Ok, I just did my first J-tag and managed to get XeXMenu 1.1 installed by hooking my hard drive up to my PC and using Xplorer360.  Question is, what do I need to do to get games on the hard drive, so that they show up in XeXMenu.

Make a folder named GAMES on the root of your xbox HDD or on the root of a USB HDD (must be a FAT32 or HFS+ partition). Make a new folder named the game you have in the drive within that folder. Browse to that folder in xexmenu and hit Y, then select Copy DVD. When it is finished you will be able to see it in xexmenu. I recommend deleting the $SystemUpdate folder after copying the game especially new ones like mass effect 2 because it will mess up your jtag if you choose yes on the update.

If you want to be able to launch these from the xbox dashboard as well, you can use the Quickboot tool to make shortcuts.

Glad to help. In the XBReboot readme it says you can replace your 20 gb hdd with any laptop SATA hard drive. I haven't tried it myself, and I don't know the size limitations, but you might want to look into that. You can just take apart the case and pop the new one in (I think).

Yes. Sorry about that. I just looked at the readme and yes you can use HFS+. Edited former post

Ha me too. We might have to wait for XBMC to do that.

Mine did that too and does it with a few other games. My workaround was to just ftp the game to my same USB HDD that my games are on. Or you could try copying files or folders one by one, but that would take forever since there's no multiple select yet.

It's not perfect yet, but thanks to the devs for making a great app that keeps getting better

What do you use to extract the .iso on your PC, so that you can FTP it over?

Never done that because I don't download or make iso's. I meant that I pulled the game files from the xbox via ftp. There's probably a tool in the tools section on xbox-scene.com or eurasia.nu

Try XBox Image Browser.  Worked for me.

Yeah what I do when that happens is follow this order:

Have open the destination folder ie. USB0/GAMES/FATONE/

Then select COPY DVD from the Y menu

Let the draw open and put the disc in

Hit the eject button to close the disc draw

Wait 5 secs then select CONFIRM.

Its a timing thing with the spinning of the DVD, you cant do it too fast or too slow, just about 5 seconds after closing the drive.

If it still doesnt work, it probably is having trouble reading the disc due to marks/scratches.
