If i want to play one of my older games, like a wave one game (gears of war 1), that i still have the same copy from when i used Xtreme, will it not boot? Then will i have to use the activate.iso disk?
if not, can someone give me an idea of when i should/need to use that activate.iso disk?
and can someone point me to where i can download the activate.iso?
thanks in advance for all the help!

chorizo1 gave you the best option for sure.
But if you, for some weirdo reason, still wanna to load an unsafe backup, try this (taken from iXtreme 1.6 readme.txt file):
-One shot boot mode! - allows a one off boot of gamedisc without -stealth/partition checks (will still use stealth), use activate.iso disk to activate each time!
When you download the iXtreme 1.6 , any drive version, it comes with activate.iso to burn.

This will show you how to burn the ISO using ImgBurn instead of having to buy CloneCD.
QUOTE(Activate.iso Tutorial)
Couldnt find any real info on this but through trial and error Ive finally figured it out!!!
These instructions were made using Imgburn!!!
Activate.iso is designed to enable One-shot boot mode for the iXtreme 1.6 firmware. One-shot boot mode allows you to boot your unstealthed, modified or Hybrid backups without any strict stealth checks!!!!
PLEASE NOTE!!! DOES NOT BOOT UNSTEALTHED XBOX 1 BACKUPS!!!! I was really hoping it would .
1: You need your Activate.iso file! should have come with any version of iXtreme 1.6. download one of those to get Activate.iso.
2: Once you have the activate.iso file, you wanna drag and drop or save it to your desktop.
3: Insert a DVD+R DL into your dvd burner.
4: Now open up Activate.iso with any burning software you use. (I.E. Imgburn, Clonecd, etc I personally use Imgburn )
5: Now in your burning program go into your write setting tab and make sure your layerbreak is set to the Calculate Optimal setting. Also check your booktype for DVD+R DL and make sure its on the DVD-ROM setting and that your write speed is at 2.4x.
6: Start Burn!
7: As soon as the burn starts a message will pop saying, that the image is small enough for a regular DVD R, do you want to continue anyway?
(You wanna choose yes because burned to a regular DVDR the Activate.iso wont work!!!)
8: Next another message will pop saying, even though the image is small enough to fit into one layer its best to write in both layers, do wou wanna go away from the norm and write in only one layer? (Now I wanna stress READ THIS MESSAGE CAREFULLY!!!!)
Choosing Yes will cause all data to be wrttin into the first layer.
Choosing No will cause data to be writing into both layers.
CHOOSE NO!!
9: It will burn then finish
10: Insert the Activate.iso disk into your xbox 360. It will read for a little longer than usual then finally it will say Play DVD. Press A on your controller and a video should pop saying, Play this disk in an xbox 360 console.
This is how you know youve burned the iso sucessfully!!
11: Now just eject the Activate.iso disk and insert your unstealthed, modified or Hybrid disk and it will load!!!
Thanks for listening!! I hope this helps some that were struggling like me

Users with firmware 1.6 will have to use Active iso
Step #1 Download Active iso
Step #2
Once you have the activate.iso downloaded
You now have to burn to DVD DL. Do not use CD-r or Dvd-r Xbox 360 will not recognize them. To burn the image i suggest Imgburn.
Step #3
If you use Imgburn you set have to set the layerbreak to optimal by going to
Tools --> Settings... --> Write -->
Optimal is in the right top corner.
Step #4
Burn at 2.4x
Step #5
IMGburn will bring now bring to your attention that activate.iso is small enough to fit a DVD5 or (DVD +/-/R)
Ignore it and continue burning on a dual layer. Click Yes
Step #6
Imgburn will now ask if you would like to write the image on one layer. The image is small enough to fit on one layer.
Click yes
Step #7
Once the disc is made put the disc into your xbox360. Let it read, after a while it will say Play DVD.
Press A on your controller and you should get a message saying to play this game please insert in an
xbox360 console. You can now eject it.
Step #8
Next insert your wave 4 game. There you have it.
Just a quick note you have to put this disc in everytime you play a 4th wave game.
Hope this helps

Found these instructions on a RapidWorldz page. DON'T Google it, as the site will hammer your PC with popups, Java ads and will try to install a trojan.

Hey tanks for the great information as it did work for me and I'm playing my backed-up Tekken6 and MWF2! I'm so happy that I can finally play the wave 4 games now. I can wait for the 1.61 for the Lite-On as I only have to boot this disc prior to playing the newer games. One note though: I didn't use IMG Burn; instead, I used "DVD Decrypter" and it worked flawlessly. The two programs are almost identical if you'd ask me, thus it has properly burned my ISO correctly and I'm back again.
Thanks to all the Teams and geniuses at the Scene!
