Problem with XBC,read errors

Post by mallardman »

I've been trying to backup Crackdown with XBC 2.8.0.275 and it comes up with read errors around 40%.I've tried filling all sectors with zeros but it keeps repeating with a different sector.I use a Sh-D163B drve with 1.0.I've had read errors before but never one after another an soforth.Read speed was also set to 2x with no luck,any ideas?

Is it always around 40%? If so it sounds like you have a dirty disc. Try cleaning it really well. Obviously a soft cloth and do not use any liquids. The only liquid that should ever touch a disc is distilled water. If it still doesn't work after that, try cleaning your drive.
