dynamo2009 Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Hi I have several 360 back ups that are all on Verbatim 8x discs. The problem is that some will read using Imgburn ( in order to make another back up ) but others indicate that the disc is empty. The discs that won't read wok fine in the 360. Does anyone know why this is and this there anyway to back up the discs that wont't read? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cynthia Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Hi and welcome to the forum, dynamo2009! When you are in the read mode. Can you copy and paste the info in the window to the right (the info about the disc) from one of those tricky discs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cynthia Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Status: Incomplete This seems to be the problem. It should state: Status: Complete You could try to close it with the function Tools -> Drive -> Close -> Close Disc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dynamo2009 Posted March 13, 2009 Author Share Posted March 13, 2009 Hi Tried this and got a I/O error, tried closing the track and it froze. When I put the discs that won't read into computer drive it states disc is empty but it plays fine in the 360 so game is on there. As I said, the games are all on same discs and some read but others won't. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 That drive is pretty old. There's a newer firmware available for it here - http://www.firmwarehq.com/Pioneer/DVR-108/files.html Do you have access to any other drives? i.e. the Optiarc one that burn the discs in the first place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dynamo2009 Posted March 13, 2009 Author Share Posted March 13, 2009 Hi Have updated the firmware cheers. Nope don't have access to any other drives but guess its time to update. Just don't know why it reads some of the 360 discs and not others. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
