Cannot install HD content!
Hi, I know this game is pretty old but I still want to play this enjoyable game. So, the first problem that I encountered when installing the game is that it needs to install 1.6GB of HD content. ...

Seems like the game is the opinion you don't have an official Microsoft XBOX 360 harddrive.
it is already discussed here - when I understood it correctly that check came with an update:
If your internal and your external harddrive is really official, you should go and contact the EA Helpdesk, otherswise it seems it can't be helped to get an original drive because of bad decision of someone in charge of this change at EA.

BF4 seems to suffer the same fate. Found also an article about that issue.
Sorry to have no better solution for you atm.
Thank you for your reply.
I already read that post, which discussed the hard drive issue. Unfortunately, it didn't help at all with my problem and the most important link did not work (for me at least).
I will contact someone at the EA Helpdesk as I have no other way to fix it.
I heard that BF4 has the same issue. Such a same.
I am already happy that you replied to my post! :D
Hehe, sometime you have to enjoy the little things in life 😇
If the Helpdesk does not have an idea, did you already tried to reformat the HDD (only if you don't mind to loose the data on it or saved all your personal data). Maybe something in the filesystem, rootfolder is altered or corrupted in a way the game is mislead to think the external HDD to be a non-official drive?
I just don't know what is different from an official Microsoft Xbox HDD compared to a normal stock HDD. It can only be a thing of "pay extra money for the brand's name", if you ask me 😉
I will contact the Helpdesk first.
I was also confused when I could select a hard drive - it looked like the xbox did not recognize the external hard drive as a hard drive, but rather as a USB storage, which is really weird.
Maybe that could be the problem. The external hard drive I already reformatted it at least once now.
In addition, do you have any clue on how to solve the problem if really something in the filesystem is altered or corrupted?
