Sorry, I know this is redundant.

I've always used dvd2xbox to back my games up. I've done over 6 xboxes with the majority of them being xecuter 2.6CE w/latest bios and a maxtor 160GB.

My problem today is I was setting up my friends xbox just like mine. I tested out dvd2xbox to see if it works. I used DOOM 3 and FABLE (games I own) to test the application. Both seemed to copy fine, but when I went to play them, they would crash just before the title screen and say, dirty disk error.

I've never had this problem before on any of the xboxs I've done. Can someone help with this?

 

[marcusarow]

I've tried a few more games now and still everything is crashing......what is going on?

 

[DJBOOBY]

have you updated dvd2xbox

 

[marcusarow]

thanks DJBOOBY always a pleasure

I think I have the latest version 7.2 right? It's the same version I have used on all the systems I've done.

 

[DJBOOBY]

yep but where are you putting in the game which folder

 

[marcusarow]

f:\games just like always. The games will play up until the the title screen....Then blam! a dirty disk error. I've tried six games now. I've also tried uninstalling and reinstalling all of them. Another note, is during the opening credits I can't advance the screen on any game.

 

[marcusarow]

Also the video screen on the games is smaller for some reason.

 

[DJBOOBY]

have you tryed to reinstall dvd2xbox

 

[marcusarow]

I've also tried uninstalling and reinstalling all of them.

yes

 

[DJBOOBY]

can you get a mates dvd drive put it in and try that

 

[marcusarow]

can you get a mates dvd drive put it in and try that

good thinking....it might be the dvd drive. can i just swap them out

 

[marcusarow]

ok....ive tried two other dvd drives.....and another version of dvd2xbox....instead of a dirty disk error it just goes blank on the games before the title screen
and some games just go back to the emulator

 

[DJBOOBY]

so you backup games to harddrive with other dvd drives

 

[marcusarow]

yes...ive tried a phillips and two thompsons and version 7.1 of dvd2xbox ......the games will copy fine to his xbox which I set up, and its sitting right next to me also.

 

[DJBOOBY]

ok it got me have you tryed harddrive rebuild its the only thing i can think of doing

 

[marcusarow]

what is a good hdd rebuild

 

[DJBOOBY]

what dash are you run if evox then slayer evox installer the go or auto installer delux 2

 

[marcusarow]

I've already got fully loaded emulators and video on the HDD.....would an autoinstaller erase all of that on install

 

[DJBOOBY]

yes ftp all them to your pc first as well as saved games then put them back on after

 

[marcusarow]

I've tried XBcopy, dvd2xbox, px-hdd13 and nothing is giving me a good game backup. The only thing that I can think of that is different from his xbox and mine is I have XBMC on mine as an application. The chips are the same,installs the same, bios same, dashboard (evox) same,hdd same, nes snes sega n64 gba emulators the same, and a private stash of video the same. Except I can backup my game DOOM 3, Fable, GTA3, GUN, etc on his successfully, and not on mine without a dirtydisk error.
I've errased my cache, saved games and anything else related to those games. I even erased my entire e:\\ partition and reinstalled. Is it possible I'm running to many programs? I really don't want to use a slayerautoinstaller disk....partly because I dont have a cd burner. Is it possible to use the autoinstaller through FTP
