How to Use Your Xbox 360 Drive to Rip Games

You can use the following guide on how to use your Xbox 360 drive to rip games. You will need the following software to rip the games, wxripper and cloneCD. We presume that you will be having the following hardware, dual layer DVD drive for ripping, Xbox 360 original game.

You can use a regular DVD reader to rip the games. First remove the faceplate off your DVD drive. In order to get the drive face plat off you must use a pin or paper clip in the emergency eject hole. This will allow you to lift it off. Remove all the screws that hold the top plate. You must have the bottom well supported, as it will have no support once the screws are removed. You must remove the top of the DVD drive. Find the clips that are on the sides and press them to lift the top off the drive. This is a very simple step and you just need to be a little careful.

Your DVD drive should now be connected to the computer again and turn on the PC. Press the eject button to make the drive slide out. Load your DVD as you would normally do and once the DVD loader plate retracts, press the DVD a little gently to make it fit to the blue tack. Since the top is off, once the speed of the drive increases, it will throw off the DVD from the plate. The DVD will start reading the content. It is time to use our wxripper in our PC. Click on the magnifying glass to find the magic number. You will be able to find the list of numbers, jump, dummy and copy when you click the magnifying glass. In the third line you will find "Copy" which should be changed to "Dummy". Only by doing this you will be able to rip the games properly. Click the file menu and save your layout.

Open the layout file using notepad and you will find a list in the notepad file. Go to wxripper and open the layout. You must select the layout, which you now edited. This copy will be dummy. Stop the drive now by pressing the stop button. Wait until the disc stops completely before you remove it and replace your Xbox game.

You can now start the drive and press the green arrow button to rip the games. Select the location where you would like to save your ISO and a name for it. The ISO will start ripping the games by reaching various sectors and marking them off. Once the process is completed, you need to close wxripper and eject the disc. These steps on how to use your Xbox 360 drive to rip games may look complicated in the beginning but you will notice that it gets easier when you repeat it a couple of times and you can do this without much effort.

I hope you found my article on How to Use your Xbox 360 drive to rip games interesting?

my combo drive(cd writer and dvd reader) unables to write and read cd but can easily read dvd, so what i do?

my combo drive(cd writer and dvd reader) unables to detect cd when i insert cd into it but when i insert a dvd disc into it, it easily detects dvd. so what will i do so that my combo drive can easily read and write cd??

How old is the drive?
When these drives get older (or after a LOT of use) the LED starts to give out, and the drive will selectivity not read certain formats.
I know that this is not an answer that you want to hear, but if the other answers don't resolve the issue, this might be the problem.
