For this tutorial we used Nero Burning Rom 6. You can of course use other versions but 6 is recommended purely because its the latest version up to press. We assume most of you use Nero. If you don't you should visit www.nero.com. DONT USE MEMOREX CD's - THEY SUCK ASS IN MOST CASES.

THIS TUTORIAL WILL NOT WORK WITH STANDARD XBOX FORMAT DISCS. YOU NEED TO FOLLOW THIS GUIDE FOR THAT



OK First open up Nero, you should get this screen.
Make sure a CD compilation is selected and that NO MULTISESSION is selected.
 



Click on the ISO tab. Set all your settings as shown on the screen - these are very important.
If you do not follow this instruction correctly the disc will not work!
 



For this tutorial we named the CD label "X3_BIOS" - This is optional of course.
You may want to name it as the name of the bios file for future reference and storage.

 


Now select the Burn tab. Note all the settings in the picture. We are using a CD-RW that can write at 4x.
We do not recommend using a CD-R (however Samsung drives and newer Philips drives in v1.6+ tend to
read some CD-R well - we suggest you do your own tests to see what works best for you) Now click New.

 


The Bios.bin (X3 Bios renamed manually to Bios.bin - IT HAS TO BE CALLED BIOS.BIN or the disc WILL NOT WORK)
and Dummy.bin are save on the desktop. Select them and drag the files to the window on the left.

 


Note how the filenames automatically change to uppercase. This is correct and shows that you
de-selected Joliet as instructed in the second image from the top of this tutorial.If the filenames do
not change to uppercase you did something wrong and the disc WILL NOT WORK! uppercase. As you
can see this process is automated by Nero. Now simply click the Burn icon as shown in the picture.

 


Check all the settings are correct. You may be using CD-RW that is 2x or 1x. Don't worry the
process is the same. Now click Burn.

 


This is pretty much what you can expect to see on screen mid way through the burn process.

 


Voila! All finished. It wasn't that hard at all was it ? Just so you
know a 4x burn takes around 4 minutes so you're not waiting too long.
