Can't update the console

[gigabite]

Hey guys, downloaded the OS updates from xbox.com and the backwards compatibility one as well.  The backwards compatibility ones works perfect no problems but the system update one wont even start because I keep getting mixed media disk.  I tried 4 different brands of CD/DVD's (single layer not DL) but still nothing, I tried adding a junk file so maybe the console can pick it up but still nothing.  I have tried about 12 DVD's and I think 5 CD's (DVD-R DVD-RW CD-R CD-RW), I burned them how xbox.com said (as apposed to with Nero like I did with the other disk) still dosen't work.  I tried through Nero with the system update and it still dosen't work....basically nothing works for the systems update and I do not have an XBL account so I can't download the updates.  This is my own console and I have tweaked the laser on it so it reads well, I do have my HDD attached and I have tried everything and I can't think of anything else and i'm not going to waste a DL to add a 6mb file to it and then find out that that also dosen't work...any ideas ??

Not 100% sure but as far as I knew you can only get updates from Xbox LIVE.

Hey Giggles, if you have applied the 9 Jan backwards compatability update then that includes the latest 2.0.4552 update (at least it did for me - unfortunately). Check your K&D version.....
