Any ideas?

give us some info so we can help you.

what exactly is the problem?

[Jakerzon]

If something works one time and then not the next, even though you did exactly the same thing, then it could be one of several things. Generally speaking, it's almost never the hardware giving you the problem, although, there are times when all indications point to it. In my experience, it's usually best to make sure everything is updated. That is to say, firmwares, mobo drivers, maybe even the BIOS, but not usually. Once you have that checked and working, you have to find something else that could be faulty... like another program perhaps creating a conflict with the kreon drive or the xbox creator program itself.
I can remember a few times my GRAPHICS CARD wouldn't let my wired netgear PCI card to get online! There was an IRQ problem that took me a great deal of effort to locate, and the problem was in the design of the motherboard, which the company (MSI) discovered and resolved the issue in a BIOS update.
It might pay off to figure out IF there's another program causing the problem. Use Task Manager and get rid of processes that may be suspect(just don't get rid of the wrong ones hehe).

Also, it might help us out better if we had a bit more description of the specific problem. We know your system hanged and that your system wouldn't read some discs. What kind of configuration? Any cool programs you got on your system that use a bunch of resources?

Hope I gave some food for thought, cuz you might just figure it out on your own!

OK, i'm going back to my porn

hehe jk

Well I have the same programs at start up, so no new programs.  Just Firewall, Anti Virus, Printer software, etc.  

The drive CAN read regular discs, it just gives me problems with 360 discs.  It can read BACKED UP 360 discs though, since its just on DL DVD+R.

The drive also makes a weird sound (like tapping), which it did before when it didnt read the discs.

Ive had IRQ problems before, but that was with PCI stuff.  Can that translate to CD Drives as well?

Thanks for trying to help me.

Coudlnt edit my post so heres what happened.

First (the first time I had this problem), I changed the Kreon from Slave to Master and my other burner to that was Master to Slave.  It worked when I had the computer on and I could backup games.  When I shut down and started up the computer, I couldnt backup my games anymore.

Then I took out the IDE and Power Cable of the Burner and left the one for Kreon in.  Boot up the computer, I can backup games again.  Shutdown, and days later try to backup but no go again.

Now, I plugged back the burner so now theres the Slave (burner) and the Master (kreon) and it works again.  Havent shut off yet but I bet I know what will happen when I do.

Hope this lends some insight.
