You should use the latest version of iprep instead of extreme boot maker. You can find it in the downloads section.

Did you update the def file? Check out this tutorial: viewtopic.php?f=110&t=257

I would think that might be a problem with the usb stick itself maybe, this is just a guess with that kind of error from me anyway....

[Jman 31]

Maybe not a bootable stick?

[scunnybugs]

[scunnybugs]

use Iprep 101 v006.get you firmware ixtreme v1.3 (for the samsung) load the firmware strait up.i mean leave it ziped up. the firmware load will give you options as to which speed you want to use.
to make your boot drive.
(try a floppy and see if you get that same error)reset your bios back to default settings.that may help that error
boot from you boot drive
then do just what it says on the screen.that error could be your problem(im not sure)I would try a different computer.

do not have the 360 drive hook up to the sata cable till after the computer is booted up in dos.then hook up the sata cable to the 360 dvd drive.

watch this video.
its for the benq but you do most everything the same.
but load the samsung firmware not the benq.
after you boot in dos the on screen will be different to but just do what it says.

there is no reason for your computer to see the drive.it should never be hooked up till after you are done making the boot drive (which ever one you use) after you boot up in dos that is the first time the 360 drive gets hooked up to your computer

He used a floppy disk instead of the USB stick
