It doesn't matter what Modchip you use.

DVD-RW don't work.

The Wii Is very picky (some more than others) about the media. It has been well documented (anecdotally) that rewritables don't work.

I cannot speak to the Drivekey because I use WiiKey and Wiikey2.

I have chipped a few Wii's (20+) so far and have not had any problem. Alot of the issues that you have here are most probably down to faulty Mod chips and the type of media you are using for your backups. Burned well in excess of 200 back ups and probably have had maybe 2% not work - usually down to the a bad disc or the pc/desk being knocked while burning.

My golden rules:

1. Get quality ISOs plenty of places you can get them - ( use a rapidshare or megashare account - I find torrents are a waste of time as you really dont know what you are getting.)

2. Buy best quality media --- DVD-r ONLY - I use Sony 50DMR47BSP and 50DMR47ASP4's if I am printing the disc afterwards. DO not use DVD-RWs the dye in the disc is different.

3. Do not use Disk Labels on your disks .. they throw the disk of balance when playing.

4. Burn your ISOs using ImgBurn -- its FREE and good.

5. Burn at 4x or as slow as possible - dont be tempted to use the pc for other work while burning.

5. Make sure your disc are totally spotless before you burn them - no scratches or fingerprints on the blank - these will affect the quality of the end product.
