Sorry for the dramatic subject, but i'm desperate. I want to update my Xbox 360 to play original xbox games. But I don't know how! I do not have Xbox Live and I'm not sure if the things I'm using to burn data is working. Here's what I'm using - Nero Burner, and I'm using DVD Memorex CD's to burn it onto. Maybe I'm doing something wrong PLEASE HELP!

I'm guessing you downloded the update off the xbox site. So now you need to extract the file and burn it to a DVD or CD.
Then stick it in the xbox and update.

What happends when you try to update?

Well, I'll download it on a DVD blank disc but it won't pop up on my 360. It says "reading" than it'll say "open tray"

Your sure it got burned on the DVD? try putting the dvd in your computer and check to see if the file is on the DVD. If it is then if you have a blank CD try useing that instead of the DVD.

I don't have any other CD's

Did you check to see if the file was on the DVD?

I dont have an xbox nor a 360 but if the update was in .iso format or in .bin/cue format you have to make sure you burn it as an image rather than just burning it as data onto the disk.

Maybe you already did this im not sure. but if not and you are unsure write back for help.

No its not iso, its a xex file. Xex is a excutable for the 360. You just burn the xex on the cd/dvd then put it into the 360. Then the 360 opens the xex and runs it.

attach the 360 to the net and it should update automatically.

Nope you need a Live subscription.

Humm yea I guess that would work. He might not have a router though.
