Backup says Unreadable Disk

[pigtaru]

Hi Everyone,

I just successfully flashed my Benq VAD6038 with the 1.5 IXtreme using Iprep 008. I burned a .mdf using magic iso onto a Memorex DLand was unable to load the disk on my console. I popped in an original Xbox 360 game and it worked fine. Are there specific disks I should be using? Methods of burning?

I've also verified that the iso is stealth using dvdMulleter. Please advise.

Well technically its not an iso, its an mdf which is a file type made by magic iso.

Anyhow, we only support backups, and not illigal downloads, with that said, I am going to assume you are abiding by the rules, so your problem is probably the disk.

Try a verbatim dual layer, you can buy a pack, or a single one off ebay...

Yes, this is a legal backup of a game I do own. Thanks for the response guys. It was very helpful.

I dont really know how you would have gotten a .mdf unless you did hot swap...

You should try using XBC to rip the game, then burn to your current dvd+r dl's to see if they work. 9 times out of 10 they dont and you will need to go buy verbatim's.

Memorex DL discs don't work with samsungs or Benq drives I know this for a fact. The games will sometimes boot but will freeze in the menu. Just my experience, use Verbatim DL's.

can't really be that factual being that all i use is memorex and i have a samsung drive. people i know have hitachis, lite-ons, and benqs and they use memorex too. . . so ahhhh, yea, im not to sure bout ya fact.

there are many disc brands that will work
but
people get the best results from verbatim (most of the time)
