Hi,

I am having problems with my Xbox HD, i can install game into my HD but it's only under 2GB. Can someone advise me whether i can increase the HD size??? i am not thinking of upgrading my HD, just want to know if there a way that i can install game over 4 GB into my Xbox HD. I heard someone said something about partition it but don't know how it work, by the way i am using the Slayer program!
Any help will be great! :)

there isn't much room on the original HD.. you really need to swap it out.. which is very simple and replace it with a bigger one.. i dunno what the story is with the nothing over 2 gigs.. unless the xbox comes formatted in FAT32 which doesn't recognize files over 4 gigs..

The xbox is partitioned into several pieces. C, D, E, F, ....... You cannot change the size of the partition for all I know.
