Reflash ms28 f/w

[johnnyq113]

hey guys i still have problem getting a good read from some of my games. I have a lite on dl burner but before i upgrade to a pioneer i just wanna know i currently have ixtreme 1.4 12x will it make a difference if i was to make it slower say 8x? cause all the game i burned booted but when it comes to any start screen it show an error disc cannot be read. So i wonder if making it read a little slower helps. thanks.

what discs are you using??
what speed are you burning your discs @??

im using verbatim 8.5gb 2.4x

lite-on dvd dl burner

xbox bckup creator v2.7

dump at 2x

burn at 2.5x

the 360 seems to read the games but with the some of the copied games and torrnets it seems to only read the beginning of the game but then gets stuck with the disc error. For exmple with madden09 that i backuped it sometime work and some times it doesn't and when it doesnt it say disc error but when it does it plays normally. i dont know if its the 360 f/w or not i tring to see if i make it slower the (f/w) will it be able to read the files better? i no it will take longer to read.

u could attempt to re-flash at slower speed - it really is a process of elimination

in all honesty if u have to use a slower a speed there is definatly a problem with either your burner, discs or xbox dvd drive.

u just need to decipher the root cause.. re-flashing the drive to a lower speed will help isolate the problem @ no cost

that is the first thing i would do is reflash at 8x and see how it goes.
the one thing you did not tell us is what dvd drive do you have in your console.
i have been reading of more and more older hit dvd (NOT v78 or v79)drives starting to give trouble.
If you have a older hit dvd drive you maybe looking onto a pot tweak.

does it ever happen on a orig disc.

o sorry i have a samsung ts h943

yea i just did a 8x reflash and still have problems

but reading original is no problem everthing works.

now the games that i have burn that worked stop working getting errors again.

back to the process of elimination >>

where was the verbs made??
if they are "made in singapore" then thats good

IT WORKS!!!! it seems that both 12 x and 8x was to fast to read the disc. so i just went and tried the 2x just to see what

will happen and then i hear that the disc drive do a smooth read and everything works. The only difference i see is that is

only take about 10 secs longer to load a game. I dont get why at 8x or 12x wont read. Does it have to do with the burning

process of the game? i know that burning slow ensures that u dont skip any files, but what if i was to burn at 12x and

ixtreme was set to 12x? will it read?

because i figured now that it works, if the games was burned at 2x, and ixtreme is set to read at 2x and it read, wont it be the same for 12x.

but after a week finally working!1! thanks to you all that help me, really apreciated.

nope.. u are working it out wrong

always burn discs at 2.4x - no greater

burning faster does not skip files but the integrity of the disc is reduced if u burn it faster

that being a v28 drive if you have to run at 2x then there is something wrong somewhere
the backup is not burned or the v28 drive laser is going out.
if you are happy then that is all that matters but there is definitely some thing wrong.

yup.. I 2nd that.. as already stated

Yea I think somethng is wrong with my lAser because I just flashed my bros hitachi drive

And I test one of the games that I burned and it worked like a charm so I'm thinking if I was to spoof a

Hitachi drive will I still be able to use the ms28 without doing any confguration?( if hitachi was to go bad also)

Will I have to reflash the ms28 or will it be just plug

n play? Well I'm waiting for shipment of my hitachi drive. Thanks again
