I have a hitatchi drive in my 360 that has been flashed so I can play burned backup games. I have the samsung SH-D162C DVD-ROM that I used to create the .dvd and .iso files using XBOX Backup Creator. I then burned the image using CloneCD.
When I put the disc into my 360 all I get is the dirty disc please clean it with a cloth error.. anyone know where im going wrong here??? i've been banging my head against the wall for the past week trying to get this to work and I dont feel like making coaster #7
any help is much appreciated...

I forgot to mention that I am using Fuji DVD+R DL media on a Sony DRU-800A burner to create thebackups..
thanks

burner and media look suspect to me. some 360 drives are picky!

check compat. threads at top of forum

i was having the same problem. so i flashed back to my original firmware, then put on the birdy 2.0 media compatibility patch and all the disks that didn't work with xtreme hitachi 7-in-1 2.1 firmware.

xman,
you flashed your XBOX back to the original or the Samsung SH-D162C back to the original firmware?
sorry im a n00b at this.. know anywhere i can get a step by step of this, its not too clear to me what to do..
thanks

You will definitely need the latest mediacheck firmware for the Hitachi since the Sony by nature doesn't get along with the Hitachi. That being said, Fujifilm (Ritek D01) DVD+R is far from the best media to be using. I would do the update then test the Fuji and if that doesn't work then get some Verbatims.
