    Installing new hard drive

    so i bought a 320 gig hard drive for my xbox and when i plug it in it says it has no available space? I couldnt really find anything on google about a procedure for installing a new hard drive? I thought it would of been a simple swap? Let me know if i am missing something please.

    Is this a brand new hard drive or is it a pre-owned one? and silly question but you sure it has nothing on it all ready taking up the space?

    what Xbox 360 console do you have? I'm assuming that the 320 GIG HD is from a limited edition console? they may not be compatible together

    Are you from the US yourself? As I have heard that the consoles have minor differences in HD's and game read data, I don't know how true this is, but its just a theory.

    when i first install it; my xbox says i have to download the new update to my hard drive. when i click ok it says it doesnt have enough recommended space of like 178mb but when i try to cancel the install it then says i have no hard drive in place.

    it defiantly sounds like you have a faulty HD, and its not recognizing the space avalable
