Issues burning XGD3 with windows 7

Post by 04jgc »

Ok, so let me start by saying i'm the farthest from a newbie. I've been burning 360 backups since the beginning, literally 100's, possibly 1,000's of them. Hell, i was burning back-ups for PS2 & using "swap magic" before the 360 was even hacked, if that gives you any idea, I've been at it for quite a while.

I have an ihas-124 with burnermax, using imgburn 2.5.6, running DVD Info Pro in the background (not sure if i still need to, but I've had failures when I've forgotten to open this when burning) & using EEPROM utility as well. I've been through all these tut's, know the deal on all the settings for ABGX1.0.6, imgburn 2.5.6, & EEPROM. I've never had issues burning with Windows XP. I recently upgraded to Windows 7, & POOF, everything is F'd up :o !

When I extract my games, (& even games that were previously extracted, & used to display correctly) some show as video_TS & Audio_TS, Dead Space 3 is showing as 4 .IBG files (whatever the hell they are), & a few are still showing as .iso. The .dvd files now show as "image file" in the description, but when i click the properties, it shows the extension as .dvd as it should. I went through & re-set all my settings, & now i'm getting "mis-compare" errors that I've never had. I'm about ready to tear my hair out :x !

I tried to re-install Windows XP, & that just seemed to piss off my computer something fierce! it said i could not do it. I
suppose I could re-format drive C & wipe it completely (yes, all of my game related stuff is on an external drive), but I kind of wanted to run W7, so going back to XP is a last resort.

my questions are these:

* is it somehow possible that windows & & could have erased the burnermax firmware off of my ihas by some crazy chance? What firmware should I be looking for displayed in EEPROM to be sure that burnermax is still installed?

* Are there different settings for the aforementioned programs specific to Windows 7 that are different than XP that I need to use?

* is there a different program set other than the ones I've mentioned that I should use with Windows 7? if so, can anyone tell me what they are & what the settings are?

please, please, PLEASE can someone help!??? I just built a new home so I've got, a pool, decks, landscaping, fences, etc going on, things are insane @ my job, & this is the last thing I need right now.

If this is the wrong thread for these questions, my apologies, but I'm doing this from work so i had to sneak in quickly & this was the first related thread I found.

May Buddah forever smile upon anyone who can assist me :( LOL


UPDATE** PROBLEM SOLVED **

It turns out that it was a file association error with Windows 7, & it's all that uncommon. The registry was not recognizing .iso files, so W7 was automatically displaying them as Video_TS & Audio_TS files. So I went went into Start > Run > regedit.exe > navigate to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT > check if there's a key beneath that called ".iso", if there's not then right-click on HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT > new > key, name it ".iso" > click on ".iso" > double-click on "(default)" in the right-hand pane > type "Windows.IsoFile" > ok. Close & reopen Explorer windows and hey presto, there's the Burn Disc Image in the right-click menu. this solved the issue for Movie files, but not the games. After a little more research & talking to an IT friend of mine, we came up with this solution:

Copy and paste the following code in Notepad and save the file as "ISO.reg" (WITH QUOTATION MARKS), no need to specify a location, just hit save



i opened up My Game back-up folder & VIOLA! there it was in .iso format as it should. ran it through ABGX & presto! successful burn! :lol:
I would thank the people who responded & tried to help, but their weren't any.... :?
