making backups

If I make a back up of my game on my xbox harddrive using dvd2xbox then ftp files to my cpu harddrive can I make an iso and burn that onto to a dvd that will be playable?

 

yes....make sure you create an iso of the game before you burn.

 

Make sure you use an xiso maker that uses GDFimage. I use ISOMAKERv1.21.

 

can I use craxtion or qwix?

 

I havn't tried either of them, but I think so.

GDFIMAGE is indeed the best, but it's hard to find. It's not necessary that you use it (other xiso programs are faster anyway).

 

True it is slow, but I have not had any problems with it. I was making coasters before I found it.

 

Any clues to helping me find it. Is it in "The Usual Places"? I've looked everywhere 5 different search engines and I don't know how many websites. Any clue would be helpful.

 

just use qwix or craxtion...both will work just fine.

 

here i found iso maker v1.21 : http://xbox-hq.com/html/download-file-114.html

 

I have it. PM me.

 

Thanx for all the help it's beeb working beautifully until I tried halo 2 it gets about half way through and i get an error saying the os denied acsess iso creation aborted. an ideas

 

Half way through what????

I had a problem with Halo 2. I ripped it, transferred it to my comp, built the iso, then burnt it. Everything went fine until I went to play it, it wouldnt play. It is just about the limit of a single layer DVD, I think that is my problem. I have to remove some of the unneeded files.

 

@ tomey

Is your filing system a FAT32 or NTFS? FAT32 and older filing systems are known to have some problems in the iso creation process.
