    To put files on the ar memory card using the software they need to be in rar format..

    Try leaving your card in the xbox pad and then rebooting.. when it restarts it should format the card if that's what it needs.

    i went down and brought a new memory stick *this now makes 3 have tried mp3 player and camera also same result

    i made a memory stick witch goes straight into the xbox * not threw the controller
    * and also went down and brought a standard xbox memory card game saves do not show in that ither * when select copy in memory option ...

    i have followed the online guides over and over again
    * my saves are in rar format i can transfer into the middle section *pc and it shows there as linux installer so all good there i think

    its just that my self made memory stick *i have changed all the yyy and zzzz ect and updated ect

    just when i plug my card in it flashers green then cuts out

    *there are no action replay units i can find at local stores

    my card is reconised by my xbox as a memory unit and i have pluged into the standard xbox to format prior

    i even ftp the game saves into my modded xbox and tried to copy to my memory stick *and also standard xbox 8mb memory card

    they didnt show up

    this is doing my head in have spent a week straight sitting here
    *falling asleep on my chair at times * im sure im not the only 1.......

    is it possibly just my memory card .....
    the 1st 2 i brought showed up as damaged
    the next 2 are reconised by xbox

    any one that can help i would almost hug you if i could

    *also my mechassult has to be back in 2 days hehe

    i have just noticed also that when transfering game saves
    from my modded xbox into my standard xbox memory card 8mb
    they do not show when going to memory game saves
    and look in memory device *fatx it sez

    altho when i go to file manager *in the modded xbox the game saves show

    my thinking was that datelinfo.xbx may have been needed so i ftp the save with the date linfo file in the correct place and retried to save to my memory card *still no good

    my *made flash drive xbox memory card does exackly the same thing

    so now i no the memory device i made must wrk *altho still does not show up in action replay
    all so very very frustrating
    is it something about the signature of the modded xbox is not compatable with the memory stick

    *i have followed advice above to no avail thanking you very muchly for your input

    if any one need help right now its me lol *owltch my head what havent i learnt to do yet ,,,

    Never seen these things which plug straight in.. can't help with them.. sorry :(

    The ones you have that work are the ones that plug in the pads yea? and your pad is a genuine not a madcatz or something??

    FTP the save folders across to your modded xbox.. then transfer them to the memory card using the standard M$ dash.. swap the pad to your other xbox and reverse the procedure.. it should be as simple as that. I did exactly that last week on a crystal 1.6

    a ha that was my problem i managed to return the modded box to the standard dash and then the saves showed on my made memory stick and standard controller card
    there are a heap of threads how to make a memory stick
    altho the logo in ar kept flashing so i give up on that keept reading and learnt to ftp the save straight into my udata folder on my modded box and was sure to delete all prievious game saves

    heres what happened next *it was 5am when i figured out how to return to the standard dash and save

    well i got an mechauto installer threw xbins
    and went into my game and pressed linux ect ect
    and well it wrked but in fricken german ....
    unable to read what to bluddy do

    at this point i had ftp access altho this took a wile as i didnt realise the ip was 0.7 as im used to 0.1 or o.3
    i thort i mose well ftp a new mechassult sve exsploit....deleting the old save in the prossess ....bad move

    when i tried to load my new linux the rings of death and now error 21

    i am able to load the game but ive got no wrking saves loaded anymore
    so yip im f####d

    learning how to hot swap at the mo

    and starting to dread saying to my mate that i could *thort i had learnt enought to do it ...... stressfulll so much so ive spent a coupleof 3am 4am 5am 6am bed times trying to get this sorted..

    ive copied the hole f and c folders off my modded xbox

    so nw im gunna go hot swap *i the morn better make sure im confiden 1st and hope by deleting the f and c folders and replacing them will solve my problem if ar does not reconise your memory card dont bother spending a few days trying to find out y just ftp straight into udata

    i never thort i would have the time or patience for this but the futherim digging the more interested im becoming

    just wish it was my xbox im killing rather than a friends

    hope i havent bitten moe off than i can chew asim a total newbie to xbox modding and computers for that matter hehe

    (mind all my spelling issues** hehe

    thanks in advance

    Error21 shouldn't be too fatal. Try the hotswap procedure (lots of guides.. check chunkheads tutorials).. unpulg dvd drive and wait for error12.. the hdd should then be unlocked and ready to swap and work with.

    BTW.. my splinter cell exploit is in Flemish.. wow.. not fun. ;)

    Don't panic.. it's still fixable quite easily.

    cool thanks

    do u ean the xbox dvd drive or the comp??

    i puled my comp open lastnight its an old grandma desktop im gunna use

    i figgured i pull the floopy disk drive cord out and thats what i use into my xbox as ison a separate line than the comp hard drive ....s this correct?

    im just sending all my modded xbox saved folders to the desktop via my mp3 player a slow process but would have taken a centry burning onto disk ill have that all sorted and be prepared for open heart surgery tonight

    just to check i guess i dont have to quix these files b4 sending to the xbox havent heard ya have to do that anywere but i hort i would check as thats what i had to do to my emulators b4 ftping

    i hope all this wrks

    so when i replace c e and f (am i able to completly back up and remove all contents from un modded xbox duing hot swop ??
    i just want to deletethe corrupted files and replace i can do this right?

    also my folders are
    c

    e
    y
    z
    or something are the y and z really f and q?
