XBox 360 hard drive

It may be that you accidentally deleted your gamer tag. try recovering it from Xbox live. if you deleted your tag you may have also accidentally deleted your saves too which you cannot recover.

if you can get a usb (at least 1 gb) and plug it into your friends xbox, you can put your gamertag profile onto the usb and then transfer it manually. this is the safest way. your usb must be configured to Windows FAT32 file system format (devices formatted for use with other file systems might not work). On your console go to my xbox then system settings, then memory. on the storage devices screen select usb storage device. select configure now (note this will erase everything on your usb) then The Xbox console tests your USB storage device to make sure it will work correctly with the console. If your device passes this test, you can use it as a USB memory unit. to get your gamer profile on there go to system settings, memory then the hard drive, select gamer profiles and move your gamer profile to the usb. you shouldnt recover your gamer tag unless you absolutely have to as any achievements or changes you have made since the account last connected to Xbox LIVE will be lost during the recovery process. once again do not recover your gamertag to a friend's console as a convenience, as you could also lose your saved games!

hope this helps

You need to go into settings and reformat it...you will lose all saved data, but you will not have to buy a new one. We actually had to do it last night and it sucked, but the xbox is working now!! Any gamer tags you have online you can put back onto the xbox. It's really, really annoying but it will save you the money of buying a new hard drive that you would still lose all the data on anyway.

Your problem is a corrupted hard drive. Your only option really is to buy a new hard drive. If your gamer profiles are on Xbox Live, you will be able to recover them to your new Hard Drive.

Go to the Xbox Live sign in and scroll over until you see "recover gamer tag" and follow the instructions.

I don't think that is an xbox live related problem. to check if is an xbox 360 problem or the xbox live, or maybe the hard drive. Remove the hard drive and try to play a game like this. if it doesn't play is the xbox 360 since all the info for xbox live will be in the hard drive.

If you have a newer arcade xbox 360 they come with an internal memory, so the xbox live info could be there. If that's the case delete the gamer tag that has the xbox live capabilities and try it again.

You can always recover a gamer tag from any xbox.

Note: you don't really download anything when you connect to xbox live, it's just like connecting to the internet. All they need is your info to be able to connect.

Delete your account from your xbox360, then recover it, takes 30minutes to recover depending on the size of your profile, and not to worry, to delete your gamer tag from your system does not delete saves or anything, and is simple to recover and usually updates the score

Make a new one.

I have heared that if you just delete the profile, just the profile, everything will be just fine (note: This only works if your profile is on xbox live).
Just go to memor, then go into the saving device the corrupted profile is on. Then "click" on the botton that says profile and delete the corrupted profile. Remember; the profile will be a small save and not taking up most of your harddrive, look for something with MB size, not GB size. When you have done this, go to "recover gamertag" and do so for the profile you just deleted. After all this, your game saves and achivements should be present and working.
