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 burbning 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

!
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

!
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 this:
* 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.
My Buddah forever smile upon anyone who can assist me
