Xbox Backup Creator

The Ultimate Guide to Xbox

backup Creator

This tutorial will help you Rip your X360 and Xbox1 Game's using Xbox Backup Creator.
XBCr will also burn your X360 Game's using the XBCr burning engine or using imgburn
by calling Imgburn for you with all the adequate parameters. Always Check out the New
Updates and Fix's . If you require to install these applications see the end of this Guide.

Note: All Samsung SH drive's are for Computers they are not x360 drives Also you
should use the (SFDWIN Software Flash Download for Windows) Utility that comes with
it to Flash the Samsung SH drive NOT JungleFlasher. BIG NOTE: SSv2 very simply
consists of a duplicate angle value for response types 7 and 5 stored in c4eva's C/R
replay table and was added in iXtreme v1.6. Older 0800 ripping firmwares and Kreon's
firmware will record the angle just once, which results in SS v1. The problem is that
Kreon's firmware does not do an actual measurement to get the angle, but simply uses
preset angles that all games currently use and applies a small jitter to them. Storing the
angle twice allows us to be fairly certain that this is a real angle measurement made by
an actual Xbox 360 drive. Is Kreon ok

Here are a list of Drive's that are Compilable with XBCr or Schtrom the list of drive's
came from hacked firmware folder on Xbins Server:

Benq VAD6038 - FW: ix16-0800

LiteOn DG-16D2S - FW: ix16-0800
Samsung SH-D162C -FW: KREON V1.00
Samsung SH-D162D - FW: KREON V1.00
Samsung SH-D163A - FW: KREON V1.00
Samsung SH-D163B - FW: KREON V1.00
Toshiba-Samsung TS-H943 - FW: ix16-0800

Toshiba-Samsung TS-H943, Benq VAD6038, and LiteOn DG-16D2S are Xbox360 Drive's.
Note I don't recommend Hitachi-LG GDR-3120L for playing your backups, because FW
1.61 does not support the Hitachi-LG GDR-3120L drives just FW 1.51. Also you can't
backup your game's using Schtrom only with XBCr witch ant good.

Looks like we were wrong in assuming that iXtreme v1.51 was fully compatible with 4th
Wave PFI/Video. Turns out that only Hitachi iXtreme v1.51 will boot 4th Wave backups,
and BenQ/LiteOn/Samsung iXtreme v1.51 will NOT boot 4th Wave. It would have been
fully compatible if only the Video data had changed but not with the change in PFI
(capacity). So currently the only safe option for booting 4th Wave backups on a BenQ/
LiteOn/Samsung drive is to use iXtreme v1.6 and the one shot boot disc. To download
One Shot boot disc aka Activate iso open Jungleflasher then MTK Flash 32 Tab click on
Activate iso to download. What IS "Wave 4"? How-to burn Activate iso with Imgburn.
Remember this only applies to people waiting for a higher version of iXtreme Firmware
witch there is from Commodore4Eva! below.

Modified DVD Firmware

There are three version's of firmware including Secret-Service's that can boot Wave 4 or
5 Games Ok to rap this up if your using Team HyperX iXtreme v1.61 Samsung and BenQ
FW Launched Oct 30 2009 You Can't Play Online God knows how long the C4E's
iXtreme LT FW is going to last online then again I don't care for online, so you got C4eva
Team Jungle LiteOn iXtreme v1.61 ix for the Liteon's that launched Dec 28 2009 not to
long after C4eva started to see the Community modding his Firmware witch was iXtreme
v1.6 Non-Stealth Patched to always act like if activate.iso was inserted, so blindly loads
PFI DMI SS etc, Posted by Arakon on xboxhacker Plus Secret-Service's BenQ IX 1.41
Final Rev3-4 (SS) Non-Stealth 12X This firmware is based on the firmware from C4EVA.
All credits to C4EVA.

