Uhm, you could always burn the skins to a disc and use a filemanager to copy the files to the correct place on the hard drive.. I'd get ftp working though, it'd make your life much easier wink.gif

thats the thing, i can't get ftp to work. Does the xbox have to connected to a video source such as a tv for it to work? And what filemanager would you use ?

i used the slayers disk on my xbox and i did a full install, but it didn't do a full install. I tried it several times, so i don't have any file managers. I only have dvd2xbox.

dvd2xbox might have a filemanager built in, I can't remember.. In any case, it is honestly in your best interest to get FTP working. How are you connecting your xbox to your PC? If it's directly connected, are you using a crossover cable an a static IP? If it's going through a router, are you using a dynamic IP (DHCP) and a patch cord? Do you know what the xbox's IP is? wink.gif smile.gif

Unplug the modem and plug the crossover cable into your PC and your xbox.

ok after some searching what i have is a cat 5 patch cable. Is this not the correct cable to use. If not can't you just switch some wires?
