thx in advance
 
what burner did u use
what discs did u use
what software to burn
what firmware on ur 360

and then u may be able to get some help of one of the pro's
 
pioneer dvd109 d/l burner
fjuifilm dvd+r d/l discs
nero express

can u tell me were to find wat firmware as dont know where to look
 
U want CloneCD and maybe some different discs m8.
 
like above mate use cloneCD 5.3.0.1

AND is your 360 flashed to play backups??
 
its a freinds x box , it is flashed to play back ups as they had a few a freind of thiers did for them and they work fine

how do i find the firmware version ?
 
CloneCD will tell u in the right hand pane where it says Revision
Start > settings > control panel > system > hardware > device manager > CD/DVD > drive name > details
or Nero should tell u under the recorder tab too.
 
ok mate 1st try to burn 1 disc with clone cd pioneer 109 is fine to use never tried the discs tho
like above 1st step burn a game using clone see what the outcome is
 
have just downloaded clone , am gonna try to copy the disc onto another make of disc , cant do much other than that as am round a freinds house at the min , so am using there burner and there memorex d/l discs

still not to sure wat firmware the x box has on it as dont know where to find it

will see wat happens wen the disc has finished burning
 
If your drive is flashed with the latest iXtreme firmware then it will only allow properlly stealth patched games to boot, I've had to binned most of my games since upgrading to the latest firmware.

Take your image and run it through the Mullet stealth checker, it will tell you wetehr or not the game is properlly patched.

If it is patched then it may be your brand of discs that your DVD reader doesn't like.

With regards to checking the firmware, you can't i'm afraid, unless your remove the drive and read the firmware.
 
clone read the info of the disc and put the files on the desktop , then it asked for the source to be taken out and dest disc to be put in , i then clicked on ok and the drawer went in with the disc , the light then flashed to say the disc was in the drive , now just have a window on screen with the disc rolling towards the burner and just saying waiting for dvd drive xxxx , but not writing nothing .
 
are u trying to copy a game? from a disc or a downloaded game?
if disc is it a original or a backup
?

if its a bacup then use clone to read to file (make a file on desctop called watever you want) clik red to file clik were to save to(the file you created)
wate for it to complete(usually 15-20mins) the insert your empty disc klik write from file in clone browse to the folder u created and load the .dvd file hit next choose speed and burn


if its original then theres a lotttttttttttt more to it and more equiment required
 
it was game i downloaded at home , and burnt to a dl disc , tried it in freinds xbox which has ability to play back ups , so thought i would try to copy the info from the disc and write to one of there discs .
 
clone read the info from disc and put about 8 or 9 images on desktop one of them being image.dvd , just clicked on write from file in clone , browse to the desktop clicked on the file and it just hanging there saying waiting for drive
 
God knows what Neros done, so now you're copying a bad burn (from nero) and your friend's drive doesn't like the blanks (with cloneCD) - saves u another bad burn then :)
Take the blank disc out and go back, burn it again from the original downloaded iso files with cloneCD m8
 
just got back home and have downloaded clone onto my comp , have clicked on write from file in clone to the folder were the iso is , it didnt highlight the iso , it gave a pcn-rrr.dvd file to choose , then gave me the option to choose speed , clicked on next and started to burn disc , will pop back round mates with disc later and see wat happens , fingers crossed
 
well it seemed that using clonecd and then choosing the pcn-rrr.dvd and burning that to the disc did the trick , game playing fine now

thx for the help guys , much appreciated

also found out tha mates writer only writes to + - r / rw discs and not to d/l discs , so they goin to get a d/l writer
 
excelent matey glad for you if your mate gettin new drive the pioneeer 112 is the best rated and is easily available for under 20 sheets
 
yep the pioneer 112 is the drive was lookin at earlier , gonna have a look around at the comp fair at the weekend and hopefully pick one up there
 
have a similar prob.. flashed my hitachi 46 with c4eva 2.4 firmware i think, Burned with imgburn via .dvd file changed bitsetting to dvd-rom on my lg drive. All burnt ok but got unreadable disk error and open tray on dashboard with disk in..

These dl disks work fine for wmvhd movies.. Tried the "rubberband" fix or at least it variation for hitachi drives but this just give unreadable disk.

you think cloneCD might give better results? or would the POT settings need changed or something?
