How To:
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.

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 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.
http://www.xbox.com/NR/rdonlyres/B2B1F985-A4E2-4B42-BE77-D18968C374B7/0/ilmUpdateFlash.jpg

Instant Messaging Comes to Xbox 360

Redmond , Washington—Your Xbox LIVE® friends list is about to get a whole lot bigger. Microsoft Corp. today announced the launch of Windows LIVE™ Messenger on Xbox 360™, connecting friends across Xbox 360 consoles, Microsoft® Windows®-based PCs and Windows Mobile®-powered devices.
http://www.xbox.com/NR/rdonlyres/4B8E3339-4909-4DE0-8BC8-37D70B7448EC/0/ilmNotifyChatDash.jpg
Chat with your friends via Live Messenger.
With this update to Xbox 360, friends and families can easily connect and chat directly from their television using Windows Live Messenger, a network of more than 20 billion relationships and more than 260 million active accounts.
"Xbox LIVE has really become the
largest social network on television."
—Jerry Johnson, Microsoft

Beginning the week of May 7, 2007, the Xbox 360 Spring Update will provide Xbox 360 owners worldwide with access to Windows Live Messenger features, broadening the communication options on the Xbox LIVE social network.
Connected Experiences
Members of the six-million-strong Xbox LIVE community currently send more than two million text and voice messages a day and can now use Windows Live Messenger to text chat with up to six people on their contact list at one time, while playing games, listening to music, or watching movies. Text chat adds to the variety of options friends and families already have to communicate with on Xbox LIVE, including voice and video chat.
Current relationships on Windows Live Messenger and Xbox LIVE will be unified on Xbox 360 and users will see at a glance if their existing friends on Windows Live Messenger have Gamertags, instantly expanding the breadth of connected experiences they can share online.
"Bringing the largest IM community in the world, Windows Live Messenger, to Xbox 360 makes sense, as Xbox LIVE has really become the largest social network on television," said Jerry Johnson, product unit manager of Xbox LIVE at Microsoft. "For our growing community of six million on Xbox LIVE, using Xbox 360 is a very social, connected experience. They are using Xbox 360 to play games, music, and movies while simultaneously communicating with one another through video, voice, and text chat. With this announcement we are simultaneously expanding the access of Xbox LIVE users to existing friends and family while introducing Windows Live Messenger users to the benefits of Xbox 360."
http://www.xbox.com/NR/rdonlyres/197A9EE2-9DA0-45BD-974C-0FEC9FF469CF/0/ilmAchievementNotificatio.jpg
Know instantly which achievement you accomplished.
Beginning the week of May 7, users of Windows Live Messenger on Xbox 360 can text chat using the virtual keyboard accessible on Xbox 360, or by connecting a USB keyboard to the console. This summer Microsoft will launch a QWERTY text-input device, a new accessory that will connect directly into the Xbox 360 controller to support text and instant messaging.
Other New Features
Beyond Windows Live Messenger, the Spring Update for Xbox 360 includes hundreds of new features and enhancements including:

A richer Achievement notification pop-up will showcase the name of the unlocked Achievement and the Gamerscore value without needing to leave the game to check the Achievements list.
Enhanced family settings features for Xbox LIVE communications enable different defaults for video chat and voice chat.
A new Xbox LIVE Marketplace blade lets Xbox LIVE members access the content they seek—whether it is game content or TV shows and movies (available in the United States)—from one place on Xbox LIVE.
Updates to Xbox LIVE Arcade allow owners to quickly see which Xbox LIVE Arcade games their friends are playing and join in the fun. Xbox LIVE members can also compare progress of leaderboard scores and Achievements directly with all friends on their friends list.
Expanded "Tell a Friend" capabilities make it easier than ever to boast about Achievements and high scores.
A new option in Auto Downloads provides faster access to the entire collection of free, trial-version Xbox LIVE Arcade games.
New progressive download controls provide easy access to optimal viewing options by letting people fast-forward, rewind, pause and resume as their video is downloaded from Xbox LIVE Marketplace.
Extension of the background download functionality will allow owners to set their Xbox 360 console to turn off automatically after downloads are complete.The Spring Update is free beginning the week of May 7, and will be easily accessible to every Xbox 360 owner through Xbox LIVE or on Xbox.com.
You may not even notice all the new features, but they are all designed to enhance your Xbox LIVE experience. Some of the other features in this upgrade include:

