I know this probably isn't enough info to help, but maybe someone out there can give me a hand. Just picked up a soft-modded x-box w/ a 80 GB hard-drive. The soft mod is probably a bit out of date, the default skin is a blue-ish background, has the phoenix symbol pop up briefly before it loads. Anyways, I can load games fine off the hard-drive (there are 12 that can already loaded onto it) however, whenever I insert a DVD burned copy of the game (which works fine in my friends modded xbox [he seemed to have a newer softmod])....it loads the Xbox Media centre and tells me that the disc is unrecognizable, and makes me remove it before returning to the softmod menu. What should I do? And if I theres no way to load the burned games, can I put them on the hard-drive somehow? Edit: Upon further inspection; the applications I have are DVD-X2 Donlge DVD Player Px HDD Loader Xbox Media Player When I try to load games from the burned DVD using the HDD Loader, it scans the DVDs and says they are 0.00GB in size...yet these same DVDs are being recognized on my friends soft-modded xbox. Original games work fine.
i have no idea why the burnt games wouldn't be working, but if you want to copy them to the hdd use a program called DVD2Xbox
Could you give me step by step instructions chunkhead, pretend you're talking to an infant, because I'm pretty electronically daft.
