I have only done a couple hitachis, but one was your model. I used:
Maximus-Garyopa_XTRM-HITACHI_v2_3_Stealth_Rev2
and I used Verbatim discs and Fuji.
Also, burn on a pioneer 111d. This is the burner of choice for Hitachi drives in general.
Outside of that combo, people get varying degress of failure and/or success.
Also, how have you verified that your backups are working? Maybe there is something amiss in your backup creation process. Outline your process so that folks can help you work through any issues with your making a backup of your games.

I have been using the wxRipper method of ripping games, along with a spare dvd-rom. I can't verify that the backups work, as nothing has worked so far. There is no reason I can see that they shouldn't, however.

@Psychop1
You didn't make it claer as to if you were ussing DVD+R DL Disc's or not.
Are you aware that SL DVD's (i.e. 4.7Gib), Disc's currently do not work w/the Hitachi Drives.
Only the Samsung or Toshiba Drives can currently read SL Backups.
Other then that Did you remember to check for Booktyping?
Most newer Drives will do this automatically, but on older Drives you had to make sure to set
this Flag before burning.
Yes, I was using DL media. Booktyping is set at DVD-ROM.
It doesn't matter though. It looks like I have done what another poster warned against and bricked the drive (hitachi). I receive the E65 error, and am unable to eject. If anyone knows how to fix this problem, let me know. I've searched the forums, and so far, all the info conerning the E65 error is about sammies. I can't get windows to recognize the drive to reflash it.
