People it's me again. I still cant copy my .iso file that i created using QWIX on to DVD DECRYPTER. What am i doing wrong? This is what I've done so far: connected XBOX to Comp insert game that i want to back up (STS street racing syndicate) open up D drive and can see all files created a fold on my PC (file name: xbox_srs) created an .ISO file using QWIX (final .iso file name: xbox_srs.iso) try to use DVD DECRYPTER to write .ISO file on to a DVD-R THATS AS FAR AS I GET?!!!?!?!? Some one out there plz help.
What error message are you getting when trying to use DVD Decrypter? Have you tried burrning the ISO with Nero?
the message i get reads as follows: I/O ERROR Device [1:1:0] Plextor DVDR- PX 716A (E (ATA) SCSI STATUS: 0x02 INTERPRETATION: Check Condition CDB: 2A 00 00 00 0 0000 0 0 0 0 0 INTERPRETATION: Write (10)- SECTORS:64-95 SENSE AREA:70 00 0 0 0 0 000 0 0 0 0 INTERPRETATION: INVALID ADDRESS FOR WRITE What am i doing wrong?
Well heres the update, after many, many, many wasted dvdr's I finally got somewhere. I was told that the message that I was getting could mean that the dvd-rw drive might be DIRTY. So I went out a bought a CD LASER LENS CLEANER and whala!!! I was able to back up my .iso file...... BUT, I notice that when I FTP my original game it only read 1.22gb (Ithought DVD VIDEO GAMES WERE LARGER, MAYBE 4.XGB). So after I backed up my .iso file, it only read for on my xbox for a sec then stopped. Anyone has any idea what went wrong? They say the "burning of the file" is the easiest, but not in my case. Please anyone with info drop a line. thanks
Xbox DVD games can very in size from 500MB or less to 4GB or more. Most average around 1.5 to 3GB in size. So it isnt uncommen for the size to only be 1.22GB. Make sure your using good media and you can also try to delete the files in your CACHE folder's on the Xbox HDD. Semetimes doing this will let your game boot up.
But my main question is how to make an xbox back up i i have tried about 8 tuturials and the alot of programs most like craxtion and qwix mess me up but i burned about 5 games and on one of them it like shows the first emblum and then freezes i know that the .xbe files are reaaly touche but i already put the firles on my hard drive but im very confused and nothing works please if you can give me a complete step by step very very detailed thing on making a copy and the programs i need.
I tried the tutorial here and was successful my 1st try. I FTPed all the files from the DVD drive on my Xbox to a folder on my PC. Then I open Qwik and chose create ISO from folder. I chose that folder and then crea ISO. I burned with NERO.
