Backing up any game to HDD XBOX FREEZES!!!

Hi I am just getting started into modding xboxs and am trying to learn all i can. Heres my Problem. i am using a 1.1 xbox with evo as a dash, i am copying games to a 80gb seagate hardrive using dvd2xbox. they copy fine but when i try to play them they freeze. Forza freezes at profile loading screen. madden 06 wont even show intro. Ghost recon 2 freezes at press start screen someone please help. Am i using the wrong bios or is there any way to fragment a xbox hdd. Thanks

 

I'm having the same problem. I installed a 200gb hdd. Whats the problem??

 

what kind of mods do you guys have?

 

You can always try FTPing or using your file explorrer and find all your CACHE folders and clear them out. Delete all the files in them. And also check your game saves and if they have any with the games your having trouble with delte them.

 

Yer, clearing Cache is good to do once-in-a-while. Empty the following folders,

E;/Cache
X
Y
Z
only the things inside the folders.

 

Woooah...hold on there!...How are you putting these games on the drive...Originals need to be put on with the hdd loader ( not dvd2xbox) or the media check in the xbe stays intact!!!Backups you can just ftp cos the media check is already removed..Then if that don't do it look in evox settings and turn off ALL instances of "in game reset" IGR..and set game region to default or auto (try both)...

Read somewhere that Madden 06 got some copy issues..maybe needs a HDD patch..

 

"Woooah...hold on there!...How are you putting these games on the drive...Originals need to be put on with the hdd loader ( not dvd2xbox)"

not true, i have done all mine with DVD2Xbox and they all
worked fine.

 

The newer versions of DVD2XBOX remove the media flag. However, this doesn't seem like a dashboard issue. HOWEVER, go into your settings and change your region code settings from AUTO to PAL or NTSC (whichever one you're in). Also, look in E:/Cache and see if you have any files in there. If so, delete them. Look in X, Y, and Z folders as well and if any files are there, delete them too.

EDIT: Looks like I've been beaten to it

 

people I have a mod on my xbox ok. well my question is how do you put files on your xbox. do you need a cable? A Sofware? well if you need a sofware, how are you going to to get the file on the xbox. I want to find out how to put files on my xbox because i want to download games on my xbox. O yeah by the way while your answering that question i have other one. Where get the files to download the games. what I mean for example i wanted to download halo 2, where should i go to download the halo2 file?

 

@bobromin

Edit your frikin post and take out the long (HELPPPPPPPPPP) crap you typed. It is messing up the page. Also type in lower case. All Caps means your yelling.

Once you do that then maybe we will help you with your question!!!!!

 

Thanks for all of the info. I know there was probally already a trhead about it but i couldnt find. I used the newest version of dvd2xbox from xbox-tribe and it will do regular games fine. After i cleared all my cache from x,y,and z madden worked and forza is fine to and they are both bought games. so i do know that you can use dvd2xbox to copy bought games if you have the newer version. thnks again to everyone lots of help.

 

Clearing the Cache worked. But I have San Anderas and it will not play from hard drive. Can anyone help?

 

@Joshua

In your settings change the region setting to AUTO. worked for me awhile back.

 

Clear the "cache" folder in drive "E", also clear drives x,y,and z. I have san adreas on my hardrive and it plays perfect if you keep thos folders clean. Once those folders start collecting stuff alot of my games wont play. Keeping them Clean should help.

 

I need to mess with san andreas every time I load it...And I updated my dvd2xbox this weekend...(didn't know I was out of date!)

 

how would i go about deleting the cache folders? will i need to ftp to my puter to do this?

thanks

@addicted2

You dont delete the CACHE folders you delete the files that are in the CACHE folder.

You do this by either FTP to your Xbox or by using your dashboard file manager to do it.

 

hey larrylje..thanks i figured it out on how to delete the cache files and now things seem to work smooth as glass..

later

I meant to delete the cache files and not the folder. I think i said "clear the cache folder" not delete it. Read A little closer!
