    Once you've created a ftp connection to your xbox, insert a disk. Go to your PC, log on to your `box (the dash on your xbox should state your ip address), and open the "D:" drive. Transfer every file from that drive to your PC. You've just ripped a xbox game. Next you can choose to create an iso image (preferred), or to burn a UDF disk. I have been using UDF and have no problems.

    Open Nero, Create a data DVD using UDF. Use the usual drag and drop method when burning. Copy all the files and folders to the cd. Don't create a folder and then put the files in it.

    Force Xbox compatibility, then burn at 2.4x (or your burners' slowest speed) and you're set.

    Let us know if it works.

    messyXBOX, have you looked into an auto installer?
    they can reinstall everything on the Xbox and then some.
    Some will even back up your game saves for you so that you will not loose them.

    and as far as the FTP thing, yes that makes it sound very easy. But there is a bit more to it then that.
    You have to know HOW to set up the PC and Xbox before you can get
    them connected to each other. Which is why i linked you to all those great tutorials.
    After that you have to know how to set up your FTP program to communicate with the Xbox.

    after you have it where you can get a connection then it is very easy to copy a game.
    Get a program like Craxtion4 or Qwix which can rip the game from the Xbox and create the ISO file for you.
    Then all you have to do is burn the ISO by using "burn image" in Nero
