    I FTP'd Halo 2 from my xbox drive to my computer, and then used Quix to turn it into an ISO, but the ISO it creates is far too large to put onto a dvd. What do i need to do here? Are there some files i need to delete from the game cd folder before i create the ISO or what?

    if you look at the size you will see its only like 13 meg too big.

    Delete the 50 meg+ update.xbe and it will fit.

    i just made and ISO of halo 2 and it is 4.39gb (needs to be 4.37 to fit on a single layer disc) then i tried to do what you said to do, and the update.xbe file is only 2.2mb (the 50mb thing you said to delete is that the dashupdate.xbe file) also is that file to do with the xbox live?

    i deleted update, updatedashboard, and download.xbe and it works perfectly. Thank you very much for the help.

    Yeah, i am pretty sure those files have to do with Xbox live, but with a modded machine..well, you dont want to sign directly onto xbox live.. xbox connect is more modded xbox friendly...
