I tried burning it to a cd r and cd rw. But my 360 couldn't recognize it. So how do u guys update ur system without live. Would I burn the file as a data cd or what and what software are u guys using at the time I was using Nero. Thanks. I saved the zipped file and unzipped file to a disc to no avail. Any suggestions.

Oh yeah u could buy the cd from Microsoft for a small fee.

That's the update I'm speaking of Vince. I can't get it to work for me.

You don't pay for the disc, you pay for shipping.

I don't have a credit card to pay for it that's why I'm trying to get some help with burning and such.

burn the file that is unzipped with nero or something and then finalize the disk when it is complete..

I did that. But what would I burn it as: a data disc. Cd disc or photo or media disc. I tried everything but I'll try it again.

did you see this on the site??

Create a DVD or CD
To create an update disc you need the following:

A DVD or CD burner.
A blank, writeable DVD or CD.
The update from Xbox.com.
These steps will cover burning the DVD or CD with Windows and the DVD or CD burning software that is part of the operating system. DVDs work better than CD-Rs, which in turn work better than CDRWs.

(For illustration, we're using a CD in a CD burner, but the same steps apply with a DVD in a DVD burner.)

Step 1: Place a blank disc in your burner. Select "Open Writable CD Folder Using Windows Explorer" or just open the CD drive icon from Explorer.

If you choose to use third-party CD/DVD writing software then please follow the instructions for that software in creating a data disc with just the update on the disc.

Step 2: Drag default.xex to the CD Folder. If the CD write window doesn't open by default please drag and drop default.xex on the CD/DVD RW drive.



Step 3: Click "Write files to CD" from the CD writing tasks in the Explorer window or select Write these files to CD from the CD/DVD RW drive right mouse click menu.

Step 4: Go through the CD wizard. The first step is to add a label to the CD; the default of the date is fine.



Step 5: The CD wizard will create the CD. Wait until the CD is ejected.



Step 6: Remove the CD from the drive—you have created the CD.



Update the Console
Update the backward compatibility program as well as the operating system software in your Xbox 360 console.

Step 1: Place the CD in the Xbox 360 console.



Step 2: The update program will start automatically. Select "Continue" to apply the update.



Step 3: Wait for the update to complete.

Step 4: Your system needs to have the operating system software updated. Select "Yes, update now" and press the A button.



Step 5: The console will reboot and you're done. Insert your original Xbox games and enjoy!

Order a Disc
You can also order a disc from Xbox.com. There will be a nominal fee charged for this disc and shipping and handling.

When you receive the disc, follow the steps below to update your console. You will update the backward compatibility program as well as the operating system software on the console in this step.

By installing this update, you agree to the software license and other related terms set forth in the Xbox Live Terms of Use, located here.

Step 1: Place the CD in the console.



Step 2: The update program will start automatically. Select "Continue" to apply the update.



Step 3: Wait for the update to complete.

Step 4: Your system needs to have the operating system software updated. Select "Yes, update now" and press the A button.



Step 5: The console will reboot and you're done. Insert your original Xbox games and enjoy!

Re: xbox 360 BC disc

xrob, try a different brand of media... could just be that your 360 is just picky about the brand of media you are using..
