----- Features/Functions
--- Version 2.0 Release Date 10.08.2006
* now also enumerates Samsung TSSTcorp DVD-ROM SH-D162C drive letter
-you must flash with kreon's firmware first
-at the moment there is no full security sector extraction possible with this drive, there are 69 bytes difference to a "real" security sector from the Xbox360 drive
* extraction of Xbox1 games should now be possible
-be warned, I had no way to test this, so it would be nice if anybody can confirm this works
* if the "game data visible"-function fails, extraction continues
-I never had this problem so some testing would be nice
* now you can also copy defective sectors on discs that for example are scratched
-in my tests I never had any read errors on Xbox360 discs, neither on the SH-D162C nor the Xbox360 drive
* extraction time is now displayed in the status bar
* image files are named in ascending order from IMAGE1.000 to IMAGE999.000
-you don't have to move the image files if you want to extract another one
* last but not least the extraction speed increases dramatically with this release
-in my tests a complete Xbox360 image was extracted within 15 minutes on the SH-D162C
-many many thanks to blackpanther who helped me a lot on the extraction routine, he's a great programmer and it's a pleasure for a noob like me to work with such a master of C++!!!

--- Version 1.0 Release Date 31.07.2006
* enumerates Xbox360 TSSTcorp DVD-ROM TS-H943A drive letter
* creates the CloneCD image desciptor file IMAGE.dvd for the layer break
* creates blank360.iso
* extracts security sector (ss.bin)
* makes game data visible
* extracts dvd sectors (game.iso)
* merges blank360.iso, ss.bin and game.iso to the CloneCD image file IMAGE.000

----- Hints
Make sure your Xbox360 TSSTcorp DVD-ROM TS-H943A drive is in xtreme0800 mode. The Samsung TSSTcorp DVD-ROM SH-D162C drive must be flashed with kreon's firmware. Otherwise there's no drive letter available and Windows XP can't see the drive.
This program is written for Windows XP SP2 and I think it's the only platform it will run on at the moment, but with the source included you hopefully can port it easily.

----- Additional Steps
To burn the image do the following:
- set the booktype of your burner from DVD+R DL to DVD-ROM
- start CloneCD
- insert DVD+R Double Layer disc
- choose image.dvd file
- burn at 2.4x speed
- I have not burned with DVD Decryptor, but I've read you must apply the layer break manually in this software, there are some good tuts on www.xbox-scene.com

----- Technical Details
Version 2.0 changes and error fixes
* the CD-ROM enumeration routine has some major bugs, but they only show if you modify the functions to scan more than one drive, cause of that I deleted the SCSI inquiry command and took another approach with IOCTL_STORAGE_QUERY_PROPERTY, the new function name is MyEnumAllXbox360CDROMs
* added a combo box for better changeablity of supported extraction drives
* added a check box for selecting Xbox1 game extraction mode
* "game data visible function" return value is ignored
* in the function MyExtractXboxImageFromDVD the first unreadable cd sector on the disc will generate a MessageBox, the user can continue the extraction with errors
* the MyExtractXboxSecuritySector functions now has a Sleep of one second between sending cdbs, this is for security only, no errors had been reported of a wrong ss
* the extraction routine is now modified for faster reading of sectors