What firmware to use well it's up to you, if it's a Liteon drive that's clear C4E's iXtreme
LT FW what about Benq/Samsung well there's Team HyperX iXtreme v1.61 Samsung and
BenQ FW that can boot Wave 4 and 5 games without any problems that I can say for
sure because I got Team HyperX iXtreme v1.61 FW on my Benq witch I Highly
Recommend you have if you got a Benq/Samsung and waiting for C4E's iXtreme LT FW.
You don't care about Stealth you can try iXtreme v1.6 Non-Stealth Patched witch seems
to work from what the community is saying, I wouldn't use it but supports all drives.

Now the BenQ IX 1.41 Final Rev3-4 (SS) Non-Stealth why the hell would you want to
use this version if iXtreme v1.6 Non-Stealth Patched can boot Non-Stealth Games or for
that matter Why use iXtreme v1.6 Non-Stealth if C4E's iXtreme LT FW can do Waveless
booting, if you got a Benq/Samsung drive iXtreme v1.6 Non-Stealth Patched might be
good because Team HyperX iXtreme v1.61 FW got Strict Wave 4 compliance means
wave 4 games will only boot if they have correct PFI/DMI/SS and timestamp read the
Readme that comes with everything for more info. This only applies to people waiting for
a higher version of iXtreme Firmware witch there is from Commodore4Eva! below.

There are two versions of Firmware one for playing your game's and ix16-0800 being a
dedicated "ripping" drive "Update" in the new Team HyperX iXtreme 1.61 FW for Benq
and Samsung drives you can Rip and play your backup's using the same drive, but I
Recommend you get two drives one for Ripping and one for playing your game's,
Because future updates might not include 0800 like Team HyperX iXtreme v1.61 FW did
and taking the x360 to your Computer to make backups of game's ant going to be fun,
so again I highly Recommend you get a x360 drive for your Ripping needs and leave the
one in your x360 for playing games. Samsung and BenQ iXtreme v1.61 or C4E's iXtreme
LT Firmware To download iXtreme look in Xbox-existence Links or keep reading this
Guide.

C4eva Team Jungle LiteOn iXtreme v1.61 Added support for waves 4 and 5 There's no
NFO with the release, but unlike iX 1.6 'non-stealth' release I believe this release still
has all stealth features but with modified checks to also allow/boot Wave 4 and Wave 5
Games. C4E's iXtreme Lite Touch (LT) in association with Team Jungle & Team Xecuter.

Hitachi GDR-3120L: ix v1.51 FW

Benq VAD6038: Team HyperX ix v1.61 FW or C4eva-Team Jungle iXtreme LT v1.2 FW
Toshiba-Samsung TS-H943: Team HyperX ix v1.61 FW or C4eva-Team Jungle iXtreme

What to do then Future Waves come out?

If your drive is flashed with a older version of firmware that only supports Wave 4 or
Wave 5 a updated maybe needed to play future games example: Red Dead Redemption
is Wave 6 and if your x360 drive is flashed with say Team HyperX iXtreme 1.61 FW that
got Strict Wave 4 compliance means wave 4 games will only boot if they have correct
PFI/DMI/SS etc that game might not boot at all.

If the game do manage to boot what about the $systemupdate$ that got to be applied to
play the game this can leaded to The Ban Hammer if you ever go online again, because
Microsoft can detect older versions of firmware so you should update the x360 drive
before applying system updates. Remember if your x360 can do Waveless booting and
don't care for online you may get away with it, but I wouldn't go back online. You can
also use utility's to remove $systemupdate$ witch are used for people that have JTAG
systems.

History behind Firmware modification

A overview of the history behind firmware modification & the creation and conclusion of
the team formerly 'Team jungle' and the story of an unsuccessful extortion. All views
expressed are documented between several members of Team Jungle,THX and the scene
and are not opinions expressed by Xbox-Scene.
The "Team Jungle" twitter going on is being done by the developer of Jungle Flasher,
who is communicating c4e's progress. While c4e did the firmware mods for THQ, he
unfortunately helped push forward the demise of the group and has gone his own way.
He also was planning ANOTHER pay-for-key licensing program with iXtreme. Read this
about the LT (Lite Touch) on forums.xbox-scene.com

After a great deal of development and anticipation we are pleased to announce for the
first time that Team Xecuter are giving direct support to C4EVA to help his development
capabilities and to make sure that the scene get's the best work from the scene's #1 360
firmware coder - for absolutely no cost at all times. Naturally donations are always
welcome :p Our thanks goes to Commodore4eva (C4EVA) and Team Jungle for their
hard work in giving the scene these fantastic products.

