What answer did you get?

Just in case you got the wrong answer the answer is YES

When I first got my 360 I had both hooked into LIVE via my router.

Get a GOLD sub. activated on your 360. Set the auto-renewal to monthly. This places your CC on file with that GamerTag. Go and do Account Recovery on the original Xbox. This should work.

This may work even when you activate the FREE month of GOLD on the 360. I believe every new GamerTag gets 30 days FREE. Although, in order to recover it on the original Xbox there has to be a CC attached to that account -- which is why you would need to set the auto-renewal.

*Note: Before the GamerTag comes up for renewal, you can go buy a LIVE card elsewhere online or B&M (cheaper than the $7.99 renewal rate of the 360) and when you enter that code -- it wipes your CC info OFF that account.

GamerTags can co-exist on both systems at the same time -- although they cannot be logged-in simultaneously.