When the user is in the dashboard and an Xbox 360 game is in the console, then the name of the game is displayed in the tray icon of the dashboard. If the user highlights the tray icon, then achievements and Gamerscore are displayed for that game based on the signed-in user.
Integrated support for the new Xbox 360 text input device. Note that this device includes a new wired headset.
Playback progress bar indicates download completion.
Switchable aspect ratio now available during video playback (Auto to Letterbox, Zoom, Stretch, Native).
Player and friends lists now quickly show session presence information for quick identification of users that are joinable.
Added H.264 video support: Up to 10 Mbps peak, Baseline, Main, and High profiles with 2 channel AAC LC.
Added MPEG-4 Part 2 video support: Up to 5 Mbps peak, Simple Profile with 2 channel AAC LC.
Shows folder hierarchy for video content played from all devices.
Bookmarks are stored for each video that the user plays, remembering the user's last location in the file as well as the aspect ratio that the user chose for that file.
Video trick modes (fast forward, rewind, chapter skip) can now be used while downloading Video Marketplace content.
Skip forward and backward functionality has been improved to skip to the next or previous chapter. Each video is divided into 10 "chapters" allowing you to quickly skip around video content.
The information bar that is turned on via the On-Screen Display (OSD) now shows you exactly where you are in the playback of the video file. In addition, it will also show for Video Marketplace content how much of the file has been downloaded and where the "chapters" exist in the file.
Windows Media protected content (WM-DRM) can now be streamed from the PC to the console. If the WM-DRM license is missing or corrupted, then a specific error message is displayed to the user. Bookmarking is also stored for protected content.
When a user selects an item for download from Marketplace, then the system will determine if there is sufficient disk space for the item and, if not, will ask the user to delete content on the HDD. The system provides a sorted by size list of videos, game trailers, demos and arcade content to aid the user in the deletion process. The same list of items are also available from within memory so that users can quickly see which items are consuming the most disk space.
The console will block the user who attempts to download content onto a storage device that will never have the capacity to store the item without deducting any points associated with the content item.
The screensaver is disabled when playing photos from any source.Don't 4get m8... If u find this post useful, repute me k... Please leave a word for this post k m8...

Get System Updates for Your Xbox 360

There are two ways to get operating system updates for your Xbox 360 console:

* Update through Xbox LIVE.
* Burn a DVD or CD.

Update through Xbox LIVE

Getting the update free through Xbox LIVE is the best option because your console will be automatically updated as new system software is released.

To update your Xbox 360 console over Xbox LIVE, you must have an Xbox Live account with either Gold or Silver membership, and a broadband Ethernet connection.

To update through Xbox LIVE:

1. Connect your Xbox 360 console to your broadband connection. If your console is not connected already, see Connect to Xbox LIVE.

Note

Your console will be restarted when you join Xbox Live, so be sure to save your game progress.

2. Create an Xbox LIVE membership or add Xbox LIVE to your offline profile, if you haven't already. Go to the Marketplace area of the Xbox Dashboard and select Join Xbox Live. Follow the steps of creating a profile.

You can also add an Xbox LIVE membership to an existing profile by selecting Join LIVE from the Xbox LIVE area of the Xbox 360 Dashboard.

You may be asked to update the software on your console. Select Yes and wait for the update to finish. Future updates will be installed automatically, as long as you are signed into Xbox LIVE.

Join Xbox Live
Burn a DVD or CD

The other possibility is to download a file from Xbox.com and burn a DVD or CD. Use this method if you don't have your console connected to broadband, or if you use a dialup connection to the Internet. You could even do this at a friend's house who has a broadband Internet connection and a DVD or CD burner.

To create an update disc you need the following:

* A DVD or CD burner.
* A blank writeable DVD or CD.
* The update file from Xbox.com.

This procedure involves burning the DVD or CD by using Microsoft Windows DVD or CD burning software. If you're using third-party CD/DVD writing software, follow the instructions for creating a data disc.

The same steps apply when burning a DVD in a DVD burner.

To create a DVD or CD:

1. Click here to begin downloading the update folder. Save it as "$SystemUpdate_[date].zip" anywhere on 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. Drag the zipped $SystemUpdate zip folder to the CD Folder. If the CD write window doesn't open by default, drag and drop folder on the CD/DVD RW drive.

Note

If you are using an earlier version of Windows you will need to open the file using a separate utility (for example, WinZip).

4. In the Explorer window, click Write files to CD from the CD writing tasks or right-click the CD/DVD RW drive and select Write these files to CD.

Caution

The update filename and folder structure must be intact for the update to run properly.

5. Follow the steps in the CD wizard.

When you are finished with the wizard, the CD will eject. Your CD is ready.

To update the console:

1. Place the CD in the Xbox 360 console.
2. Power cycle the Xbox 360 console.
3. The update program will start automatically. Select "Yes, update now" and press the A button.
4. Wait for the update to complete.
5. The console will reboot and you're done.

Every update have to put on their own cd...

You can also copy the update at the root of a USB pendrive, the xbox will detect it, no need to waste a CD :)

hi mates!! just wanna know if somebody here have an idea coz my xbox 360 got problem if i try to on display wont appear on the screen and then i saw 3 red light blinking at the on/off swicth button... anybody can help me!!!

goodday!!!!!

TIA.

Ow, that really s****, sorry to hear that! :(

The three blinking lights are a very common problem called Red ring of death (RROD).
Microsoft has extended the warranty to 3 years for that problem, so if you haven't been banned from live and your console is not modified, call MS, they will repair your console.
If you're out of warranty or banned from live, it may be possible to repair it with a process called X-clamp fix.

xclamp all the way done a few, don't forget to burn it in for a good 10 to 15 minutes are you will be doing it again.....

What's your opinion Intruder, do you think the x-clamp fix should be done as a preventive measure?
A lot of people advocates that, but I'm reluctant to fix something that isn't broken.... yet :)

I'm with you mate, pointless doing the xclamp mode until needed. Who knows maybe your the lucky one with a decent console, but as you said "don't fix what is not broken"

EDIT you have hit my sweet spot here, know knack all about phones but consoles is another matter :)

Thanks for your opinion! I bought mine recently and managed to get a Jasper, so hopefully it won't die on me too soon. :)
