Game backup size question (newbie type)

[Beleidat]

Thanks to everyone who responded

I have been doing some playing around with boxplorer and creative tools and worked out that to shrink a dvd you can usually rip the other languages.

Been playing with craxtion to make multi game backups, looks pretty sweet.

A couple of other question you guys may be able to answer:
1. Is there a better way to eject the cdrom without my unit going back to M$ dashboard (or is it a faulty mod chip), i read mention of a open and close util for XB but havent been able to find a link for it anywhere.
2. Is there a way to bypass the auto boot from CDROM?
