There is no better way IMHO.

Burn Slayers to a CD-RW, & boot the XBOX off the disk.

You will then be presented with various upgrade/install menus.

It will fit onto a CD-RW, so it's a bit of a waste burning to DVD, but yes-you could do it that way.

Because most XBOX's can't read CD-R's, they can all read CD-RW & DVD, but very few can read CDR's.
