When it's in an Xbox 360. That's because of the 20 gigs apparently only 13 is usable. Apparently the other 7 is used to emulate Nvidia's GPU (the graphics chip powering the first Xbox) and the x86 CPU found in the original Xbox. The current version uses an ATI GPU and PowerPC CPU.
In other words, they need 1/3 of your hard drive to allow for backwards compatibility so that old Xbox games will play on the new console. Way to go M$!!!
