XBox 360 reports 2.9 GB HDD free but says no room to install game

My niece never had her Xbox 360 connected to the internet. She got Guitar Hero live today. Game needed a update. It froze/hung on wireless connection. Shut it all down connected cat 5. She had 1.1 GB free, went to install game, Xbox reports not enough storage
space.

1. Cleared Cache, no change

2. Formatted HD and now has 2.9 GB free, still get report that there is not enough room on the device.

The ONLY thing I can think of is that maybe there was a glitch when it froze on system update? Right now a empty HD and still get report the unit does not have enough storage space.

USB missing storage

Hi, I'm using a 16 GB usb memory device for storage, and even though I only have 4 GB in use currently, it says I only have 2.9 GB free. What is all that extra space being used by and how do I free it back up?

 

500 GB Hard Drive

Really?!?! I thought they said it went back to the same way the 360 is. Optional. Well if thats the case then I guess Ill stick with DD. There is really no difference now between Physical and DD if they have to be installed mandatory.

 

The other thing pointed out to me was that newer games require a larger HD so despite how much room you have the game won't install?

 

Is this an internal flash drive or an actual hard drive?

Some games require an actual hard drive & wont install on the internal flash drive.
