i have just got into this ftp backup iso etc thing and am a little tadpole with a big idea. I am really impressed with all that you all figure out. After reading about backups and about installing new drives on your Xbox i immediately thought
could it be possible to install a DVD writer into a Xbox and could something like Nero be adapted to work on an xbox. Therefore you could copy game to hard drive then write it back on to a blank whilst in the xbox

You dont have to reply and totally confuse me, its more as a posting to get the brains out there ticking over and tackle the issue. I'm sure someone will come up with a solution soon. Would be interested in any of your thoughts and just to see if anyone knows what i'm thinking
