Yeah, Lepper said the correct thing but I don't know if you will understand it seeing as how you appear to be new.  Make a folder on one of your drives called Doom.  Maybe you have space on an F: or E: drive.  In that case it would be in E:games or something similar.  Upload the files into D:gamesDoom or whatever.  Then use something like boxplorer to go to the default.xbe file and run it.  <

Do you even have an F drive?  Are you using the retail hard drive?  Is it WD or Seagate?  <

yeah if you only have the original xbox harddrive, then make it on E:

eg: E:\SHiZNO\Baku Baku X\*all files here*..


then run the game from EVOX or whatever dashboard you are using


you could also burn it to a cd-rw

you can make evox scan the e:\games\ or whatever folder automatically...its probably already set to look for e:\emus and e:\games or whatever... just look in evox.ini near the bottom for that shit  <
