Thank you so much!

Just short question, under windows I always set the bitsetting to DVD-ROM. Is that done automatic or is it just nor required?

If you use external DVD burners and is in doubt about device file, do this: 1-) Remove the DVD Burner USB connector from your box... 2-) Wait a little 3-) On a terminal launch the 'dmesg' command (it didn't want root powers) Somewhere on the end you'll see lines like this. [ 7.238260] scsi 2:0:0:0: CD-ROM HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GE20NU10 EE05 PQ: 0 ANSI: 0 [ 7.242728] sr1: scsi3-mmc drive: 94x/94x writer dvd-ram cd/rw xa/form2 cdda tray [ 7.242848] sr 2:0:0:0: Attached scsi CD-ROM sr1 [ 7.242918] sr 2:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg2 type 5 See in the second line the 'sr1' after the braces? This is your device. Your device file will be /dev/sr1(for this case)

The ISO may be valid whether abgx360 passes or fails. abgx360 failing may mean one of two things..
The rip is bad – who ripped it? Do you trust them?
or the game might be a pre-release, not yet in abgx’s database.

but I would NOT recommend burning and playing the game if abgx360 fails lest you don’t mind getting banned from Xbox Live. Delete and find another ISO!

what happens if abgx360 fails? wouldn’t it just continue to burn afterwards?

I don’t think it was a bad ISO, Cuz reading from the other comments it was working a 100 % I haven’t runned the abgx360 for myself, but it does tell it’s abgx360 verified and did pass. No problems at all during the burning and all my other burned games work with no problem at all. can’t find a good solution for this issue :/ but I am not the first with this problem it seems. just thinking if i did something wrong in the setup to burn the game, I’ve been using Windows before, Now I am using Ubuntu 9.10 and as it is different i am not quite sure. All other games (that worked) as i have burnt before was on Windows.

Perhaps it was a bad ISO or a bad burn? Did abgx360 pass? Any errors/problems while burning? Do other (burned) games work?

What about verifying the disc?
I just burnt an iso and it doesn’t work. How can I make sure it was burnt properly?
