We have an Xbox 360 with a 4GB drive. Bought a game today that needs at least 2GB of free space to load. We don't have even close to that. I plugged in a 64GB external drive and tried to load it on that, but the game seems to only want to load onto the internal hard drive. What's the grassroot-iest solution to this problem?
In reply to dyintorace:
A laptop hard drive to put internally......they can be a bit cheaper than the Xbox branded ones. Just have to make sure they're compatible.
Sometimes a thumb drive can take the internal hard drive's place, but not always. I am guessing the game you're attempting to use says "Hard drive required for gameplay" on it.
This is why the least capable 360 I've ever purchased had a 60gb drive on it. (250gb currently)
Move your saved stuff to the thumb drive, then load the new game. not all thumb drives give you the full memory. it was a while ago, but I had a few that should have worked, but didn't. then bought one that worked right.
I bought a 250G hdd for $65. Mine's an external hdd though on my XBox.
Finally bought a new 360 (not used ones that keep failing). Had a 250 or 320GB internal HDD waiting that I found online for $50-60. Problem solved.

That doesn't always work though. If the game requires an internal hard drive, most of the time its specifically looking for that instead of the other options.
You can buy the XBox 250Gb hdd and plug it right in a 4Gb model, just like I did.
Thanks for the thoughts folks.
I used my pre-slim Xbox 360 hard drive (the one that snaps onto the side). I bought a Xbox 360 slim harddrive case on amazon. I think it was like $6 to purchase and have shipped to my house. Then I installed the old harddrive in the new case and it worked like a charm.

It took me all of 5 minutes to crack open the old case and install the hdd into the new one. But I do have some electronics screwdrivers with some bits, but I got them from Lowes or something locally.
