I recently purchased a SHD-162C because I was tried of doing extra stuff to burn games. The drive worked for reading and backing up about 6 games, but now the drive wont read the discs and just pretty much locks up after I put a game into the drive? I have no idea what is going on it just started doing it. Also if I put the game in before I open the XBC program the program wont open until I eject the drive. ANY HELP PLEASE??
It first locked up when I tried to backup crackdown, but Yes its locking up with all games, and I have tried schtrom, that doesnt work for me either. Has anyone else had this problem?
Make sure you are turning off every needless program youve got running. Sounds like your system is out of resources. AnyDVD makes it impossiable to backup on my system if its running you may have a similar problem.
I am having the same problem and I have tried reflashing too many times. It seems like everytime I shut my pc down it stops reading 360 games. I tried using schtrom and it gives me some type of error also. I must have reflashed the drive live 15 times. When it does work, it reads real slow. By the way, this is a brand new drive that I got yesterday. Please help someone. Thanx.
most new games like crackdown, earth defense, going as far back as fusion frenzy 2 and star trek require you to copy the ss, pfi, and iso to the hard drive seperately. then merge them together with ssmerge, and finally burn. You may be having issues from not doing enouf research.
yes games like crackdown startrek have had the issue of burning the iso to hard drive and the ss and other files seperate.
use isobuster to burn the .iso do this by clicking on the dvd icon and right clicking and choose (EXTRACT-FROMTO). and u can use xbox back up creator to do the ss and other two u need
when in xbox back up creator click the unlock drive tool twice
dont select complete back select current partition and then go into image tools and save the ss pfi and dmito the same folder u did the .iso and then use ss merger to merge all 4 and u will get in the same foler as the .iso a .dvd file then just use img burn to burn the .dvd file and it will work i had to use this method for advance warfighter1 and i know this method is used for startrek and crackdown
