I just bought an Elite a couple of days ago. Without thinking about it I recovered my gamertag to the new hard drive. Then after I did that I called MS and they are sending me a transfer cable to switch out data from the 20 to the 120 hard drive. So in the meantime I wanted to play Bioshock, so I started playing on the 20 GB hard drive. Now it says my Live account isn't valid, I am guessing because of the gamertag recover. My question is can I re-recover my gamertag to the 20 GB hard drive? And if I can will it hurt me using the 120 hard drive when the cable comes in the mail?

They aren't open right now. I was wanting to play Bioshock right now that is why I asked in here.

I think I know where I went wrong. I think I shouldn't have did the gamertag recover on the 120 GB hard drive and just waited for the cable, I guess I was just overly excited about getting the Elite and wasn't thinking straight. So far I am almost done re-recovering my gamertag back to the 20 GB hard drive. I just hope that anything I have done so far won't mess with me transferring my data to the 120 GB hard drive.