How do I Flash my x360 drive?

For More information read JungleFlasher's Tutorial and JungleFlasher TroubleShooting

hardware support plus more tutorial's check out Technical DVD-ROM and Modified DVD
Firmware Forum Read the Rules before Posting Anything.

What Is The Best And Easiest x360 Drive To Flash?

Benq VAD6038 you need no DVDKey Extract like the LiteOn's no extra work that's need
when flashing Hitachi-LG GDR-3120L with iXtreme Firmware, noting but a SATA Cable
and Power to the drive. A Samsung SH FW: KREON V1.00 with this drive you can only do
one thing and that's backup your game's "No Write" just "Read" Also you should use the
(SFDWIN Software Flash Download for Windows) Utility that comes with it to Flash the
Samsung SH drive NOT JungleFlasher witch is use to flash 0800 and iXtreme/(LT)
Firmware.

I Personally don't recommend Kreon drives anymore because of the problems with SSv2
Read Is Kreon Ok. The Benq/T-Samsung/LiteOn x360 drives can be flashed with
ix16-0800 Firmware, The ix16-0800 is a dedicated "ripping" Firmware Only, Not to play
games on. I Recommend you get two drives one for Ripping and one for playing game's
or use the one in your x360 but you need that DVDKey from your Original drive before
flashing any x360 drive with iXtreme to play Backup Game's.

If you get a second x360 drive from say eBay the DVDKey that's on it don't mean
anything to you Why because it belongs to another Xbox360 that no longer works or got
Damage aka (RROD Red Ring of Death). Remember future updates might not include
0800 like Team HyperX iXtreme v1.61 FW did and taking the x360 to your Computer to
make backups of game's ant going to be fun, Don't forget about a good Dual Layer DVD
drive for burning your game's after you backed them up.

How do I Power my x360 drive?

For powering the x360 drive when flashing or making backups of game's your going to
need the DVD Drive Power Adapter V3 for the PC witch you can fine on eBay sold by
diygadget plus Xecuter CK3 Lite or Xecuter CK3 Pro (Rev D) from team-xecuter and
Xtractor 2 from 360xtractorpro. Also you can check out xbox-scene.com/shops

What is the best burner?

Samsung SH-S223 DL DVD drive and when looking for a version like this one any Letter
after 3 means Updated FW from the manufacturer or more Features. Also your DVD
drive might support DL Media check the specs on the manufacturer's website or the
place you got it from. More Info Coming!

What DVD+R DL Media to Use?

The X-S have been using Verbatim 95310 20 Pack DVD+R DL Spindle for along time so
there should be no problems burning your games using the right burn Speed read on for
more info on Write Speeds using Verbatim disc.

My burner doesn't support 2.4x?

If your drive can't burn at 2x using Verbatim 95310 20 Pack DVD+R DL Spindle try
Verbatim 95484 15 Pack DVD+R DL Spindle witch is Rated for 8x and should be burned
at 4x read on for more info on Write Speeds using Verbatim disc.

What is DVD-9 - 8.5GB?

A DVD-9 is constructed of two stamped substrates bonded together to form two

recorded layers for one side of the disc, along with a blank substrate for the other side.
The outer stamped Layer (0) is coated with a semitransparent gold coating to both
reflect light if the laser is focused on it and pass light if the laser is focused on the layer
below. A single laser is used to read both layers; only the focus of the laser is changed.

I have no idea what the x360 was modded with?

