Mixed media/ Unrecognised disc

[DLORDXD]

I made the backup for my MW3 game and it worked 2 times whilst playing,
but then it started to say Mixed media/ Unrecognised disc and does not work at all, so I thought it was the laser, I tried my original it worked, I have installed it the HDD but still my backup does not work. I was wondering what the problem might be but my kprobe test looks, fine ( I have attached it), this is a liteon 2009 disc drive, so can anyone help me?

Put the backup back into your PC and run IMGBurn. Select 'verify' and check it against your rip again. If it checks out, it's probably your laser.

Yeh I verfied the burn and it was all good, so I will replace the drive, but why do some of my XDG2 cheap media and original work?

Just a a precaution run the actual disc through ABGX360 and see if anything pops up yellow or red.

Like Martin said, it's probably a laser issue, have you noticed any skipping fmv when running other games from disc or trouble reading other XGD3 discs?

consider a pot calibration for the time being have a spare laser in the garage as a backup for when it completely fails.

Your laser may not be having to work as hard to read the XGD2 games as it does with the XGD3 ones.
Also you have to take into consideration that the Media quality is better with some discs. On the XGD3 games the data area is extended to the outer edge of the disc and unfortunately the consistancy isn't always good depending on batches.
With the XGD2 games the burn doesn't go to the outer edges and therefore generally gives a better success ratio.

Ok I will replace the drive with another Liteon 0251, do you think this will fix it? Also sometimes my original says mixed media so I am guessing its this , so I will replace it.

you could just replace the laser

if you have a spare liteon lying around then by all means flash the dummy.bin off the other drive to it and test.

if not as a few others above have mentioned be around £17-20 cheaper to buy a new laser, its a 5 minute job at most.

or what drive you using to back up your originals?

im assuming a liteon or benq, so just try the laser out of that if a benq

I got a spare liteon here , I will try that, still strange my other media works, probs due to the reasons above.

Thanks all changed the other drives key and all and now it works great, probs cause this was fixed by dabilo and is a best , the other was much slower and weaker feelings.

Thanks, and yeh I got this xbox and drive felt weak, Just wondering do RGH need the drive inside or function without it?

 

[knowlzy10]
