I am slowly going insane! Im am running Vista Ultimate (The Full Version) and I recently purchased a Samsung SH-D162C Drive to backup some of my 360 games. I have had absolutely no luck with Xbox Backup Creator v2.3 nor Schtrom360 3.0 or 3.1 nor the latest IsoBuster. The drive seems to properly recognize the original 360 games very rarely and when they are recognised they still don't extract. The Drive is set up as the only IDE drive in the system as the Master 1. Most of the XBC logs are as follows:

Is this a problem with:
a ) Vista? (I've heard it hasn't really been tested)
b ) The samsung firmware? (I bought the drive already flashed with the Kreon 0.81 firmware)
c ) My missing the knownledge to operate the program?!?
d ) Dirty disks? (Ive heard this can create problems, but ive tried almost 9 seperate games, one of which is new and doesnt have 1 scratch)
I'm at a complete loss...
I also tried creating an XP PRO SP2 guest Virtual Machine using VMware in Vista and tried both XBC and Schrom and had some problem with DMA.
