I think you need a Mod Chip

"XBOX Games. For using these, you need a modded XBOX. Most have been tested with X-Tender chip. Also you need to burn it to a CDRW or in case of the bigger ones, to a DVDRW. Take a look to the image if its above 701 MB, to see if it fits on a CD or not."

Okay, thanks a bunch for that.
I will eventually get a chip put in.
