How to Copy an ISO to Xbox 360

Making a backup copy of an Xbox 360 video game keeps the original from harm while protecting your investment. You can copy the game's ISO file (named for the International Organization for Standardization, which defines the format) to a DVD and use it with a modified game console. You'll need a DVD burning program, of which there are many available for Mac and PC at no cost. The procedure for copying the ISO file to a DVD is no different than making a copy of any other data file.

      Download a DVD burning program. Try Burn for Mac or ImgBurn for PC (see the links in Resources), if your computer lacks a native burning program, such as Windows DVD Maker (standard on Windows 7 systems) or Toast. Double-click on the downloaded file to start the installation process. Follow the commands to install the program onto the computer's hard drive. Restart a PC after the installation has finished.
