you cant use a hdd from you xbox directly it uses a totally different formatting. your PC will use either fat32 or NTFS.... and the xbox uses FATX.... anyway why in the hell would you want to add such small 8gb hdd... its not worth the hassle of formatting a fatx drive as opposed to going out and buying a cheap 120GB on sale.....

If there are no more room in your PC, try to use 3.5" external enclosure. And it is very simple to format any hard drive and is very convient too.

THE RETURN is right get an external HDD. Also what I suggest is also buy a copy of Ghost v9 or v10. It has a feature where you can "Upgrade" to a larger hard drive (being the external 3.5). Once done you can simply replace the internal C drive with the new large external drive.

If you want, at a later stage buy another large hard drive, fit it in the external case and use it to backup your internal drive.

Hope this helps
