Go to My Computer, and right click your DVD drive and choose Open, inside right click and create > new folder, then copy and paste all of the files into it.

If that doesn't work let me know, Windows can be funny with doing stuff like that.

Well as long as you Copy > Paste, it won't be a problem. Don't Cut > Paste.

If it doesn't work, get a different DVD and try again.

What operating system is it?

I know on Windows 7 it asks if you want it to act as a USB (data store) or something else.

Nah you can do it, I've done it, but I don't know if it works with older versions of Windows.

xbox needs a disk to start it up to stop piracy :evil:
but i just want to make back up copies of games, so im not sure how to put a file onto a dual layer disk not sure if you have to add files or change files because its an xbox game.
