    Formatted Hard Drive, 101GB free. Says there is not enough storage for 109MB update


    I have been playing on a refurbished xbox 360. I just got an ethernet cord to connect it to xbox live. When I go to Xbox live this message appears:

    A system update is available from Xbox live. If you decline, you won't be able to connect to XBox live until you tale the update.

    So push okay to update it. It tells be I do not have enough storage space to take this update I need a storage device with at least 190MB of free space.

    I go to settings and check my hard drive. It says I have 101GB free. The hard drive is formatted to FAT32, and I have been using it to store my game progress. I do not believe it has an internal hard drive.

    Any suggestions?!

    :)

    XBOX One Media Player

    I have a 2 TB external hard drive from Seagate that I use for video file storage. When I plug the drive into the console it is recognized and it says at the bottom "external storage device detected; hold X to launch". When I hold the home button it launches
    the media player but then the media player says "no storage device detected". Is there a size restriction for media player that is causing my hard drive not to be recognized?

    Ps: the drive is formatted FAT32

    Formatted Hard Drive, 101GB free. Says there is not enough storage for 109MB update

    Sorry to hear it. Which type of console is it? The older FAT or the S or E console? If it's the S or E it will have an internal drive. If it's an older FAT console then it doesn't.

    Have you tried disconnecting the drive that you have to see if the console will update without it?

    XBox 360: Unable to update by any method, download profiles, or play games; plus corrupt characters.

    Do you have a hard drive attached to your Xbox 360? Try updating without the hard drive connected.

    If you don't have internal flash storage available, connect a USB drive (2GB+?) and format it. The update will need some free storage space to install.

    I have used two brand new drives (after formatting) with the same results. Also, I did try updating without any drive installed at all. Since it's an S, not an E, there's no internal storage. I tried using just a USB stick (formatted with the Xbox) and it
    will not allow an update without "Xbox storage" or something. Anyway, the drives are empty, so that's not it. No external drives, either.

    Thanks again for trying. I am resigned to the fact that this box is dead. :-(

    Can't install new mcc update

    Hi

    Sounds to me like you have an external hard drive, but the game is located on a drive without enough storage for the update.

    Solution: Move Halo MCC to the drive with the free space. When it's done you can apply the update.

    Not enough storage even though game is installed

    Hi,

    Note that game updates can only be installed on the drive where the game is, they can't go to other drives.

    For example, game is installed on internal hard drive where there is only 5GB free but update is 6GB+. The game can't be updated because there isn't enough storage, even though there is plenty of free storage on external drive/s.

    Solution, move this game or other games to the other drive. Update can now be applied.
