Update to my last post. I think there's more to this, since my drive got into a state where it wouldn't read the trap disc again and the only thing that resolved it was a full power cycle of the computer.

<t>Pardon the necromancy, but I had a similar issue with a drive I picked up off eBay. I was able to do one rip and then the trap disc stopped working.<br/>
<br/>
I burned a new trap disc at 1x speed and now that disc works. I burned the first one at whatever max speed my Plextor supports. I am not ...

<r><QUOTE author="h0lylag"><s>[quote=h0lylag]</s>The first copy of Official Xbox Magazine Demo Disc 02: January 2002 reads as a blank disc by windows and was in absolute pristine condition.

Can you please post the source code so we can compile for other platforms?

<t>By the way, I wrote something to check the feature set of my drives with Kreon and the "error correction" stuff was explicitly not available on my model. Furthermore I found some posts by Kreon himself explaining that the error correction is just shortening how long the drive will lock up/retry ...

<r>I think I've gotten closer to the root cause. After redumping the 26 games that had this problem, I noticed that the affected drive begins failing the same way after being used continuously for a certain amount of time. It seems like it's an overheating or mechanical stress issue that affects the ...

I did try editing sectors.txt to intentionally not provide a few SS areas to see what the drive would do. FreeCell continued to function and the drive returned ...
