i might sound like a right plank here but...................is there a idiots guide to burning 360 games any where?

i've downloaded a few games in the past including gears of war and cod 3 etc,but whenever i burn them i just get the 'disc is unreadble' error.

the files i've downloaded are usually already in a .IMG file so i just used either clone cd or image burn to burn them to disc at (2.4x).

i know my 360 drive is a fussy as ~~~~ and the slightest scratch will stop it reading the discs.

my brother has usually done all my discs not using verbatims but some other ones,so i tried one of his discs on mine using the method above but no joy,so i thought maybes my matisha in my lappy is crap so i bought a pioneer 111d external and tried a game but again got the same error message.

i'm gunna get a new lasor for it anyway in a month or two but just wanna make sure i'm doing this bit right first as the same discs will work when burnt on his but not mine unless i'm doing it wrong lol




EDIT.......forgot to say i've ordered some verbies from fleabay too just wanna make sure i'm doing this bit right lol;)

yep use imgburn and dont select the iso file instead select the .dvd file. thats the file to use and you,ll be ok. by the sounds of it your burning the iso file which will ~~~~ the disks up.


img burn

select the .dvd not iso

burn at x4 (i do)

remove and play.

i thought that brian cos when i extracted them all with winrar i was only left with a .iso file.

but i looked back in my downloads and above all the winrar and quickpar files there was a winzip file so i extracted it and it give me a .dvd file so look yours might be there.

just about to try it now i'll let you know if it works
