Problem ripping final fantasy 13

[trance]

Ok people, its been around a year or so since i last backed up any of my games [ i know , i know ]
The problem is my benq 0800 drive wont even recognise ff13 in xbc 2.9, i put the disc in and nothing happens [xbc media not present]
i put in forza motorsport 2 , the drive picks it up no probs. What could be the problem. i believe im running ixtreme 1.6 0800 firmware, is there a newer 0800 firmware, is there a wave problem.
Thanks

i put the disc in the drive and it starts to spin and then it suddenly stops, weird hey
any ideas

i've just ripped forza m 2 succesfully using the same setup[benq 0800 ix1.6, xbc 2.9]
what could be the prop with ff13

What disk are you trying? 1 2 or 3? Hell all should work...

Are they scratched in any way?

Tried all3 , they do have the odd scratch but nothing major, and they work fine when playing , all seems a bit too weird

that game will dump with 0800 in a benq
all three disc

that game will dump with 0800 in a benq
all three disc

I guess i'll have to keep on dumping [ i dont mean that literally ]
Dont know what the problem could be , with the sound of the disc spinning and then suddenly stopping, im even more uncertain.

clean the disc good
sometimes its the smallest thing that will mess the dump up

just to update you guys and pass on a bit of knowledge,
I managed to get my drive working and stop having mood swings. I followed a video on youtube, i cleaned the lens with a cotton bud. Now its not being fussy on what it rips , now it rips everything
thanks for your input

I once had a problem with a drive that drove me bonkers. Turned out a piece of hair had wrapped around the drive spindle, and would arc across the laser every rotation. Cleaning it with a CD cleaner never worked, it wasn't until I took the drive apart that I found the problem.

Just goes to show...
