How to Copy XBox 360 Games to an HDD

The Xbox 360 video game system makes use of a built-in DVD disc drive to play games, DVDs and CDs. When you insert a disc into the Xbox 360, the disc drive will spin the disc, using a built-in laser to read the contents. The spinning mechanism of the disc drive eventually can damage the drive&'s functions and lead to hardware failure.
