Hey guys! Firstly, my problem contains several different catagories, and it didn't fit into any one forum, so that's why I'm posting here. Mods, feel free to move this if you think it fits better somewhere else. Ok, here's my sad story: I've been making Xbox 360 backups for a long time and I thought that I was fairly familiar with the process. I had a Samsung DVD burner that I was using and it burned out. So I replaced it with a Liteon DVD burner. Everything worked fine. Then I decided that it was time to replace my motherboard and processor. Now I get errors when I try to burn Xbox 360 backups. Here's what I'm working with: Liteon DVD burner (set to DVD-ROM for DVD-DL) -Connected through IDE (set as Master) I also have a new HP multi media burner that gives me the exact same error: HP DVD Burner (set to DVD-ROM for DVD-DL) -Connected through IDE (set as Slave) Here's the log that I get from Imgburn when I try to make a backup: I 14:00:09 ImgBurn Version 2.4.2.0 started!

The HP writer is brand new, so it's not the burner. I get the exact same error with both burners. I'm using Verbatim 2.4x DL DVD's, so that's not the problem. I changed the Ribbon Cable, so that's not the problem. So I'm thinking that it has to be programming based. Someone in another posing suggested that it might have something to do with the IDE controller, but I don't know anything about that. So maybe it's the drivers, maybe it's the firmware. I don't really know. I wouldn't think that it's the firmware because the drive worked prior to the new motherboard. Oh, and just a quick note: Both drives burn Wii Backups with no problem (so single layer disks still burn fine). I don't know what I need to tweak. Please Help!!!
Thanks! I wasn't sure which forum to post that question in. Anybody have any idea what my problem might be? This is driving me absoulutely nuts! I've wasted almost a whole pack of verbatims trying to test out different theories/fixes. Please help!!!
