if it's a game that has a file that is too long in the name...just try another application to copy the files over. I think the newer dvd2xbox versions have fixed the name length issue. If it's a video file or something to that effect,just rename it to a shorter name and ftp it over.

I think that may be a bit over my head but is there another application within the Xbox (evo x) or do I need to get a updated version of evo x

Cheers

I never put toca on my hard drive myself...I put it right to disk. I'll try it right now to see if it goes.

I'd say try patching the game with craxtion or quix.....but if you used dvd2xbox it patches it when you copy the game....so I'm not too sure.
