Folks, thanks for all the interesting reading. One thing I am confused about, and apologies for the possibly lame question...
As I read it, an ISO file is effectively an "archived" version of the original game which is now burnt to a DVD as an XBox ISO file, and cannot actually be played as such on a modded Xbox. Is this understanding correct ?
If so, is there a way to create a backed up copy of an XBox game on a 4.7Gig DVD that is playable off that DVD on a chip modded XBox ?
thanks in advance.

The ISO file is an image file that contains all the folders
from the game within it. If you burn the ISO file to a DVD then it will play in the Xbox. It will not play if you try to transfer the ISO to your HDD.
For that you will need the folders inside of the ISO.
You get a program like Qwix or Craxtion4, load up (open) the ISO
and tell it to transfer it to your HDD. then it should play. Or transfer it to a folder on your PC, then transfer that folder from your PC via your favorite FTP program to your Xbox HDD. The second way is just a few extra steps but should have the same results.
Once you have transfered the files over into your game folder (mine is in the F: section) then reboot the Xbox and it should show up when you go to load games from HDD option.
From what i hear there is a program out there that you can install on your Xbox to allow it to play ISO files off of the HDD if you feel like searching or asking for that.

Thanks for the reply.

Ok I understand the ISO concept thanks. However what I am missing is - how to burn the ISO to a DVD so it can be read by the XBox.
I have tried using Nero to burn using two different options DVD-ROM(ISO) and DVD-ROM(UDF/ISO) but neither of these were read on the Xbox using the Evox chip.
thanks

have you tried DVD Decrypter, i use that all the time and burn
the ISO and it works fine.
I think Nero may have a setting to force it to Xbox mode or something. But i never use mine for games.
Have you tried the image burning DVD option?
the one that looks like a discs with a match on fire?
If i get a chance i will try Nero tonight and see if i can find
the Xbox option for you, or see if the image burning option works.
But i know 100% that DVD Decrypter has worked for me every time.
Also the media may be causing the problem. I usually use
Philips DVD-R 8X DVD's. Once i tried a printable TDK 8X +R
and the Xbox just said the disc was unknown. Burned it again to
my normal media and it worked just fine.
but to answer your qustion, you just burn the ISO to DVD and the
Xbox should have no problems reading it. You just can't transfer the ISO to your HDD, that will not work. On the HDD you need to have the folder with all the game files instead of the ISO

I apologise for this reply but im really confuse andi cantseem to figure it out. I've read and visited the site that PimpDawg has posted "How To FTP Into Your Xbox". I've decided to go with "How to FTP to your Xbox Dashboard using a Crossover Cable" not with the router. I've followed everything that was written on the page but when i use FLASHFTP and connect it won't connect. So pleaseif anyone can help me, let me know. Thank You.

Here is my problem, and i think this will help a lot of people. I dowload games via torrent (bitlord) to make back-ups. Once the game is done dowloading it is usually in a series of Rar files, say 1-12 or something. So I use WinRAR to decompress them by clicking on #1, it then makes a new folder with the decompressed file in it (sniper elite for example), inside the folder is where my problem begins. It will be sniper elite but look like a stack of books (rar) even though it is an iso file (it's description says blahblah.iso, yet it is rarified. ignoring this i tried to burn (using nero) clicking on burn image to cd/dvd, and in the end the Dvd is 'unknown' and doesn't show any files on it. I believe the problem is that the decompressed file must be represented as an iso and not rar...is that correct? if so, how do i get rid of the rar status during decomprssion? Should the final file to be burned look like the stack of books or someting else? Thanks in advance...ps i've read everything and can't find an answer
