You CAN'T open the .iso once you've created it (at least not with WinRAR). You'll have to use a program that will let you view/extract it, like Craxtion.

Don't worry. 9/10 it's perfectly fine.

Hey bobbyfree...I fortunately downloaded Ninja Gaiden off a torrent site and works awesome...but I ran into that same prob with Splinter Cell Chaos Theory...When I backed up a copy of my original the files were like over 5 gig's. I tried to look where I could trimm the fat so-to-speak and deleted all the PAL vids..which I cannot view anyway..that put me a sliver over the mark when I tried to create the .iso. BUT the prog I use for making my .iso's has a check box to Automatically cross-link identical files...when I used that it saved me even more room ..now I can enjoy my newly burnt copy if I ever lose or break my original. Hope that helps ya.

Well failer after failer with frustration trying to get past step 4 MAKING an xISO in Quad's detailed (yes i have ALL the hardware & ALL the software) instructions has lead me to ask: Please at this point TREAT me like a know nothing child and give me step by step instructions regarding STEP 4: Making an xISO. From installing GDFIMAGE and the GUI to converting the files. I hate to sound like a dumby but thats where i'm at now. If not; Anybody know where I can find good quality backed up games???
Thanks

Im at work now...but here are the quik and dirty specifics....
>>ftp to the xbox...
>>create a folder on the pc c:\xbox (for example)
>>simply drag the "entire" contents of the xbox "/D " drive to c:\xbox
assuming there is a game in the dvdrom drive...there is really no need to extract to the xbox hdd...
depending on the size this will take some minutes...
>>open quix +++I've always had success with this+++
>>browse for local folder and point to c:\xbox
>>click on ..create iso
>>choose save location and give a name ie xbox.iso
...done

Paco:

I'm failing to understand your exact problem. Do you have a problem with GDFIMAGE & the GUI, or is it that it won't let you make an xISO on your computer?

Quad,
GDFIMAGE with GUI just for some dam reason wont work for me on my PC. I even had BOBBYFREE on line with me trying to get it to work.
Even he couldnt understand why it wouldnt work for me, BUT he gave me a program that ROCKS... It makes xISO's in a snap and i cant be more satisfied. A BIG SHOUT OUT TO BOBBY, Thanks... Thank you quad for all youve given...On a lighter note.. Im trying to backup Unreal Championship 2. I deleated what needed to be deleated but after 6 dvd caosters I still get the same message on my xbox when i go to play it " THE DISC IS DAMAGED OR DIRTY" Also backingup Splinter cell: Chaos Theory. What can I deleat so it could fit on to dvd?

depending on your region delete the vids..
if your in the PAL delete the video folder then create iso
if you in the nstc delete the videopal folder then create the iso
i needed a little more or should i say less room when i backed mine up
i used quix and had to chek the box for linkin identical files...
iso fit like a glove

Hi, i downloaded an xbox game from thepiratebay.org, is it .iso??
what are iso files?
does dvd wizard pro works for burning xbox games without a modded xbox?
if its an iso i just need to burn it? they told me i needed to give it some format, like whith qwix?
what should i need to do if i downloaded it from there?

Hi im new to modding xboxes
Im a little confused about something
I just bought a DuoX 2 White Flashbios Ed. and it suposed to be preprogrammed with the latest Linux BIOS including Flashroutine.
So does that mean I already have everything i need flashed
or do I have to flash it myself and install a dashboard myself.

Any help would be apreciated.
Thx, Danny

Are you trying to FTP using your router or doing a direct connection?

If you made it with Qwix or any xISO program than it is, indeed, an xISO. And what exactly do you mean that you don't have any installed bios? You haven't flashed your xbox yet?
