ReedH Posted October 5, 2008 Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 Did you check the option for alcohol to book as a dvd-rom? No, was I supposed to? What does that do? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jlong1987 Posted October 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 The zip is just over 3 gigs. It is correct, extract it and burn it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dakka Posted October 5, 2008 Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 Is there a free software that will bur this ISO? Thanks, Jason I use DVD-Decrypter (http://mrbass.org/dvdrip/) From the menu choose Mode > ISO > Write Way easier than Alcohol 120 and its freeware that never expires. And get 7-zip if you want free software that handles zip, rar and many other compression formats. Also freeware and an excellent performer. DVD-Decrypter can rip DVDs as well as burn them (and also burn .iso images) That is the program I used to make a duplicate of my Original Avic D3 discs Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Raiden Posted October 5, 2008 Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 raiden how do u get the 08 disk file into img burn cause i just downloaded imgburn, step by step please yes im suckin up lol First you should change the Layer Break Sector. I did that when I burned the 07 disks and I have not changed it. So I'm not sure if it's important to do but it worked for me. To do this, go into Tools -> Settings Go to the Write Tab At the top right, (Layer Break), click on User Specified Enter 2084960 Click on OK to go back to the main screen. Unzip the file so you have an .iso Open ImgBurn Click Write image file to disc Click on the icon next to "Please select a file..." Select your .iso file Click on the "file to disc" icon at the bottom left of the screen. (Under the Verify option) There you go! IMPORTANT: Make sure that Write speed is maximum 2.4x. For DL, it's the best I suggest Memorex DVD+R DL Disks Good Luck! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kruff10 Posted October 5, 2008 Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 Just want to say thanks to everyone on here who gave info and made avalible the 08 disk, i have upadated my d3 i used memorex dvd+r dL, one problem,,, now it won`t let me search PIO???? SUP WITH THAT??? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
real Posted October 5, 2008 Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 I have the original D1 and downloaded the west coast .rar files and extracted them into a ISO. I keep getting insert appropriate disc error. I burned it using nero then alcohol 120% with book type (suggested on page 7) with no success. Funny thing is that it does recognized the DVD because it reads the backgrounds pictures from the new DVD but does not update. I tried using the reset button, but no luck. Anyone have any ideas? I have 3 DL verbatim DVDs left. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IvanRaide Posted October 5, 2008 Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 Just did my upgrade on my D3, thanks jlong1987. To kruff10, I was able to do a PIO search, (which I know doesn't help you, but its info anyways...) To everyone, I remember reading about people who had used the previous WEST disk torrent and saying that after a week or so their units said "inappropriate disk", (or something like that) .... does anyone know why this happened, (and will it happen to us?) Does anyone know if this West was different then the torrent West disc that was floating around about 1 month ago? Thanks again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tycho81 Posted October 5, 2008 Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 Just wanted to give a huge thanks!!! I'm so pleased to finally be able to grab these. currently d/l east disc at around 530kb/sec. 2 hours to go. also just wanted to confirm. These are the upgrade discs correct? and not the ones that were bundled with new units? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
