i was wondering if it was poosible to burn apps to a cd and install them on the xbox

Yes, If you can get your xbox to read the disk then you can use a filemanager to copy the files from the disk onto the correct directory on the hard drive.

Its alot easier just to do it by FTP though.

would i have ftp my xbox to get the filemanger on there?

No, make the filemanager a bootable disk, then boot it from the disk and copy the files to the hard drive. Think about it

how do i make the filemanger a bootable disc?

Download it, rename the Xbe to default.xbe, make it into an xbox ISO, then burn to a disk that will boot in your xbox. Alot of xbox dvd drievs cant read CD-r but im sure you have heard all this already (at least you should have done)

k thanx
