How to Copy an Xbox Game to a Hard Drive

You can ditch your Xbox 360 game discs and enjoy gameplay directly from the console's hard drive. The Xbox 360 lets users copy games to the system's hard drive. After you copy an Xbox game to the hard drive, you will no longer need a disc to play a game. The 360 will load the entire game directly from the console's library.

Instructions

1. Insert the game disc into your Xbox. Press the "Power" button to turn on the console. The game will start to load.
2. Press the "Guide" button on the controller to bring up the on-screen menu. Press the yellow "Y" button, then select "Yes" from the on-screen "Are You Sure You Want to Exit" prompt. The game will exit and the main Xbox Dashboard will load.
3. Scroll to the "My Xbox" pane with the controller's directional stick.
4. Press the "Y" button on your controller. A new screen will load displaying the game's details.
5. Navigate to the "Install Game" tab.
6. Press the green "A" button to make the selection and begin the procedure. A progress bar will appear indicating the time remaining for the copy to complete.
