new console old hard drive and live account

Haven’t played in over a year and bought a new console for my boys but am using my old 60GB hard drive and Kinetic. I am also attempting to reactivate a dated live account (activated no problem through computer but now struggling on console).



That said, I cannot access internet or live with direct plug in. Also, Kinetic is requiring an update which I can’t do because I can’t log into LIVE from the new counsel. AND I can’t play any games until all of the above is refigured…. Help! And thanks in
advance for the advice.

Buying new Xbox console, questions about moving saved info to new one

My old console died a week ago, was the older version console w/20 gig hard drive. It came with a memory card that I have all my saved game data on; however all purchased games and gamertag/Xbox Live account is on the hard drive. I prefer *not* to buy
a transfer cable if I can prevent it, which leads me to the following questions-

1. Can I load up my gamertag/Xbox Live account on the new console without needing the old hard drive?

2. Can I re-download the games I purchased that are currently on the old hard drive?

3. Is there any way I can view what is left on the old hard drive to determine if it is worth it to move to the new console?

Thanks in advance for your replies, suggestions, links, etc

 

New Slim, old hard drive?

In order to use your old games you must purchase either the 250 or 320 gb hard drive for the 360 slim console. Any attempt to fit your old hard drive would be considered modding and could result in your brand new console being banned from live.

 

Hey there, when plugging in an old HDD to a new consoles the profiles that are previously on there can sometimes have issues signing-in to Xbox Live. I would suggest deleting the profile from the console (profile only), clearing the system cache, restart
the console and re-download your profile. Hopefully after your profile downloads it should automatically sign you into live.
