Trouble Making Backup
« on: May 18, 2006, 10:28:00 AM »
Well, I have gotten my firmware flashed with the xtrm0800.bin. I can see the drive in Windows XP, etc. I send the unlock command via dvdinfopro. I then launch isobuster, and here is where the trouble begins. First off, isobuster detects the media as a CD, as opposed to DVD. No big deal I assume. Next, I select the extract from/to option. I then follow the steps of the mksoftware tutorial which can be downloaded here at xbox-scene. Once the copying starts, I get 5% in and it stops. The copying animation does not stop and the drive is still spinning, thus I assume its encountering read errors as expected. However, I never get prompted regarding read errors. It just sits at 5% and continually tries to read. I have left it this way for an hour or more and still no change. Any ideas? (this is in regards to trying to make a backup of my original NBA Live 2006) Does it take longer than an hour to be prompted regarding the read errors? Is there perhaps a setting in the isobuster options to prompt when there is a read error? I couldnt find such an option myself. Anyways, any help is appreciated!

Sorry for the trouble that you are having, I have some of the similar things happen with mine with isobuster is also says cd instead of dvd when i extract from to and save as game.iso i do not get any errors aswell but mine did complete all the way thru til it got 100% without any error what so ever try to let it run it took mine quite some time to complete.

It is currently sitting at 5% (still) but it doesnt appear locked up or anything. Its been an hour or so now. Guess I will wait it out and see.

well, just an update. Its still at 5% BUT the file size of the iso being created is very slowly increasing. It appears (and I shouldnt be surprised) that the EA game NBA Live 2006 is a bit difficult to copy =)

ok, after waiting 5+ hours at 5% extraction in isobuster, i decided to eject the disk and see if I could get it to reread and continue copying. I ejected the disk, got the read error as described on mksoftware's tutorial and performed the following step from the manual : "Save your file as game.iso
When you receive a read error dialogue box, choose fill with blank
zeros for sector and select use this selection for all errors."

Now, the copy is finally progressing. I am currently at 10% and counting =D I will post once a successful backup is complete or if anything changes
