Break it down and tell us exactly what you're doing step by step, another pair of eyes might see what's being left out or done wrong.

everything it tell you todo in nfo i put drive in mode bet get ss.bin using getss open isobuster right click on dvdrom enter lenghth lba and click extract but just comes up saying illegal length

are you entering it in decimal or hex or other? or is there not an option? never had the need to rip tbh, but I understand the procedure.

are you putting it in the correct box in isobuster? (third one up I think).

the 2048 bytes/block is important.

Is it definately in Mode B?

I've never tried a Hitachi, but I've been told that for a Samsung you need to 'unlock' the drive to make the data visible.

i ripped loads games with samsung this 1st time i tryed on hitachi drive is in mode b or it wouldnt be detected in windows (or am i wrong?) am deffo putting it in correct places in isobuster just need someone to try theres incase it simply dont work unless you do need to unlock the drive like a samsung but how do you do that on a hitachi ?? i no you use dvdinfo on samsungs but i tryed with hitachi didnt do anything
