SECTION 1.1 Produce a perfect working XBOX ISO backup of a Burned ISO Backup 1:1POST MARKER: ONETOONEBACKUP
It has been a
common misconception that a properly BURNED ISO BACKUP could only be duplicated by placing the existing BACKUP in the XBOX, and using FTP to Draw the contents to the PC, and REBUILD using recommended methods.
This is simply not so.
UDF Method has long held the advantage of being the only way to burn an XBOX Backup that will RE-READ in a PC. Which is still TRUE
in UDF you have full READ access to the files, to do with as you wish (
such as make a duplicate backup). Well
you can Burn your PROPER GDF ISOs, and even your alternative ISO formats like XISO formatted ISOs, and make a copy using only the PC.
In the past
MY COMPUTER would
scream
One of these
ERROR MESSAGES
and that would be enough to keep us from duping our backups! Some assumed since we saw the same error messages with RETAIL XBOX Disks, the same Read Issues would apply to our backup!
It is actually a fairly EASY process to duplicate your existing backup without the use of your XBOX. The Process is essentially a 1:1 process. (1:1 RecordNowMax will Read in RAW Mode, and Write in Raw ISO Mode)
You will need
RecordNowMax (others may work
untested for this feature)
Place the XBOX Burned Backup in the PC, in one or your DVD readers. Then open RecordNowMax (or earlier versions), and RIGHT-CLICK on the drive that contains the BACKUP DISK
And
Select EXTRACT TRACKS
(ISO/WAV/MP3). In the next Window, you will see the drive properties open, and details about the backup!
Click on
01 ZONE. (for DVD) or
01 Data track One (for CDR) Then
Select a
Path, as you will need to tell RecordNowMax where to put your new ISO file.(make sure the place you send the new ISO is big enough!)
Read Speed
well
set it to
MAX. If you have problems
then by all means drop it. Ive done plenty of Re-RIPs, using MAX speed setting, and have had No Problems. When you are ready
CLICK EXTRACT Button
(
if you have alot of scratches or blemishes on your disk.. you should lowers your READ SPEED to reduce errors)
You will now see that the Bottom part of that window is showing the
STATUS of the track
EXTRACTION 
This will take a few minutes! Enjoy a coffee! Do NOT be surprised if it doesnt READ (RIP) at the full rated speed of your PC DVD drive. Itll get faster toward the end of the disk, unless of course your have marred or scratched the disk!
When done.. close RecordNowMax,
remove the BACKUP DISK from the PC. You now have a Perfect copy of the Backup Disk!
This works for DVD-R, DVD-RW, CDR, CDRW. There is no reason it wouldnt also work with DVD+R and DVD+RW. From here.. you can simply re-burn with almost any ISO burning program! Or, you can play around with the Files, by using any number of file extractors.. the best being XDFSExtractor!
NOW... I've chosen to detail the method so that you would have a NEW ISO on the HD of the PC. However.. it is just as easy to place your BURNED BACKUP into a DVD ROM Drive on the PC, place a BLANK in the DVD BURNER.. and do a striaght COPY! Work fine! I chose to not speel this out in more detail.. because I'd rather give you a chance to not produce a bad copy.. incase there is something wrong with the original! Any serious scratch.. etc.. and you could end up with a buggered copy on DIRECT COPY! By all means.. save a step if you want.. and do the direct copy! However... everything in the GUIDE is about producing the BEST Possible BACKUPS Possible! I've also assumed that anyone with any Burning software knows how to do a basic COPY. So I won;t DETAIL that process! 'nuff said!
Go have a Beer
Its Miller Time!
*Note: to be fair.. a burned disk prepared in UDF format is Fully and easily readable on ANY PC. This method of Backing Up a backed up ISO will NOT give you the same seemless access, but will give you the same options
with a little more work!
