Chapter 4: Installing SID 4.5 on your Xbox
Copying the Gamesave to your Memory Card / USB Device
The three most popular ways to install the Gamesave (which is the .zip or .gsx files that you have in this directory) are the following:
Action Replay: US Official Website - European Official Website
GameShark: Official Website
Mega X-Key: Official Website
Just a quick tip about memory cards, reports have come in about 3rd-party cards not working properly, you can check the Xbox-Hq Memory Card Database for more information. The most reliable way would be a Mega X-Key in my opinion, which uses the same format as Action Replay for Gamesaves.
The Action Replay and Mega X-Key will only be able to use the .zip files, and the GameShark can only use the .gsx files.
To copy the game save over to your device, these programs support the drag and drop feature just like Windows. So, open your desired program and then drag and drop the .zip or .gsx file to the memory card. In about half a minute or so it should be done.
There are 5 files in the SID package, you will need to transfer TWO of these to your Xbox (this is a little different from the older SID systems so please beware). You need the main installer file, and the Gamesave for the game you wish to use. Heres what the files do:
SID45.NK.Installer - The main Installer
SID45.NK.Loader.007AUF - Loader for 007 Agent Under Fire
SID45.NK.Loader.Mechassault - Loader for Mechassault
SID45.NK.Loader.SplinterCell.NTSC - Loader for Splinter Cell (NTSC Version)
SID45.NK.Loader.SplinterCell.PAL - Loader for Splinter Cell (PAL Version)

5) Once you have successfully copied over all required Gamesaves to your Xbox HDD you can now continue to boot the original game (007, Mechassault, or Splinter Cell) and install your Softmod. Restart your Xbox and load the game of your choice into your Xbox DVD-Rom drive.
