    Have you tried to free up space on the Xbox?

    Bring up the Dashboard (by pressing the Xbox logo on the pad) and go left to games. See if there are any demos or save files that you can delete to free up space. Same with videos\music.

    If it's second hand there might be stuff left over from the previous owner.

    Do you know what the max size of the hard drive is?
