Now it says that my Gamertag with my Windows Live ID. My really gamertag is Beauboy93 and I want it to be that for bunige.
Also In the top left hand corner it says im chief001??? Can anyone please help me.

The Chief0001 is the name you chose as your B.net member name (You post as that name). Your Gamertag section was supposed to be your real Gamertag (Beauboy93). Mainly I suggest PMing a Ninja, they will give you some options, I.e. making a new account or destroying your Windows Live Id (I'm not to sure about the latter). So mainly, PM a Ninja, they'll tell you what to do.

Trying something once will increace your chances of success, because you tried it. Try someting twice, and your chances increase yet again - seeing as you've done it. Try something a few thousand times, and your chances of success is exponentially increased; this increase would likely provide success every time

As for your gamertag. Make a throw away Windows Live ID, one that you will never use. Go into Account management for the gamertag 'Spartanlasr' and change the email to the email of the throw away account. Then go into Account Management for 'Beauboy93' and change the email to the email of the account you are using on here. As for your name, Slayer hit that one right on the head.

Well, that's all in a nutshell there.....

Ok. This is no problem at all. Basically what happened is that you created a Bungie.net user name "Chief001" and when you signed into Xbox.com to link your gamertag you entered "Spartanlasr" and because it wasn't taken, it automatically created a Xbox Live Silver account.

I looked at your gamertag, Beauboy93, at this page here and it shows that it is linked to the Bungie.net user name "Crimson993" and this account was created today, 07/16/2007. What you have done is created two Bungie.net accounts linked to two different Xbox Live gamertags, one silver and one gold. You may not switch them because it is impossible to unlink your gamertag and impossible to change your Bungie.net Display Name.

Obviously you know your email address and password for "Chief001" because you posted with it. You need to find a way to log into your "Crimson993" account which has Beauboy93 already linked to it. You have to try to remember your email address and password that you would use to sign into Xbox.com with and look up your stats, achievements, ect... If you can do that, just sign into Bungie.net using the exact same information. It shouldn't be too hard considering that you signed into the account today, besides the fact that you created the account today as well.

If you can't remember your Windows Live ID information to access your account, try to remember what email accounts you recently created or go here to recover your account. I believe it is also possible to view your email address by signing into Xbox Live via the Xbox 360 dashboard with Beauboy93 and then going to Account Information. Once there select edit information and it should have the email address highlighted already asking you for your password. So even if you don't know the password you can find out the email address and then go to the Windows Live ID website and select that you forgot your password. It will then take you through a process so you can then access your account once again. Post back here if you are having trouble or have any other questions.

It is talking about the Windows Live ID connected to your gamertag, if I am not mistaken. In other words, the email you entered when you created an Xbox Live account.

On a side helpful note: Try not to use existing threads for new problems. Especially when you just created one ;)
