What would happen if you use a HDD even after the console is banned, for offline use(primary to save game progress).
Would the HDD become corrupted, and never be usable on a UNbanned console in the future? Someone please explain this HDD stuff.
Ok so heres the basics, hopfully you will understand better.
1. Banned xbox will make game saves and gamertag "appear" corrupt if HDD or MU is moved to another xbox that is NOT banned. (once accessed after being banned)
2. The games saves will work along with the gamertag on the banned xbox regardless. Even moving it to a MU taking it to another xbox and seeing it as corrupt then moving it back to the banned xbox. It will still work. You can continue playing where you left off and everything.
3. You HDD is not physically damaged in any way or form what so ever. it will work on ANY xbox. Just your game saves and gamer tag will "appear" corrupt. Either you do the trick mentioned here (con flag remover) or you just reformat the drive on a xbox that isnt banned keeping in mind that once inserted into a banned xbox it will once again "appear" as corrupt if brought back to the xbox that isnt banned.
Hope this gives you and whoever else a better understanding.
