The external enclosure is a good idea, but I don't want to spend the extra money for it. I have a MOBO that has 2 IDE & 2 SATA connections. I am currently not using the SATA connections, so I thought I could save money as well as being able to get the drive into my PC case. I was trying to simplify the installation as well as limit the cost.

You could get this ide to sata adapter Monoprice
It works great, I am using one right now for one of my hard drives.

hey im new to this thread and i just bought a lg-hdr dvd-rom, it reads it fine but wen im trying to dump the dvd it has handling errors, i tried 2 games and they both get errors at one point or another... "Arithmetic operation resulted in an overflow." so whats goin on here? any help would be useful, thanx

Why is it that you can only use those specific drives? I have a regular DVD+/- RW drive (with my dell laptop) why can't i use that one?

$80 for dumping a Wii game ??

For inseting an Wiikey its rather cheap !!

No, No! $80 for Key4Wii mod. I got a Wii for $180 Canadian and $80 Canadian for that hard hard work you need to do to have the Key4Wii and $20 for return shipping. Wii should be back here on the 7th. Wii Can't wait!! Wii!!!

Ok for some reason after the mod only the two sports games I have gotten off of bit torrent have worked was wondering why only sports games are working all the other files seemed to be ok. Any opinions??

I received the SATA drive I purcahsed off eBay. The model # is LGE-DMGDR-H10N(B) or better known as the GDR-H10N. I put this drive in and connected it via the SATA cord. The drive works fine reading DVD discs, but it does not read the Wii discs. I have Rawdump 2.0 & .net 2.0 installed, so I have all the programs necessary. I keep getting an error "Error!! You migh have a faulty drive!!" every time I try to dump the disc. Is there any suggestions? I think I may go the route of buying the GDR-8164b and putting it in an enclosure. I thought the SATA drive would work since it was posted on another website that it works in dumping the discs. This is the site http://wiki.nintendo-scene.com/index.php?title=Wii_Disc_Backup that said the drive would work. The particular drive I have says its an HP drive, but I assume that it was manufactured by LG.

I am new to this. I have a modded wii.. with a wiikey.. i want to back up my games.. i got a LG GDR-H30NK, because i read somewhere it would work with reading wii games.. is this true?? if not .. is there an external dvd drive that will read themm..

I really appreciate all the advise..

thanks a million.

Ok seeing as no-one replied to my post BASICALLY if you get an "arithmetic . . . . " error it basically means that theres some physical problem with dvd disc even though the error makes it seem as if theres something wrong with the program.
Anyway i hope that helps you guys. Peace

Anytime I got arithmetic error it turned out to be dirt on original game dvd.
After cleaning it and reinstalling it rawdump will ask you if you want to continue.
Say NO and start a new dump or else your backup will error while you are in the middle of playing the game.

If your original isn't dirty I would suspect a scratch.
