Qwix Creating Bad Xiso
« on: September 24, 2004, 10:22:00 AM »

I am not sure why you are creating the iso that way.

When I want to make a backup on to a dvd-r I do the following

1. Start avalaunch with the disc in the xbox I want to backup

2. Start Qwix on my pc and choose create iso on the left side

3. Choose ftp folder as source on the right window pane of quix

4.  Click the button with 3 dots(elipses) all the way to the right of the ftp folder line

5.  Chose the d: drive on my xbox

6.  Click create iso

When it is all done, I then burn the iso with nero onto a dvd-r.  I have done this sucessfully quite a few times and haven't had a problem yet.  The xbox has been able to read all the discs I have made without errors.

the iso name has to be the same as the directory the files are in otherwise it makes a bad xiso

You're the first person in a year to report something like this.  Qwix has thousands of users.  I'll have to assume you're doing something wrong unless you can give me something reproducible.  I have never run into this problem, and don't know of anyone else that has.  I rename ISO files a lot.

When i was backing up NG i deleted the JP files and it worked fine but qwix didnt pick up that they are identical files.

If Qwix decides the files aren't identical, it means they aren't identical.  Just because they have the same name and size doesn't mean the contents match.  Qwix uses an MD5 code to compare files, so the chances of it being confused about an identical files are so slim, you'd hit the lottery millions of times before Qwix would be wrong.

plus i hate that qwix limits the size of the iso. no larger then 4.2 gigs or something like that.

Try using NTFS and making sure you have enough freespace.  I've made a 27GB ISO with Qwix before.  It's not limited.

That's my 2 cents, and the time I spent writing Qwix in the first place was worth a lot more than that.   wink.gif
