hi,

i had my xbox modded about a year ago but i have never made any backups as i did not but and DVD DL RW disks but now that I got some I would like to know if a samsung drive is needed to create backups. I HAVE SOME iso to burn but i didnt do any burning yet because i wanst sure if i needed to use the samsung drive to burn the games. As far as i know the samsung drive is needed to extract the img files from the games but not for burning.

Can anyone confirm this before I go spend $40+shipping on something I didnt need?


thanks.

ok if you already have the iso's then they should have already been extracted from the 360 game disc correctly .... so all you need is a good quality dual layer burner pioneer are excellent BUT OTHERS DO WORK ..... if you are wanting to extract the games yourself from original 360 titles the yes you do need a samsung 162 OR 163 kroen flashed drive.

ps i modified your original post slightly

ok thanks for the reply...what program do you recomment i use?

xbox backup creator seems to be the easiest to use but then there is schtom and clone cd.

any suggestions becuase im not ripping games from the game itself.

thanks

if you are not ripping the games..... simply use imgburn which is free once installed simply right click on the .dvd fileand select burn with imgburn make sure you uncheck the verify box on the user face and also slow the speed down .

Quality Media is essential ..

also .. you have to book-type the Media when burning to "DVD-ROM" for the backup to work.
