Thank you, I know about upgrading HDD and installing games on it, but I just want to keep a DVD copy of the games (but not just as ISO files, as directly executable discs, like if they were games you know), in case the HD screws up. Atm I'm waiting for the HD to arrive from ebay, so I've plenty of time to learn of to burn Xbox games properly. For example, if I download a game from a certain site (or from torrents), what file do I get ? What should I do in order to make that file into an executable game disc ? Will that file be a common ISO, so I have just to burn it as it is, or do I have to convert it/patch it, in order to make the XBOX read it correctly ? This is what I wanna know Unfortunely where I live a DVD costs around 0.35€, a dual layer is 2,50€. So I need to know a 100% secure way to burn properly, or it's a waste of money, you know...

Hello, just wanna know: how do I check if a certain ISO I have is XISO or normal ISO ? Once I know what kind of ISO it is, how to correctly burn it ? So far, I've burned some installers correctly like Slayer Installer 2.7 and Hexen 2018, on a DVD-R and they work well. But I'm not pretty sure, especially about Dual Layers, which cost a lot, so I don't want to fail the burning you know. Any proper advice answering my questions ? Thank you so much.
