Installed games from disc ?

[BurtonBenson]

I had to exchange my 360S due to a fault. The shop assistant let me keep the HDD because I had over 14 games installed and I didn't want to have to reinstall the discs again but when I try to play the games on my new 360S with the original 360S HDD, the games are still running from the disc drive and not the HDD. I am having to delete the game and reinstall.
Is there anyway around this?

No. The X60 game installs from disc seem to be married to your Console ID if its connected as the primary hdd and not via USB, so you'll have to reinstall them. Since you have a new console, you have a new ID, so need to reinstall disc based games.

Which is how it should be. Otherwise people could install games onto HDD and then sell that HDD on for hassle-free piracy.

Well, the X360 still requires the disc to be in the optical drive when installed from disc. The program just loads from hdd not optical. So its not genuinely required for optical based installs, but it seems to be a secondary check.

Multiple security checks to hamper piracy. Plus a disk check isn't applicable to DD games.
