if i go through all that crap of connecting my xbox to my pc with a cross over cable will i be able to burn backups with a dvd+r drive and will my xbox be able to read these disks. and, i have a newer xbox with a thompson drive. will i have to change this to a samsung?
A new Xbox and a Thompson drive doesn't sound right. When you say new, do you mean that you recently bought it or you're recently playing it? It MAY work. I'm not guaranting anything, as each xbox is one of a kind.
