games and the RB1 export files on a memory device before selling and then do the licence transfer on new console and download everything else..

 

Was the new hard drive purchased brand new from a retailer or used/from a third a party like ebay?

 

I went in to GameStop and bought it there. It might be used...

 

Your HDD may be counterfeit...Although I don't see Gamestop ever returning you your money. I would go and make sure you get a new HDD. If you're connected to Live, and your Xbox original titles that used to work, don't, then your drive is a fake.

 

Why would just Xbox games be affected by that and not my 360 games?

 

Original Xbox games require an official MS brand hard drive to run because of the emulation software included on them. Knock-offs don't have that software so original games are not able to run.
