Burn a DVD or CD
The other possibility is to download a file from Xbox.com and burn a DVD or CD. Use this method if you don't have your console connected to broadband, or if you use a dialup connection to the Internet. You could even do this at a friend's house who has a broadband Internet connection and a DVD or CD burner.
To create an update disc you need the following:
A DVD or CD burner.
A blank writeable DVD or CD.
The update file from Xbox.com.
This procedure involves burning the DVD or CD by using Microsoft Windows DVD or CD burning software. If you're using third-party CD/DVD writing software, follow the instructions for creating a data disc.
The same steps apply when burning a DVD in a DVD burner.
To create a DVD or CD:
Click here to begin downloading the update folder. Save it as "$SystemUpdate_[date].zip" anywhere on your computer.
Place a blank disc in your burner.
From Windows Explorer, select Open Writable CD Folder Using Windows Explorer or open the CD drive icon.
Drag the zipped $SystemUpdate zip folder to the CD Folder. If the CD write window doesn't open by default, drag and drop folder on the CD/DVD RW drive.
Note
If you are using an earlier version of Windows you will need to open the file using a separate utility (for example, WinZip).
In the Explorer window, click Write files to CD from the CD writing tasks or right-click the CD/DVD RW drive and select Write these files to CD.
Caution
The update filename and folder structure must be intact for the update to run properly.
Follow the steps in the CD wizard.
When you are finished with the wizard, the CD will eject. Your CD is ready.
To update the console:
Place the CD in the Xbox 360 console.
Power cycle the Xbox 360 console.
The update program will start automatically. Select "Yes, update now" and press the A button.
Wait for the update to complete.
The console will reboot and you're done.
