Step 2: Drag default.xex to the CD Folder. If you choose to use third-party CD/DVD writing software then please follow the instructions for that software in creating a data disc with just the update on the disc.

Select "Open Writable CD Folder Using Windows Explorer" or just open the CD drive icon from Explorer. Step 1: Place a blank disc in your burner. (For illustration, we're using a CD in a CD burner, but the same steps apply with a DVD in a DVD burner.) DVDs work better than CD-Rs, which in turn work better than CDRWs. These steps will cover burning the DVD or CD with Windows and the DVD or CD burning software that is part of the operating system. To create an update disc you need the following: The update will not run automatically unless the file is named default.xex and is the only file on the disc (i.e., not in a folder or directory). If you are using an earlier version of Windows you will need a separate utility to open the zip file, like WinZip. If you are using Windows XP, you can simply open the zip file like you would a folder.

You will need to unzip the file to get the default.xex file out and put it at a location on your computer.

Save the update as default.zip-it's about 5MB. Also, with the new update, players' Microsoft account balance will now appear on-screen in the top-right corner of the Xbox Dashboard, although the feature can be disabled.By downloading this update, you agree to the software license and other related terms set forth in the Xbox Live Terms of Use, located here. Now purchase history and password resetting are easier to access, alongside a new network stats screen to check up on your console online. However, the new feature, previously available to preview program members, has been pushed out alongside a couple of other new features. Moreover, the update has also removed the Xbox 360's previous process of reserving hard drive space in advance to maximise the room on the player's drive. Apart from that, it was also revealed that the firmware refresh would roll out soon to the ones who signed up for the Xbox 360 dashboard beta programme, with a full public launch to follow soon after. Prior to the update, the previous memory cap that was set for the Xbox 360 was a mere 32GB, irrespective of whether or not you plugged in a device with large memory space. However, the latest update from Microsoft for the console isn't anything out of the blue as Microsoft had already detailed its users on a new Xbox 360 system update with the same set of support last month.
