Do you have anything on the harddrive? check the top of your hard drive, does it say 20 GB HDD? i think the launch ones only had like 12 or 14? but im not sure. check your hdd and see if theres anything on it like songs and stuff.

There is a lot of stuff preloaded on to an xbox, like demos you can play with, take those off and you should have your space left.

Even with all of the junk deleted, don't expect a 20 GB harddrive maybe around 14

Yes, that's normal. Some of the space is used for the filesystem (same with PC harddrive too) and some space is reserved for system relatited things like gameupdates and backward compatibility.