You need to know what drive you got in there and what version of Firmware is Spoofed.
Look at the drive by ejecting your x360 drive to see and comparing it with the images
below, from there your can decide what version of firmware you need to flash your x360
with.

Liteon 83850-v2 and Liteon 93450 DVD Key Can Now Be Dumped?

There have been several news reports on forums of users having success in dumping the
entire firmware including the important keys of the newest un-moddable Liteon DVD
drives. The methods posted so far are not for the beginner so do so at your own risk.
The method seem crude at the moment, no doubt some easier methods will surface
shortly. Remember with that DVD key you can install any flash-able DVD drive to that
once un-moddable Xbox 360.

Good job to all involved! Inspired by this great idea, diygadget and team-xecuter have
found a way to do the trick without soldering witch should be good news for people that
can't solder. M$ Launch's (93450) Fw because of C4eva! #1 360 firmware coder. Note:
With Liteon drives the Original firmware can NOT be Restored so there's no going back
when you flash your Liteon drive. Unless you did the MRA Hack method.

The Overview of Firmware versions 74850C, 83850C, 83850Cv2, 93450C

With the release of the 83850C firmware , LiteOn drives required two totally different
methods. With the release of the 83850C v2 and the 93450C there was no known way to
extract the key.

However there is now a method to dump the whole FW from any of these LiteOn drives!
(which is the ONLY method to get the key from the 83850C v2 & the 93450C) Although
MRA method works on all (current) LiteOn's - DVDKey32 / LO83Info will always remain
the simpler method to obtain info from earlier drives. As you should know there are
currently 2 brands of memory chipsets embeded into the Liteon Drives, one is Macronix
(Vendor ID 0xC7), other is Winbond (Vendor ID 0xEF).

The 74850C requires additional hardware (it requires the utilization of a RS232 to TTL
serial hardware, or a popular variant such as Xecuter CK3 Pro or Xecuter CK3 Lite with
the Xecuter Probe (v1 or v2) or Maximus USBXtractor & powerunit or or Maximus
Xtractor (with optional spear) to obtain the drive specific data (key/inquiry/identify/
Serial) which once extracted are used to create the dummy.bin.

Whereas the 83850C v1 does NOT require additional hardware and can be dumped/
flashed using only a SATA connection. The key/inquiry/identify/serial files are merged
into a dummy.bin (this allows for easy manipulation of the drive info for placing into the
iXtreme firmware). They contain information that is required for proper identification and
security related issues.

The 83850C v2 was quickly released to combat key retrieval by the earlier methods so
key retrieval using 83850C v1 or original method was no longer an option! This change
occurred around July/Aug 09 drive manufacture dates. There is no outward difference
between the 83850C v1 and the 83850C v2 – the only way to discover which you have is
to try the 83850C v1 method! If successful you have the version 1 – IF NOT
Jungleflasher will tell you, you have an 83850C v2 and Lo83 function is ONLY for v1.

The 93450C quickly followed – Once again key retrieval was not an option with simple
sata commands or probe used for 74850C Now available, is a method to dump the whole
firmware from ALL current LiteOn Drives – The MRA Hack method is a little more
complex than previous methods and requires some soldering skills and cutting and
reconnection of traces on the PCB! However there are now some other options available
– the best of these are described in Jungleflasher tutorial. Note: You CANNOT SPOOF a
LiteOn Drive with LT Firmware as a DIFFERENT DRIVE.

Tip: When opening XBCr and the following Error POP's UP on screen image below don't
Freak Out! you have a CD/DVD disc in the Computer drive, take out the CD/DVD in the
Computer drive and restart XBCr then everything should be fine. If the Error continues
when Ripping you may need Schtrom360Xtract because XBCr needs updating, XBCr can
Rip everything From Sep/Oct 2009 back including Original Xbox Games.

Note: Due to an issue that affects the Liteon ix1.6 it is advised that you start
XBCr without a DVD in the drive. Witch I recommend you do even if you got a
higher version FW eject then start XBCr.

