Hi,
quick n00b question cause I can't seem to find a straight answer around here.
I have my 360 on ixtreme 1.61. I haven't used xbox live on this console at all yet.

But is it safe to do a system update on live with a flashed drive? Will it remove the ability to play backups?

Thanks for your time and help.

The main menu section answers this within the first TEN, very, VERY, short paragraphs of NEED to know, and commonly asked questions (this being one of them)...  I Don't know why you people refuse to read.  Maybe schools aren't teaching it anymore...
