i am having trouble putting a 6 gig file through ftping is it because the xbox uses fat32 file system and not ntfs? and if so how do i change it easily without taking the drive out and backing up all my games so they wont get deleted. and will the thing still work in ntfs and not fat32?

I don't think it uses either.. you'll have to do a search on it.

As for changing the disk format, i am almost certain that is absolutely impossible.

The xbox uses it's own file system called FATX. You cannot change the file system on the xbox.

If theres a program that will rip a game to the xb hdd without isoing it up, thats your answer, and if the fatx limitation IS 4gb, then that is your only soultuion outside of ftping it directly on the fly, bypassing the xb hdd.

if it's a game, use quix, will do the work for you.

there is a limit on how long filenames can be too, if their too long they won't transfer, (i forget i think its like 40 something characters)
