    301 DVDs I want to get on a drive

    The 360 does recognize mp4 but you have to make sure you have the correct audio codec as it absolutely must be 2 channel aac. In other words it cant be AC3 or MP3 and it cannot be 5.1 or 6 channel or any of that stuff. Just make sure the audio is AAC dolby pro logic 2 and the 360 will...

    Installing new mb and cpu but dont have windows cd

    But the pc I purchased came with windows installed. I just want to install a new mb and cpu. So basically when you buy an oem pc and decide to upgrade you have to buy a new os because the os that came with the pc wont work when you upgrade the pc?

    Installing new mb and cpu but dont have windows cd

    So everytime you need to upgrade your motherboard you have to buy a new os as well? That doesnt make any sense at all.
