where to backup games to hdd

[XCronus]

i have my stock hd still in place, and at the time i dont have access to a dvd burner.....bleh all i have is a reader right now

what i want to do is ftp a game to my hd before i update to a larger one

what drive do i ftp the game contents too/what folder on the drive?

will E: work, as it has 4+ gigs free?
and once i do back this game up, how do i boot it from the hd?

yes e:\ will work for u but ur only gonna be able to backup like 1 game on there
just make a folder in E called GAMES and ftp ur games in that folder

how to i launch the game from there?

do i have to make it a quicklaunch path or something?

If you are using the original MS dash you will not be able to launch a game from your harddrive. You need to install another dash like Evox or Avalaunch.

If your using a dashboard... like avalaunch, or evox/UnleashX... just go into the games folder. Upload the files to e:\Games, then restart the xbox... and the game should be under "games" from the dashboard.

ok

thanks for the help.....
@ wingsbc - i realize that lil issue.....*whole point of a 'chip*

but, i was really wondering if a game could be launched w/o a dash by using quicklaunch

doesnt really matter as im using evox, but jw

the game can be quicklaunched, but you have to set it up in the X3 config live
