Yes. Discs can fail checks with that method. A new burner is necessary.

It would likely result in a ban, and other things are possible as well.

Yes. You can take your chances, but it's unlikely that truncating will work forever.

And some games just wont work with that method. Forza 4 is one of them.

but then again....the firmware used to get the liteon burner to burn the new format properly sometimes eats disc with alot of write errors and what not

Just buy the burner. It isn't expensive. I got mine for under $20 at newegg.com

haha, it's not as easy as it sounds. I went to NCIX for the burner, and they told me that the all the B model got swap to A model after MS got wind of the burner trick. Some dude came in and bought like 40 B model at once, and now the entire NCIX is out of stock

I will call Newegg and see if their model is A or B. Also, in Canada Newegg doesn't have free shipping

HI just need some info based on the drives talk that was talked about here,

I bought a ihas324-98B from a local store I did the burner max tutorial but the drive does not detect the media in it (DL DVD & space available on it) could it be that this drive was swapped out for an A drive even thou the box has that info? how can I verify if the drive is a "B" drive and how can I verify if the flash was successful?

If you followed the tutorial that comes with the Burner Max F/W then you would have these answers. Go back and read through it again.
