Required Tools

Dump the SS/PFI/DMI .bin files using Xbox Backup Creator.
After you closed Xbox Backup Creator, press the eject button of the drive twice so that it will remount the Xbox partitions.
Run 'ss_sector_range.exe SS.bin >sectors.txt' in the folder containing the SS.bin.
Run 'FreeCell.exe Drive: sectors.txt' in the folder containing the sectors.txt.
Now the Xbox game will be dumped to 'Track 01.iso'!

Open the app Xbox Backup Creator 2.9.0.425
On the Options tab, check "Build Clean ISO".
On the Read tab, uncheck "Use Sector Mapper (Xbox One)".
Click the Start button on the Read tab.
A read error should occur shortly after starting the dump. This is normal. Check the box "Apply zero fill to all remaining sector errors." and click the "Zero-Fill Sector(s)" button.
When the dump is complete, make sure that the log window reports exactly 65536 unrecoverable sectors. These are the security sectors. If the number is higher, this means there were actual read errors and your dump is likely bad.
