Hey guys,

My little brother's birthday was on the 4th and he got GTA V. There is just one problem; he only has a 4GB Xbox 360. He told me it wasn't a problem because he was going to get what he was told to get my Microsoft, a $130 external hard drive. I, being a PC builder, told him that was crazy. I noticed there was a 2.5 inch hard drive bay on the side of the Xbox. So he went into Best buy and got a 500GB Seagate for $50. I walked him through putting it in and now it doesn't work. I'm heading over there later today and need some help. I don't know the restricting when it comes to Xbox 360 hard drives.

Please help guys! Thanks

P.S. I don't know if it would help, but I have a Kingston HyperX internal to external hard drive adapter

Microsoft prohibits the use of most non approved hard drives, that way people are forced to buy the more expensive versions with "larger" drives.
