My thought is that however the system is populating these partitions is faulty.
When the HDD is plugged back into my computer, the System Support partition has about 60GB used, and Temp Content has about 20. There is no disk in the drive and I’m unsure if the drive is related at all. This happens if the drive is disconnected as well. The system will beep and light up, but after a few seconds, the disk drive makes a small noise and the system shuts off.
I’ve been able to get the system to boot after formatting a new(good) HDD, however, whenever the console is meant to restart, it goes into what’s called partial power. I’ve been wrestling with a broken X that I got for $80 locally.
