I have a Pioneer DVR-212D DvD-RW drive. I read on a sticky post that these are very good drives for the 360 burning. I am trying to make backups of my games, but it has not been working. In Xbox Backup Creator the "Start" for backup is grayed out. So posts have said you cannot backup games with this drive, some posts say you can you just need to flash the firmware of your drive. I already flashed my MS-28 succesfully. I am trying not to spend more money because I bought this one thinking it would be a good drive to use. Is there somethings I'm doing wrong? Do I need to flash the DvD drive? Thanks for the help

The Pioneer is for burning the game, not ripping the game. You have to get a kreon drive for ripping. Or you can flash your ms-28 with a different firmware where it will be recognized by your computer and you can rip games w/ it but then you'll have to flash back to the other firmware to play the games.
