Cannot Get Samsung To Detect In Windows Using Activate.iso, Using Xtreme3.0 package Options

[llsTixll]

I power up the 360, insert the DVD+R DL that I burnt the activate.iso to (using Clone CD), then wait until I hear the disc spin (about 5 - 10 secs) then fire up my XP PC.

The drive does not show in Windows under My Computer or Device Manager.

I have tried leaving the activate DVD in and taking it out before I boot the PC with no success.

If I flash the xtrm0800.bin firmware to it, it shows in Windows all the time.

Any suggestions. Please help

Did you set the booktype on the burner to DVD-ROM. Are you using good media?
Have you previously burnt a backup that works?

I have burnt some backup games and they work fine.

The issue is that when I use the Activate DVD (Enable0800), the drive does not show in Windows. (Is the 360 light supposed to flash after the DVD is spun up?)

If I flash the Samsung with the Xtreme0800 firmware (from Xtreme2.0 package) then the drive shows in Windows 100% of the time.

I can't recall if the light flashes? I stopped using the enable 0800 disc when I got the samsung SH-D162C drive. I was still using the enable disc from the xtreme 20 release prior to that, boot 360 with disc in wait 10 seconds eject disc then boot pc, should show in bios as a detected drive.
What firmware you flashed to the drive xtreme30 with your key in it?

I thought you still needed to use the Samsung in Windows to extract the SS and the SH-D162C was just for extracting the game image?

Can you entirely copy a game using the SH-D162C?

[llsTixll]

So anyone have any trouble using the enable DVD to have the Samsung show in Windows?

Bump.

If anyone has used the enable0800 (activate.iso from Xtreme3.0 package) DVD, please let me know if it worked first time or if you had issues.

Cheers

Yeah it worked fine for me...I'm using the xecutor kit for power...all i did was connect the drive up to my computer turn my computer on, hit the eject button on my kit and insert the disc...once windows loaded I hit the eject kit button a couple more times to get the drive to spin....surfed the net for alittle bit to make sure it had enough time to read....then ejected the disc with the kit's button and windows picked it up

How is your 360 drive connected the PC?
SATA?
Or USB (using SATA-USB adapter)?

Hmm, I dont know what to tell ya man. I flashed my drive with V3 on a VIA6421 chipset, then when I tried usign the activate disc on it it wouldnt work.... I tried my onboard chipset (intel) and it did work.

Looks like the VIA chipsets work flashing MS28 drives using the bad recovery flash method but the Intels don't.

Then on the other hand, the VIA won't work for the activate.iso but the Intels do.

Lol.

I'm flashed to Xtreme v3 using a VIA chipset, but I haven't even tested the activate.iso that I burned. I'll be pissed if I just wasted a DL disc and can't even use the built-in 0800 mode. In any case, my external sata mod makes it easy to flash to the manual 0800 firmware, which does work with my chipset.

If the activate.iso works for you then I'll be peeved off.

Be peeved off. Using Xtreme v3, the SYBA VIA VT 6421L PCI SATA card from Newegg, and updated v5.30c drivers from www.viaarena.com. Activate.iso works fine for me. Inserted disc, waited ten second, hit eject, then hotplugged inside Windows and it showed right up.
