Check the tutorials for info on how to transfer games and play from the HD.  You can only fit a couple average size games on a stock HD.

alright... both questions have been answered many times before in these forums so you could have actually searched for it

however, I'm feeling a bit bored right now and will answer them... 't must be your lucky day  :P

how hard is it to upload a xbox game to your xbox and play it?

If by 'uploading a xbox game' you mean transfer it from an original to the internal hd, there's a program called dvd2xbox that makes this process a real piece-of-cake... If you mean transfer it from your pc to your xbox (how d'it get there?) you can use an ordinary FTP client like FlashFXP or a speciallised application like Craxtion or QWIX

and how many games can fit on a normal sized xbox HARD DRIVE?

A stock xbox hard drive typically contains about 4.5 to 5 Gb of free space (more or less the same size of a single layer DVD).  There's no real answer to your question because of the great differences in size xbox games can have.  For instance GTAIII is about 800Mb and Vice City is about 1300Mb.  So you could have them both installed on your hard drive and still have 2.5 Gb of available space for other games.  Ninja Gaiden otoh is about 6Gb and can't even fit on a stock xbox HD.  Face it, you're going to want to upgrade your HD for pure comfort  B)

this is getting fishy...

my guess is you illegally downloaded them :ph34r:

one should be wiser than to post something like that in these forums...
