I am not surprised, but at the same time I figured if an Xbox 360 can run without a HDD (Core) then why does the software it uses for itself take up so much space? I have never used a Core though, so I don't know how "dumbed-down" it is.</p> <p>Anyway, thanks guys. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/xbox-360-missing-hard-drive-space#post-44332 Wed, 27 Aug 2008 05:50:53 +0000 ScottW 44332@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>That's correct. The Xbox 360 reserves about 6 GB for it's own use and the preloaded videos and game demos take more. Out of the box, MS calls it 14 GB available:<br /> <a href='http://support.microsoft.com/kb/911593?sd=xbox'>http://support.microsoft.com/kb/911593?sd=xbox</a> </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/xbox-360-missing-hard-drive-space#post-44272 Tue, 26 Aug 2008 20:30:29 +0000 Budohorseman 44272@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Well you lose 1.4GB to marketing, the rest is probably the operating system. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/xbox-360-missing-hard-drive-space#post-44270 Tue, 26 Aug 2008 20:21:41 +0000 jmcguire 44270@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>I have an XBOX 360 pro, meaning supposedly 20 gigs of hard drive space. </p> <p>For some reason, my dashboard only finds about 11 gigs of available space. </p> <p>Any idea where the rest of my space is? </p>
