    Xbox 360 S 250gb hard drive only showing 50gb


    I have an Xbox 360 slim with what is supposed to have a 250gb hard drive, but when I go into system and storage it says it only has 50gb total. I tried formatting and clearing the cache, and aside from this problem, the hard drive works normally. Any ideas
    what could be causing this?

    :)

    The hard drive your using is not an official xbox 360 hard drive. The only official hard drives available for the Xbox 360 S Console are the 250GB and the 320GB. These are the only drives which have the necessary software on them to play xbox originals

    You won't be able to play any original XBOX games with that current hard drive that you have. You will need to purchase an official 250GB hard drive or a 320GB hard drive from an official retailer (Microsoft Store, Amazon retail, Best Buy, Gamestop, etc).
    If you purchase something from eBay/Amazon Marketplace re-seller and it's quite cheap and not in official packaging it's likely that it's a knock off. Since Microsoft never released 120GB hard drives with their XBOX 360 S consoles it's not possible that, that
    specific console hard drive was ever official.

    So... I'm thinking about buying a 360.

    50GB hard drive? That cant be a legit one right? I thought they only come in quantities of 4GB and 250GB? Then, 20GB, 60GB ect.. on the original?

    Either way, with that aside, the 360 is a fantastic console. Very much worth the cost! :D

    There isn't an official 60gb hard drive for the 360s,only 250gb or 320 gb so that is probably the problem.

    Yes there is. It's available on the original fat xbox 360.

    Not for the S, the Slim console.

    For that one the only official hard drives are 250GB and 320GB.

    Smaller than 250 GB?

    The only official drives for the 360 S are the 250GB and 320GB accessory drives.



    There's no point to drives smaller than that given the price floor on drives effectively doubled after the floods in Thailand, moving from $40-$50 to $80-$90. The smallest new bare drive you can buy has a regular price of $79.99. At that price, anything
    from an 80GB to a 250GB 2.5" drive can be had, so there's no point to a "20-50GB" drive whatsoever.

    Can't play xbox game in xbox 360 4gb slim

    We can't help you sorry. The 360 S should only have a 250GB hard drive or 4GB of flash, it shouldn't have a 60GB hard drive. I suggest you buy a 250GB or you run the risk of a console ban. Sorry.