Open Xbox Backup Creator if you don't have XBCr download here or Xbins FTP Server.
Select Options Tab and make sure ever thing is Set to default Click "Reset To Default"
selecting your Drive and the Version for the Disc Xbox360 or Xboxone is ok, but you
really don’t have to do this because it's Automatic. Never Change the Speed from 12X,
"On Disc Read Error" just means how many times it try's to read after Failing the First
time and make sure "Build SplitVid ISO" is Checked witch it should be after Clicking
"Reset To Default". "Log Detail Level" Detailed watch your Running Log when Ripping
game's and when done ripping go over the Running Log to see if everything went fine.
Besides you don't have to Select anything because everything is Automatic and this
Guide was put together for X-S + PowerUsers, so if you feel Overwhelmed by the
settings just stick to your One Click Backup witch I don't Recommend.
Now select your Kreon drive flashed with Kreon Firmware witch I don't Recommend
because of SSv2 or Toshiba-Samsung, Benq, Liteon Drive flashed with ix16-0800, if not
already selected and Select "SPTI".
Place your Xbox 360 Game into your Kreon, Toshiba-Samsung, Benq, or Liteon drive.
Confirm Image Style is set to "Complete Backup" and then hit the "Start" Button as per
the picture below watch the (Running Log) for any Errors. After inserting a disk it may
take a few seconds for it to be recognized. If it does not populate and enable the buttons
after more than 30 seconds press CTRL-R to force a refresh. You can Press CTRL-L
Show/Hide Running Log also CTRL-C to Cancel current operation...

NOTE: Using Wxripper and a hitachi drive: Not recommended anymore. It seems
the SS extracted with Hitachi drive should not be used because easier to detect. You
should extract your backups with a Toshiba-Samsung, Benq, or Liteon drive using
XBCreator/Schtrom. You would then be able to do a "Complete backup" so no point in
extracting separate pieces and merging. (Search YouTube for Wxripper this way is not
Recommend anymore, usually referred as Hot Swapping).

What is SplitVid?

Before Splitvid: Splitvid is in fact an adapted version of the traditional Xtreme format
used up to XBC 2.6/Schtrom 3.3. The traditional Xtreme format backup have both part
of the video partition on layer 0. Current hacked firmware will manage the request for
the video partition sector of layer 1 such that they appear as being in their right place
even if in fact recovered from layer 0 (thks to C4Eva) He's the man. As a result, if the
disk is queried for the various sectors, they appear at their proper place.

Splitvid: The new splitvid format respects the format of an original disc by having the
video partition on layer 1 as per the original. It also maintain a copy of the layer 1 video
partition on layer 0 such that it respect the traditional Xtreme format. Both format are
included so you lose nothing by using it. For more information Read this and the
Rules before Posting. Note: Backups need to have SplitVid from now on to be safe for LT,
official release of the iXtreme LT uses Split-Vid as default.
Save your Image file to a directory on your Hard Drive, also provide a name for the
image accordingly (you will need at least ~8gb free space), once you are done, hit the
"Save" button - Xbox Backup Creator will go ahead and Rip the game onto your Hard
Drive....

Please be patient while the Software creates an image of your Xbox 360 Game and
watch your Running Log when Ripping your game's..

When completed, you will get a 7 651 848KB ISO ( or 7.29GB) or 7,651,262KB
depending on the x360 games.

If you do not activate the Splitvid then the files will be 7,395,392KB (or 7.05GB).

The .iso for Xbox1 will be 7,258,816KB (or 6.92GB without splitvid) (with splitvid
7.28GB) My Star Wars Episode III Revenge of The Sith came back this size.

To display the right information in the Running Log before Ripping Go to "Drive Tools"
click Unlock drive to make the Running Log display the Size, you really don’t have to do
this because everything is Automatic when using XBCr.

