    If you're trying to use Cds on your xbox, they will probably have to be CD-RWs. If you want to use DvDs, usually -Rs will work fine. If you're having trouble with them, try a different brand.

    The average xbox factory hard drive is 8-10GB. You should be able to get 1 game on the hdd but it will of course depend on it's size (i.e. Halo might be difficult). I did post a tutorial on how to free up some extra space which may help you in that area. Here: http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/222553. Yes, you can transfer that game from your Xbox to PC and continue on to back it up with your PC.

    What FTP program are you using? What speeds do you normally transfer at?
