can someone explain this

ok the FTPing i just have one question why is it that u cant just simply put the game in ur pc drive and drag the files if your reading the files from the xbox drive would it not be the same as reading the files from the pc drive can someone clear this up with perhaps an explination feel free to get tecnical im just confused with why its any diff seeing as both drives are dvd-rom drives and the files on the disc are just files thanks

 

That's where you're wrong. They're NOT the same DVD-Drives. Xbox DVD drives read the games "backwards," because Xbox games are made from the inside out, not outside in. This is why PC DVD drives can't read them, which was Microsoft's intent.

 

so in theory u could put an xbox drive in your computer and that would work is something liek that able to be done

 

Sorry, you couldn't, not even in theory. First, you would have to get drivers for it, which you can't get access to, unless you know someone that works in Microsoft engineering, and will configure your PC. So I wouldn't even bother wasting my time with it. PLUS, in order to read the disc, you would have to install a bios on your pc hdd to even read the disc. It really isn't worth all the trouble.

 

so its just easier ftping got ya very helpful thanks

 

hehe

Windows=FAT16/FAT32/NTFS file systems
Linux=FAT file system
XBOX=FATX file system

That is the reason my friend.

 

cool as u can tell im new to the xbox scene just had not seen a reason on why the ftping was needed everyone said it was needed but no reason why you guys were very helpful thanks