Note: Try not to use (dots .) before the last letter in the name example .x, .bat, .exe or
anything like it second Example Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X not thinking I put a (dot .) before
the x and there's changing it from ISO format to X format, after XBCr was done ripping
the game the name the of it was Tom Clancy's H.A.W and placed Notepad icon on the
7.29GB file witch should of been in ISO format. As you can see in the image above Save
as type: ISO should be selected by default, try not to use (dots.) in the names of your
Games.

Tip: Make sure you File System on the drives are NTFS and not FAT32 formatted, as
FAT32 has a 4gb file size limit, to fine out goto My Computer Right click on the drive
your backing you game's up to and select Properties look at File System NTFS format.
Once Xbox Backup Creator has finished Ripping the contents of the disk - Please close
out of the Application... then run Schtrom360 Xtract or ABGX360 to Stealth Check your
Game before going ahead Read my Abgx360 Gui Guide and Schtrom360 Xtract
S360X v4.1 Guide in Xbox360 Archive. Stealth Checking verbiage/intent removed,
XBC only does limited checking. Stealth Check got remove from v2.9.0.306. If you want
to use XBCr to burn the Games after running Stealth Check with S360X (Schtrom360
Xtract) or ABGX360 read on...

Note: I Recommend you Stealth Check with Schtrom just to be safe: You want to see
"Overall Results: PASSED" then it is all good. (You can ignore the message about not
being in the stealth list, another DBase message) If Schtrom360Xtract are out of date
your going to need Xbins Downloader connect to there FTP Server, Download the most
up to date software from there you can also fine other Software/Firmware needed to
flash and backup your x360 Game's. If you Don't want to download this you can follow
the Tutorial on xbox-scene.com
Open Xbox Backup Creator again - Now set your Drive to be your DVD DL Writer
example I have selected my Samsung DVD Dual Layer Writer "NOT" your Kreon or x360
drive because it’s only for Reading (Ripping) not Writing (Burning).

Tip: Did you know Burning a CD or DVD heats up 400F to 600F, Put your hand on the
DVD and feel how warm it is when your done burning your Game %100 on that Exam PC
Repair.
Select the "Write" tab and check "Imgburn" as your Burning engine...leave all else at
defaults...

Note: When used through XBCr do not set the layerbreak to manual, XBCr will manage
this for you. In Image Burn goto Tools>>Settings >>Write>>Options >>Layerbreak
should be “Calculate Optimal” just to be sure.
Place a blank DVD+R DL 8.5GB not a DVD 4.7GB Disk into your Dual Layer DVD Writer,
wait for the application to recognize the blank DVD (can sometimes take up to 1
minute)....and select writing speed (slower is not better, typically burn verbatim 2.4x at
rated speed and verbatim 8x at rated or 4x) If the start button remains grey, you have
not selected the proper drive or do not have a DVD +R DL in the drive then hit the
"Start" Button. Read about the Booktype DVD-Rom under Imgburn Install at the end
of this Guide!

Select the .DVD file you have just created from the Ripping Section of this guide (NOT
the .ISO which will make a difference) - Then click on " Open ". I have two Copy's of
Borderlands for more information about this Read my Abgx360 Gui Guide and
Schtrom360 Xtract S360X v4.1 Guide in Xbox360 Archive.

The .dvd file is created by Xbox Backup Creator the information in the file can be viewed
by opening it with NotePad or NotePad++ download here or use one provided by
Windows to open NotePad type notepad in the Run under the Start button drag the .dvd
in notepad to view it, this is not need because XBCr creates one for you Automatic,
what's in it? LayerBreak=1913760 and GameName.ISO. Quick Tip on layerbreak - it
doesn't need to be set if you use imgburn through Xbox Backup Creator because XBCr
will set it to optimal settings within the app itself.

LayerBreak=1913760
Mercenaries 2.iso

Imgburn will start the Writing process automatically - No more user input is needed.
Please wait while your image is burned onto your DVD+R DL Disk....ImgBurn will provide
you with an estimated completion time....

I'm just burning a movie to show you guys what Imgburn looks like when your game
start's to burn and read Some Common Problems at the end of this Guide, keep a eye
on your Running Log image Below...
This Guide was written for the Community & Members of forums.xbox-scene.com and
no one else!

