Problems Extracting ISO images on my PC

[Henry]

ok did a post on cdrom, thought better do it on here aswell :)

Basically having problems extracting soem iso files, things that have been buggering up have been

Splinter Cell 2 (the retail release)

Tenchu Return To Darkness

Now i have tried the following,

FTPing the Iso file to the Xbox, then extracting with Complex ISO ripper. These both stop about 3/4 into the install with it just totally hanging, hd stops responding and have to reset

Extracting the ISO file onto my PC using an iso tool from xbox scene called xbox iso. This then crashes at the point saying errors etc etc. Now i downloaded these off an FTP and i'm sure if they were both buggered there would be complaints by now (splinter cell 2 pretty large release). So wondered if there is known patches needed for the games? or if the iso tools for ripping isos are not as good as burning it onto a DVDR.

I really wanted to just save some disks and I can't think of what the problem is :( i might try and download Tenchu again, check it wasn't just a dud file but rather not have to waste time downloading 1-2 gigs again.

If anyone has or had these problems then would be great cause i really dunno wat else to try other than burning them to a dvdr disk :) (which i have none of at the moment)

Thanks

you can try transfering the iso with qwix (http://www.teamavalaunch.com/qwix/)

What OS are you using on your PC?
I had trouble with large files using 98/ME. Switched to XP because it can handle larger files (over 2 gigs) and never had any more problems.

no problems here with those two games using qwix, xiso, or craxtion, so look into what double suggested

[nimbles]

FAT32 (ME/98 File system) has a 4GB limit, not 2
So let me get this straight you ftping iso's to the xbox and trying to extract them on the xbox?

a) FatX has problems with large file sizes
b) how much space do you have on the hd- for at least until the iso is extracted you'll need the space of both the extracted iso and the iso itself.

You can either use (as most people have already said)qwix (wihich will extract and ftp on the fly (so you don't require double the space of the iso on your pc hd). You can extract the iso with simplexiso and ftp the files manually with an ftp client, but thats slower than qwix, and will require teice the hd space.

you could also set up a samba share from complex tools to a drive to your pc- check the tutorial in the FAQ, and do it that way as well but the qwix option is definitely the simplest and fastest (especially used together with avalunch)
