    that's what most can't figure out, good job!
    D:\=dvdrom drive
    1.FTP the contents of D to your computer.(put it in a folder)
    2.Create an xiso with a iso creation tool like Craxtion or Qwix,etc.
    3.Burn to disc with your favorite software(Nero,Roxio,Dvd Decrypter, etc.) make sure your using the "burn as image" option.

    Or you can copy a game directly to your xbox hdd from the dvdrom using dvd2xbox.

    An alternative to that would be HDDLoader. Same capability, different program.

    If anyone out there is a programmer or something and needs money here is a money making idea!
    Make a program that does all this stuff for you, creating image and burning!
    Also if someone could put a xbox dvd drive in a pc so you coulod burn a game from you pc that would off the chains!!!!!
    I'd buy that any day i'd spend more on that than for an xbox360 (if i had that kind of money)

    It's been done...to death. The problem with the idea is that the drive is flashed with special firmware. This type of firmware is not supported in Windows or Macintosh, as the xbox has it's own OS system.

    After this comment...

    ...please tell me you don't want a sophisticated answer!

    I guess it would be different but your post are starting to make no sense or relation to the topic of the thread. You should go hang out in the "safety valve"

    Is the topic of the thread not how cool would an xbox's insides look in a NES case.

    Stick to the topic, THANKS.

    :(
    Well, when you transfer a game from your xbox to your pc, and the files are in iso form you have to make them xiso form right? so can i just rename the file (name).xiso because when i change the extension the type of file is changed, or do i have to use the program?

    When you transfer a game to your PC from the XBOX...you decide one of two formats. By using an FTP Client (Flash FXP) the game will be in the GAME/FOLDER format (that's the way the are stored in the xbox). If you use an xiso transfer program (i.e. Qwix) you can just create the iso on your PC via the transfer.

    If you have an xbox game in the iso format it's already in the right format and can be burned. People just know that a game as an iso is the right format and rarely refer to it as xiso or at least I don't. You just know if it's an xbox game iso that it's really (xiso). Make sense. In short, nothing has to be done to the .iso. if it's an xbox game, BURN IT AS IS.

    Hope that helps.

    Nah, don't say that. It's not about being dumb, it's about helping and passing it on...so now you've got one more tool under your belt.
