Newbie ish Backup Problems!

[Quall999]

first, delete the game from the hdd completely. Then, use dvd2xbox to try and copy again.

However, when it finishes, look at the display. It should tell you files copied, patched, and failed.

The failed is what you want. Are there any files that have failed to copy? dvd2xbox will just display it there, and nowhere else. I have had that happen numberous times on original disks. The disks played fine, but copied badly. To fix it, I usually have to ftp to the xbox.

I first take note of how many files failed. Then, I connect to the xbox on both sides of the ftp windows. One side is set to D, and the other is the Game folder. There is an option to compare files and folders. Well, you have to go into every folder and do a "compare" seperately. It only compares files in the direcory you are in, not subfolders. After you find a file, transfer it to your PC, or try to transfer it directly from D to F, or whichever folder.

Deleted the game did the backup again using dvd2xbox and it said no files failed to copy!!!!! so check anyway on ftp compare and all seems fine. but the game will still not boot! it now hang when it tries to boot (before if kicked itself back to the dash)

Any other ideas????

again cheers to all for the help

Sorted my problem out, just had to use a boot disk and format and reinstall everthing and all appears to be working now (bit extreme but it appears to of worked)

I should have suggested to make sure that TRS is set to disabled, and IGR was set to no in the evox dash.
