hey, please help,
got all the correct drives read/write
using image burn and the sctrom software,
games work but sometimes it comes up with unplayable disc how can i stop this from happening completly? burn at 2.4x use photo printable verbatim 8x... doing everything correctly just this stupid little problem...please help
if you know someone else that has a flashed console try your games in theirs, if it works perfect, your drive is going bad. you could also change the read speed of your drive, and your burn speed, not everyone needs to burn at 2.4x some need to burn at 4x.
thanx, do you mean the read speed on the xbox360 if so how do you change that? hitachi drives are sposed to be tempermental tho.. would i need to flash my xbox agen if i changed the drive to a samsung drive?
Ok, so I have an Hitachi 49, and I have been fighting with the damn thing reading my backups since I flashed it. It would read them sometimes and other times I would recieve the grand message "uplayable disc"
So I started with Memorex DVD's and it would read sometimes and not others so I posted to the forums and most everyone replied with "USE VERBATIMS." So at the time I didn't have any money to buy more DVD's at the time so I was hoping to find another fix by searching and reading through the forums. So I got some money and bought some Sony DVD's which had decent reviews and well my drive wouldn't even read them at all. So I then returned them to Best Buy and exchanged them for Verbatims. Well I went home burnt it and put in and it worked so I thought well my problem is solved played some Madden games on Live! and put in Dead Space, didn't read. SAME DAMN PROBLEM - 3 types of with all the same result, I was so pissed. So I then figured it was the ROM within the xbox. I was then going to go get a new xbox and flash it and see how it goes but I had an epiphany take apart the ROM and clean the laser. Which I did with rubbing alchohol.
Since then my xbox hasn't given me an "Unplayable Disc" message. And trust me I put in 30 different games and then turned it off for a while and did the same thing and it worked fine. Even had some Memorex backups I had burned that read fine.
SO IF YOUR HAVING PROBLEMS READING BACKUPS TRY CLEANING THE LASER IT DOESN'T HURT A THING!
Exact same problem here with a 49 Hitachi. One thing I noticed is that my DVD burner does not support BITSETTING which according to the tutorials, it will more likely increase compatibility. My guess is that if your Hitachi gives the unreadable disc erro on bakups but still play originals, it's more likely a compatibility issue.
I just ordered a samsung DVD burner w/bitsetting at newegg, hopefully that'll solve the problem. They're selling a lite-on for like 22 bucks free shipping. you might just wanna go grab one.
ohh. bitsetting ok, all games work for me its just sometimes they fail to read then i try them agen and there ok..lol i know only certain drives burn 360 games and the one ive got woz the reccomended one to use pioneer 116d.. i think i may of just sorted it though..i was burning at 2.4x and changed to 2x i think anyway and it sorted i hope
the best way to fix the unreadable disk problem,,install the new dashboard and the install your games to the harddrive,,even the ones that are giving you problems will install and game on,,it just check to se if you have the game on disk even backups work,,then it will boot from the harddrive,,and boy does the game play ever smooth,,,finally MS did something right,,,no more unreadable or dirty dis problems,,cheers
