1. I've never done it before, so how do I completely restore my new 120GB HDD to retail without copying anything from my old HDD, and without copying any other hacked software, etc?

2. Can I restore my Xbox Live account without copying any old files to my new HDD?

Not sure aobut how to do 1 but for 2 if u have a memory card just use that, or account recory

Yeah, I was waiting for your update this morning. We must remember that you didn't copy anything from your old HDD.
Also, miggidy, I want to setup my new 120GB HDD to a retail configuration without copying anything from my old HDD, and without copying over any hacked software or junk. Would you know how to do this?

It cant be the GT.. they would just ban your GT and not xbox...

Look at it this way, u had a modded xbox, got banned, put ur hands up and say ok u got me, then u get a new xbox un-modded, and they still ban the un-modde xbox but not ur GT ?????

no no no no no                                (i think and hope)

I still think it could be the gamertag. MS could be checking any Xbox associated with a previously banned GT, and looking for something (that we obviously don't know about), and banning any modded Xbox with that GT.

Oh, yeah, you beat me to it...

Yeah I didn't copy anything from my old drive but I am running Evox, XBMC, etc.

That's why I want to do a clean HDD install, and start slowly adding some hacked crap, hoping not to get banned of course.

But, if you're still not banned...

Well, after reading many threads on the new Xbox Live bannings, I decided to see if I had been banned from Xbox Live myself.

Yesterday, I turned my modchip off via switch (I also have a locked 120GB Seagate HDD) and went to the Xbox Live button on the screen. I then clicked on 'New Account' since I don't currently have an account. Now, I'm not sure if you connect to the Xbox Live servers when doing this but I didn't get any banned messages or whatnot. I just tried the same thing again a few minutes ago today and I still haven't got any messages. So, if you do connect to the Xbox Live servers when you make a 'New Account' then that means that I haven't got banned from Xbox Live using a turned-off modchip, a locked 120GB Seagate HDD, and homebrew gamesaves on the C: drive (along with homebrew applications).

Hope this helps?...

Well I thought about doing that, starting from a fresh retail hdd.
Hell even pulling the chip out but then I realized that there is no point in that.
Lets say it did work, that I was able to restore my entire xbox back to a clean state and make work fine on live.

But how the heck am I gonna run my apps then? The only solution then would be to get a second xbox, know what I mean?

So the important thing is to find out if you can run a modified box on live without being banned (Prviously banned xbox's that is)....

Okay, I see your point. But what do I use to setup my new HDD? (I've never done it before).

At this point, I'm wondering if it is the old HDD data or the old GT that is getting the "HDD AND EEPROM" people banned.

When can you confirm that your Xbox is still on Live? Also did you ever launch the French game?

Yes, I've had two Live accounts in the past. First being the free year that came with Live and second being a 2 month free trial. And no, I have not been banned with either gamertag.

With the 2 month free trial account, I had cancelled the day before it expired (because I didn't want to play Live until Halo 2 came out). When I had cancelled it, it was around mid-September. So I did not have a Live account when the Live banning started happening (Oct. 16 I think?).

One important question:

Did you copy anything from your old HDD like saved games?

No, no save on it. It only had my LIVE account on it.

misfits138,

Yes, it appears that only people who have been banned in the past are affected.
Although I think there was this one cat who said he was banned on B-Day as well.
A cat who had never been banned in the past.
But there is a lot of folks who are still runnin fine.
I say that if you haven't been banned since B-Day, then you are fine.
For now that is....

metamorphosis,

Yeah that was expected.
Now I gotta know if someone has ever tried a new Xbox Live account after being banned. But never made any changes to his xbox, like didn't add a new eeprom and stuff.

I have a friend who was banned in the past while using a 2 month trial of Live.
I had him back up and running with a new eeprom.
Well he didn't extend his account so he closed it.
I wonder what would happen to his xbox now if he was to open a new account?
Hmmmm....
I'm gonna see if I can get a hold of one of those 2 month free Live cards and have him open a new account....
