Copying to HDD

[squallseifer]

lolz for a second i thought u were laughing with me
...but i know u were laughing at me.. its always like that.

Anyways i actually took a stab in the dark whilst blindfolded and decided to leave out a folder called "movies" from the dvd-disc.
And guess what, it all backed up onto my HDD sweetly, despite having around 4.7gb left. Works a charm.

Btw boXplorer will get u an ass caning (thats a good thing) if u want to backup ur games onto HDD. Damn even i can do it!

If your in boXplorer, and you press start. The size listed as "space available" isn't always the size of the files. This is why that game size list has some messed up sizes. Not sure which one is correct though.

Any .bik, .wav, .wma, or any other common video/sound files can be replaced with a 3 second blank sound/movie file of the same type (obviosly). So, browse the disk, any available?

Quall mate ive already backed-up the game i just didnt include a folder named "movies" coz there was like different languages folders and once i saw a file with the name "nhl" i knew it wasnt necessary. Thanx anyway for the help mate.

So the most unecessary files that can be left out which arent entirely needed to be copied would be mainly video and sound files?
