Downloaded games from the net and cannot get them to work on x box.
Xbox uses xecutter 2
I have run the downloaded files through qwix with no results, using nero 6 to burn files.
Got to be something simple that I'm doing wrong as I've done it before and its worked but not this time

STEP 1 : EXTRACT THE RAR FILE USING WinRAR

STEP 2: YOU NOW HAVE AN ISO IMAGE DRAG IT TO Nero AND BURN TO DVD-R DISKS (MAKE SURE U USE GOOD DISKS EG RIDISK OR DATAWRITE SEEM TO WORK BEST OTHERWISE IT WILL READ AS A DIRTY DISK!)IF YOU HAVE PROBLEMS WITH Nero DOWNLOAD RECORD NOW.

YOU SHOULD NOW HAVE YOUR GAME FULLY WORKING.
DONT BOTHER USING QWIX ITS TO MUCH HASSLE TRANSFERING IT TO YOUR HARDRIVE ON THE XBOX.

once you extract the ISO with WinRAR, and i am sure there are
plenty of post here that will tell you how to do that,
you take the ISO and either burn it to disc or use Qwix or
Craxtion4 to FTP them to your HDD
or if you have it you can take the disc you burned and use
DVD2Xbox to copy from the disc to HDD on the Xbox strait from the Xbox DVD drive

try using a different brand of media...also try DVD-R, they tend to work better...you can also try burning at a slower speed, i keep mine at 4x and 2x speed wise.

also, the brand of dvd drive in the xbox can play a factor as well...they are very picky drives...samsung can read pretty much anything...phillips does ok but not all media works...and thompson, well the thompson drives basically suck, don't read hardly any burnt media.

it is basically trial and error until you find media your xbox likes.

Ive used datawrite before and they worked but these maxell disks were all I could get at the time.
I always try and record my disks at 2x
