    He's on about installing games to the harddrive, I think. Insert the game, go to it's window in the dashboard and press Y for details to install. If you have auto startup enabled you will have to exist the game to do this and go back to the dashboard after inserting the disc. Some games can't be installed like Modern Warfare 2 does not have this option.

    Sorry should have explained more, I'm looking to store games from the gaming disc to the hard drive just to save on loading times and noise levels, I know I'll still need the disc to play the game but wouldn't mind cutting down the time

    thought you have to play the game first

    then exit and goto the game in the list of recient games

    then press y



    think the feature worked much better on the original xbox :D:D:D

    You don't have to play the game first at all. It ends up like that for most people because most people have autorun enabled on the disc drive. I have that disabled so when I put a game in nothing happens until I tell it to.

    You don't have to go into your recent games list, but its another way of doing it. I do it from the window that tells you what game is in the drive.
