Kreon Drive + Xbc2.5 + Ixtreme Fw = ?, anyone have any insight? Options

[wans]

Hi guys, i have recently invested in a kreon drive, it arrived all nice and safe exactley 2 days before i got banned, talk about bad timming.

Anyhow, i already have a new machine sorted with an ms25 drive inside, its sitting in a pile in peices right next to my banned machine wich is also in pieces, both waiting to play there role in flashing the upcomming iXtreme firmware from C4EVA.

I understand that my old discs are coasters as far as live is concerned as i never bothered with stealth patches ala DMI/PFI as i always used an hitachi drive wich dosent use these features.

Now using my new kreon drive and XBC2.5 i made a backup of my original Crackdown disc, including PFI and DMI, however when i run a stealth check against the image it comes back stating that the video is questionable. Everything else passes but ive also read reports of teh new firmware ONLY booting backups wich have a security sector ripped using a samsung drive.

Now the two things confusing me are, by samsung drive, does that include the kreon drive, as it is a samsung drive? And what does "video is questionable" mean on my stealth check using xbc2.5?

Let me stress that the only disc i have tried ripping using this drive is Cackdown, wich is a bonofide store bought microsoft approved original game disc. Any answers apreciated, speculation is also welcome but please state its speculation when posting.

Thanks!

moved to backup

video should include everything (note it is no guarantee since we do not know what ms is checking), try with SChtrom to confirm (ref Tutorial: How To Verify Media Stealth,(DMI, PFI, Video Partition) )

Kreon is the firmware, and the shd162c is in fact a samsung drive!! so yes everything is included like in the samsung ms25/28
