the backed up games on my xbox have been slowly dissapearing over the last few days, 4 have gone missing so far. their folders dont seem to be in f: anymore, and free space on f: has been increasing also. i use mainly dvd2xbox to back them up, and i havent noticed any obvious deleting activity. could the system files on c: be screwed up? i recently installed surreal XXX and a newer version of XBMC, and have been playing games over the net using some tunnelling software. searching the forums hasnt given me any clues.

can anyone help/have any ideas?

yeah it happen to me to i use pxloader to load it though. and everytime i go to xbmc and then exit out to go back to xbmc it earses the games. so the way i sloved it was i just change the xboxmediacenter.xml for the games dir and put it to somthing else.

im not sure it is related to XBMC though, as i dont use that program often. when it happened to you, did it erase all the games on your list or only some? and were they actually removed from the harddrive or just inaccessable? for me, i first noticed that one game was missing, then the next day when i tried to backup that game again i noticed another 3 had dissappeared. has anyone seen anything like this before?

i use the evolutionx dash, so i think it might be seperate to your XBMC problem (if thats what you use to run games & apps). thanks anyway though

anyone else?

hey, iv been having similar troubles with my xbox and games disappearing.. what you need to do is delete all ur games.. now this might seem outlandish but trust me.. when u delete the game it wont really go, then once uv done that go and download a program called xmastrv9.8 install this and then follow the prompts and all ur games will be restored and safe from further erasing. u now will hav u use this game to add or delete games.. go forth young padawan

Good idea to not listen to that advice. Post count doesn't really mean squat but certainly don't take advice that harmful from someone with only one post.

Sorry. I've got no idea to fix your problem though.

no worries mate

i noticed they only joined yesterday as well, so it was a little suspicious. with the game problem, could it be possible that whilst connected to the net with my xbox a virus or worm found its way on there? i have no idea, but is unknown people accessing the files on your xbox hdd while youre on the net (playing or ftping) something users should be concerned about?

anyway, i havent since noticed anymore games going missing, so maybe it was a one off thing. ill check it out later, thanks for your help

I have 2 1.0's doing the same thing.

My 1.6b doesnt seem to do it tho.

All of them have Spiderchips in them, what chips are you guys running?

Has anyone with a 1.6 or newer had this problem?

Could it be something worng with the 1.0's?

Anyone have a solution?

the same thing kind of happened to me except my entire C drive got erased within about 15 minutes of playing games! does anybody know what happened there? i recently installed BO-Xlink, XBoy-Advance, and an internet browsing program. I also took apart my xbox and unplugged the hard drive and i plugged it back in of course but it was working perfectly fine the day before my C drive got cleared

what size hard drives are you guys using?

I've seen the same probs attacking computers, reformatted several this week for customers. The longer you have it running the more it deletes off the HD. There was no luck getting the info back to its proper location. I haven't found any info on this and leads to reformatting, as for the computer. My guess is that its a virus which I have labled "Pacman", for its love to munch your files. Anymore info on this would be appreciated.
