You just need a DVD-R, the dvd needs to be 7.5GB+ like it says in the tutorial. The raw dump is a .iso file, the layer break is a .dvd file.

ok..... so when i burn it do i burn the .dvd or the .iso..... i am using windows vista. and when i save it it saves it as a iso..... do i still have to change it to image000.iso...

would it work better if i burned it at a lower speed then 6x...

Yeah rename the .iso to IMAGE000.iso and yes the slower you burn it the better quality it is burned at.(I don't know how much better though.)

OK, when i do the paperclipping method, it only comes out with 1 file in the folder, not 2... what am i doing wrong?

[And when i open my iso in the ss patcher, it says it is unrecognized...

Well im not sure on the paper clip thing cuz i just have my xbox open.....
But i do know is that you probably didnt make the iso right and you dont have to patch the s sectors if you are gonna hot swap.... the best way i think is just to open up your xbox if you really dont care bout it it wont hurt it at all.....

or do you mean the paper clip on the computer????? cuz that way is tricky i think because you have to get it just right for it to work... the best way is to go and get a 20 dollar dvd burner and just open it up and conect to to either your computer or via usb drive... i would give you the files but it would take a couple of days but i dont have the time and plus it is easier just to burn it your self.......

and other questions just pm me... i will help
