Hey guys, apologies in advance if this has been answered before, but I couldn't find anything when looking around.

My first 360 got banned during the banwave, but when I went to check whether I'd been banned, I took my HDD off the console before going online cos I'd herd MS corrupt your drive or something? Anyway, so I got banned, bought a new console and carried on using my HDD from the old system on the new one. What I wanted to know was, now that my console has been banned and is offline, can I use the HDD back and forth between the banned console and legit one without the worry of it being corrupted?

I still have quite a few "backed up" games that I was halfway through, and the save files are still on my HDD. Wanted to go back and finish them. Thanks for the help.

Ah damn, really? Cos I read somewhere that MS can only corrupt your hard drive if it's plugged in when they ban your console, but I disconnected mine when I went online to see if I'd been hit with the ban.

when you connect your HDD to your banned console, it will corrupt the game saves
