Xbox Hard Drive
Discussion
With Forza 3 sat at home waiting for me I guess it is time I invested in a hard drive (I have the arcade system with pitiful storage space).
Anyone on here know
a) how much I will likely need to install and sensibly use Forza 3 including DLC?
b) any good offers on hard drives at the moment?
Cheers
Jimmy

If you just have the standard Arcade unit with no HDD, you won't be able to play the game as you need to install the second disc in order to play.....and it's 1.9 gigAnyone on here know

Do I take it then, that Disc 2 (Content) needs to be installed first, and then Disc 1 to play the game? Ideally i'd like to install both to hard disk so it can boot straight from there.
I'm keen to get out of work now so I can go home and play it!
That's what I did Cypher, installed disc 2, then came out of the game and installede the whole thing, as i don't fancy wrecking another Forza disk for extended play!!I'm keen to get out of work now so I can go home and play it!

No, it's got a specific way of doing things, install disc 1 to your hard drive as normal, then start the game, it will ask you if you want to install disc 2 and then run through doing that by swapping the discs. If you install Disc 2 before it asks you to you'll have to install it all over again as it won't recognise it.I'm keen to get out of work now so I can go home and play it!

I`ve had the arcade for over a year & recently aquired a HD. I must say the extra memory & various full replays available after races have been a revelation. I spent a few hours going back through my back catalogue of games just to see what I was missing. Forza 2, Colin Mcrae rallying..(The slow motion Audi S1 up Pikes Peak was sublime...)Anyone on here know
