Seems like an unnecessarily complicated way of getting games to work on a Xbox.
Rather than messing around with FTPing ISOs direct to the console why not extract them on PC using Qwix or C-Xbox Tool and then FTP them? The extraction usually takes very little time and with the actual files now available you can edit out the dashupdater and any other unwanted stuff too which should reduce the FTP time.
im not ftping them they are already the xbox drive in iso format , its bout sixty games i would like the quickest method

so i finally got the unlock from my OG XB hard drive i ported all my files over and i dont see any games i had in ISO format , if i FTP i can see them in my games folder ... i used the rocky 5 softmod on my new XB ,so did i do something wrong ??

I would fit a Open Xenium modchip and then you can format C and E drives using the modchip's built in HDD tools then FTP the Xbox OS to C:Drive using the modchip's network interface, once that's done then FTP the rest of the stuff you want on the HDD once the Xbox can run on it's own and no DVD needed or look in to using a PC to copy the required files to the Xbox hard drive providing you have the HDD Key from the EEprom to unlock it.
Last but not least find a working Xbox DVD drive

Soft modding is like masturbating, It get's the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.
i already tried that with both of modded xbox's , then re-build to a stock 5960 , no matter what i do the HD drive i pop is always black whrn i power it on or has unleash x and any app i use turns me to a black screen ..even used a xboxhdm and i get the same result .
@KaosEngineer is it possible to just use the pc drive? i read in another forum someone used a standard dvd in an xbox and crediting to you a guide he use to loop and ground the dvd power cable so that a regular dvd drive could be used in its place

i tried that when i did it the back will not boot

To install a softmod, the DVD drive has to be able to read ORIGINAL game disks. There's an xbox8164adapter.zip file on the Internet that is the flashing tool with modified firmware to allow the LG-8164B to read original Xbox games. Or, at least, that's what it is supposed to be.
the softmod didnt finish , it rebooted to finish the final step when the drive died , for the most part my softmod is working , i have SID with unleash x on it , i hate that dash and want uix , its been a good 10 years since i have done this and completely have forgotten how i setup sid with UIX in the 1st place with the SID. i keep reading that ndure is the new way to go but i kept having issues installing it , as it goes black every time i try to install it( i think it failed do to dvd drives)... i figured since the drive completely took a dump , i could get away with just a drive that can just read the disc

i got it working thanks !!

Which softmod did you use to mod the console?
Does UIX even have an FTP server to upload new content to the Xbox's hard drive?
I've not used it in a long, long time and have a hard enough time remembering what I did yesterday.
yes it does , i also have avalaunch installed as an app

I literally lost 4 xbox dvd drives this week(cant seem to fix any of them following guides i have been reading ) , and have been reading that a lg 8164b can be used as a replacement. i really dont care if can play OG games i just need it to finish my softmod .
So my question is , will i need to make any modification to use this drive or will it work just plug-in it in the IDE and using a power splitter ?
anyone ?

lol i figured out what you meant last night , after i re-read it ....TY ! work like a charm
-
um where is a good point ?
-
is there an alternate place to solder the d0 port than the chip ? im trying to do a hotswap to reflash my other chip
-
so i have attained this disc from 3 sources and cannot seem to let it to launch it. every time i try to run the it it crashes my xbox and reset's my box . i have tried flashfxp and flashzilla with adjusting the settings with both setting to binary ....didnt help

I would also check the D0 point.
What version Xbox?
This may be of help as well

Remove the chip and chean all the points on the chip and board that are making contact. over the years those points to the main board will have developed bad connections.
Your best to post some pics as well as other problems could have occurred to the Xbox's.
