I have recently bought a wired Xbox 360 controller and it doesn't work when plugged into the PC, even though it shows up as 'Xbox 360 Controller for Windows' at the Devices and Printers screen.
The device status under Properties says
'The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)
There is not enough space on the disk.'
I have tried to update the drivers through the Properties screen and got the error message
'Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error while attempting to install it. There is not enough space on the disk.'
I have over 50GB in all the partitions of my HDD.
I have tried to download the drivers directly from Microsoft's site, the .exe gives this error message when clicked.
'This software version is already installed on this system, To re-install this software, you must remove it first, and then run Steup again from the installation media.'
I have tried to uninstall the driver named 'Microsoft Xbox 360 Accessories 1.2' in the Programs and Features screen. But I was given this error message
'An error occurred while writing installation information to disk. Check to make sure enough disk space is available.'
To put it simply, my controller isn't working, I can't update, remove or reinstall the drivers and the error messages indicated that I didn't have enough disk space even though I have over 50GB free in every partition of my HDD.
Anyone have any ideas?
