How to extract / dump title updates (patches) to and from the Xbox 360 hard drive

Description

First you need to connect the Xbox 360 hard drive to your computer using something like the Microsoft Transfer Kit, the Xport Docking Station or the Datel Xsata.

Download Xplorer 360 for 20 / 120gb drives or for 250gig drives. DO NOT USE THE 250GB VERSION ON A SMALLER DRIVE OR VISA VERSA, IT WILL CORRUPT ALL YOUR DATA.

Now load Xplorer 360, be sure to run it with Administrative rights.

Then open your Xbox 360 hard drive

Now click on Partition 3 then on the Cache folder, the contents of the folder should be displayed as in the image below.

Extracting a title update from the 360 hard drive.

This is the hard and annoying bit now, as you will notice the folder is full of temp files and title updates, if you are wanting to extract a title update there is no easy way to find out which update is which.

My suggestion would be to dump the everything in Cache folder to your PC then delete it from your Xbox 360, go on Xbox Live, Play the game you want the title update for and let it download.

You should only have the title update for that game in the Cache folder, you can then dump it to the desktop as seen in the screenshot below. After you can add the contents of your cache folder back to your hard drive if you wish.

Checking you have extracted the correct file

Windows 7 64-Bit (x64) Recovery Disc

Description

Download Windows 7 64-Bit (x64) Recovery Disc

These days people who get Windows 7 with a new computer or laptop from the major manufacturers like Dell, Acer, Toshiba HP and others will find they don’t get a Windows 7 DVD with their new computers. It doesn’t matter that you spent hundreds on your new computer with a valid Windows 7 you still are not entitled to the DVD.

The problem with that is simple, when you have problems with your Windows installation and it’s not booting you need to use that disc to recover from the problem. For some people they have downloaded or borrowed Windows 7 discs from PC who purchased a full copy of 7 in a shop. Windows 7 has gone a step further having a simple recovery center with automated tools which will fix your install (unlike the XP days where you had to use Recovery Console and command lines to fix it) yet despite this without a disc customers can’t get to use this feature!

Luckily Microsoft has listened to peoples complaints and have kindly made a recovery disc. It contains the contents of the Windows 7 DVD’s “Recovery Center”. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows 7 but does provide you with all the Recovery tools which should hopefully get you back on track.

Download:

Download Windows 7 64-bit (x64) Recovery Disc
Edit: Sadly we received a DMCA Takedown request for these and can no longer provide download mirrors for these. Sorry about that :/

Alternatively:

Are you using the 32-bit version of Windows 7? (If you are unsure, you are most likely using 32-bit). If so:
Download Windows 7 32-bit (x64) Recovery Disc

Its important to ensure you use the right version (32/64 bit) for the Windows 7 you have otherwise it can cause problems!

How to use:

Unzip the recovery disc you downloaded, then burn the CD Image (ISO file) to a disc, if you are unsure how to do this why not have a look at Digiex's How to burn BIN, CUE, DI, DVD, GI, IMG, ISO, MDS, NRG and PDI images to disc guide.

If your bios is set to boot from CD / DVD you can now put the burned disc in your computer and boot the recovery disc. If not you will have to set your computer to boot from DVD before the hard disk. You have to do this in the computers bios which is usually accessed by pressing F2 or Delete when you power the computer on.

[Xbox 360] How to get a free data migration kit to copy content to the pc

Description

Basically if you owned a premium 360 then upgraded to an elite you are entitled to a free data transfer kit which will copy all the content from your 20gig / 60gig hard drive to the elites 120gig hard drive.

Now here is the nice bit, the transfer kit can also be used to copy content to and from the 360’s hard drive using a PC. This will also let you backup your save games safely on your pc, especially useful for those games that dont let you copy the save to another device *cough* games by rare such as PDZ and Kameo. *cough*

Anyway here is the trick, go to the Xbox.com | System Use - Hard-Drive Transfer Kit for the Xbox 360 Elite System website and click How to get your free transfer cable (PDF). [Edit 02.03.17 - Link removed, i don't think this is possible anymore]

The website I link to above is for the UK / Europe however I believe the transfer kit is offered for free in other regions too. If anyone can post links for them I’m sure it will help some one out.

Basically for the elites serial number just write “on order” and fill the rest of the page out as normal, you must have a valid serial for either a core / arcade or premium console.

Thats all, after you have posted it off you should get a transfer kit 2-3 weeks later.

When you get your transfer kit why not have a look at thise guide to learn how to extract content from the 360’s hard drive.

You could even help with some demo requests and upload them to Digiex - Digiex 360 Demo Requests

Xbox 360 NXE Full Dashboard 7371 + Avatars [Offline Install] - June 2009

Description

Download Xbox 360 NXE Full Dashboard + Avatars [Offline Install]

*June 2009*

It’s worth mentioning this is the last version of the Dashboard before the homebrew exploit was patched, if you want to run homebrew on your 360 install this dashboard and don’t upgrade any higher or connect to Xbox Live.

This is the latest NXE which was released on Xbox Live in June 2009.

You can download this and place on a DVD (or even USB drive works) and install the NXE without connecting to Xbox Live. Great for helping friends who arent on Xbox Live experience the NXE or updating your own consoles which you don't connect to Live for any reason.

Instructions:

To create a DVD or CD:

1. Download the $SystemUpdate anywhere to your computer.
2. Place a blank disc in your burner.
From Windows Explorer, select Open Writable CD Folder Using Windows Explorer or open the CD drive icon.
3. Open (double click) the rared $SystemUpdate.rar folder and drag the contents of the zipped folder to the root of the CD Folder. If the CD write window doesn't open by default, drag and drop the folder onto the CD/DVD RW drive.

InsaneNutter has created a video to try and help those of you who are having problems:

Apple Boot Camp Drivers 2.1 [Leopard 10.5.6]

Description

Apple Boot Camp Drivers 2.1 [Leopard 10.5.6]

This is a direct rip of the Windows partition straight off of the Leopard 10.5.6 install disc with all drivers included for all modern versions of Windows including Windows XP, Windows Vista 32bit and 64bit.
This drivers for some odd reason arent available off the Apple Website and I either didnt get a Leopard Disc with my Mac Mini or I lost it and needed them and the only way Apple offered to get them was to buy a replacement disc! So instead I borrowed a friends disc and posted all the drivers up here for anyone else in the same situation as me, I personally tested this on Windows 7 RC1 with my Mac Mini and the drivers worked perfectly.
