Well either you updated your HDD (swapped, xbl accounts don't copy), or someone deleted it.

To get it back, just goto xbox live in the dashboard. There is an "account recovery" selection.

yeah i tried that after clicking on account recovery and then putting in my gamer tag etc it comes up with "your account can not be used at this time. try again later".
dose this mean im banned from xbox live or what?

Unless you were using that account on another xbox online when you tried t update, then most likely, yes, you are probably banned.

Try again later though, because it may have been a temperary thing. Usually it won't connect to live to even give you an error.