IMGBURN INSTALL
You can download Imgburn at imgburn , and use the installer.

When used through XBCr do not set the layerbreak to manual, XBCr will manage this for
you. In ImgBurn goto Tools>>Settings>>Write>>Options >>Layerbreak should be
“Calculate Optimal”. If you don't want to use ImgBurn through XBCr and just ImgBurn
alone Select “User Specified” enter the LayerBreak number 1913760 in “Sectors in L0”.

With the latest x360 firmware the booktype setting at DVD-ROM is not required, but it
does not hurt. You can set it in Tools>>Drive>>Change Book Type/'Your burner Brand'
select 'Change For:' to a 'DVD +R DL MEDIA' and in 'New Setting' choose DVD-ROM +
hit Change. Note this can only be done with a DVD + DL disc in the drive.

Book Type is Selected Automatic when using Imgburn look under "Write Tab" for the
Option. Also your drive might not be support by Imgburn for this, Book Type is Selected
Automatic when using Imgburn look under "Write Tab" for the Option. If the Drive in
Tools are grey Press Ctrl+Alt+W Hover over the Icon's Under "Setting" Change Book
Type then repeat the first step above.

You can get XBC from the Download Section and extract it in a directory, nothing more
to do. Simply run “Xbox Backup Creator.exe”.

Imgburn (and Nero) if they are already installed on your PC will show in the scroll
window when XBCr starts (Running Log)

1) If imgburn is not listed in the windows, you can open the selection window by using
the button beside imgburn in XBCr.

2) and indicating the location of the “ImgBurn.exe”.

If you have problems loading XBCr make sure you have .NET installed (windows
updater), and VB6 runtimes + mscomctl.ocx . Only do this step if you have problems.
After installing .net your going to need the SP1 for .net Type "wupdmgr" in Run Under
Start to Update the .net to the last SP. Windows 7 has .net build in, Love 7 Check out
the Windows 7 Product Guide to see what OS you would Like. lol Love 7, Windows
Vista/7 Please use the included installer. Some people had to turn on User Account
Control (UAC) and make sure it was run as admin.
Not seeing your TS-H943A: Turn off the "FW Branding Check" on the options tab unless
you need it (A hitachi branded as samsung or opposite). For those using a VIA6421 card,
you should try using the version 5.2 of the Via drivers (here)

SOME COMMON PROBLEMS WITH SATA/ATAPI DVD-ROM AN ERRORS WHEN

RIPPING

SATA/ATAPI CD-ROM or DVD Drive Runs Slowly

If your SATA/ATAPI CD-ROM or DVD drive performs poorly, check the following items:

Check the cache size in the Performance tab of the System Properties control panel.
Select the quad-speed setting (largest cache size).

Check to see whether the drive is set as the slave to your hard disk; move the drive to
the secondary controller if possible.

Your PIO (Programmed I/O) or UDMA mode might not be set correctly for your drive in
the BIOS; check the drive specs and use autodetect in BIOS for the best results Google
it.

Check that you are using busmastering drivers on compatible systems; install the
appropriate drivers for the motherboard's chipset and the operating system in use. See
"Direct Memory Access and Ultra-DMA," Google it.

Ripping is extremely long (30+ minutes): Your Drive is probably not in DMA Mode (Went
in PIO Mode). You can change that in Device Manager and can easily be found via
Google it.

Getting an Error during the Rip

You have this with all your games then it is probably a setup problem, if you are using a
SH-D162C witch I don't Recommend because of SSv2 you can try moving it Primary/
Secondary IDE and Master/Slave.

You have that with only one game then clean your disk very well. If that does not
resolve it could be your original is damage or marginal (see this post).

During the burn if you are getting “Session Fixation Errors”, “Optimum Power Calibration
failures”, or “Invalid Write Address failures”, they are usually due to low quality media or
a defective burner if you were using adequate media for more information read Best
