I HAVE to upload new 360 games for them to run?

We had a RRoD issue and sent it in to Microsoft. Prior to the ring, we never had any issues. Now when we want to play Rise of the Argonauts, Fable 2, and apparently Resident Evil 5, we have to rip the games to the hard drive before we can play them. If we don't, we get 30 seconds to 5 minutes in game before the game completely locks and the system has to be restarted. Fallout 3, Gears 2, and other games work fine.
This blows. My husband and I literally have to take turns on who is playing what during any given week because with a 20 gig HD we can only have 1 game ripped at a time due to downloaded games and save files.
Beyond getting a new hard drive/ shelling out cash for a new 360, is there anything we can do?
Also, I had been playing extra levels from Beautiful Katamari prior to the "repair" that were downloaded on his profile, and now I can't access any of my old save files and if I start a new game on either profile, I cannot save. WTF?
Any help is much appreciated.

Bring up the My Xbox channel and go to the system tab. Choose Memory, and hover over your hard drive. Hit Y for device options.
Now press X, X, LB, RB, X, X. You should get a prompt asking you to perform maintenance. Say yes.
You can compare this process to defragmenting your hard drive on a Windows PC, or clearing your temporary files. It can often get rid of freezing or performance issues - for example, it recently fixed a framerate issue I was having with Skate 2. The only downside to this is that all your game patches are deleted, but it'll prompt you to redownload them when you boot up the game next time.
For your Beautiful Katamari issue, I'd look for the other 360 thread that's here in H/A - that sounds like a rights management issue.
