So I had a friend jtag my old xbox with a broken DVD drive, (he removed it an put fans and heat sinks in for me) so from the get go I have no DVD drive. So to get games backed up what we did was use his unmodded xbox to rip the games to the Xbox HDD (nxe), and then attached the harddrive to my Jtag console and just copied my backed up games onto the external harddrive (thinking everything would go well) The files are broken into .data files, they cannot be played with xemenu or frestyle dash, i dont know what to do with them, iv tried fixing them with le fluffie, with no results.
So I'm just wondering if we screwed this up royally and theres no hope, or if theirs a way to convert these .Data files into an .iso or GOD or something like that to be able to use them with Freestyle Dash or Xemenu. Would it work if i ripped my games to my friends harddrive then patched them with nex2god THEN transfered them to my external ?
Im extremely confused and frustrated with this situation, any help you could offer would be appreciated.
