If your drive is in an HP laptop and its part number is HL-(anything), it might be able to read Wii games. Mine is a DVD-ROM/CD Burner. I can't say for DVD burners. My main PC's drive is also a DVD-ROM/CD Burner, but it can't do anything with Wii discs, it actually freezes explorer for awhile then just acts like there is not a disc in the drive.
Using Friidump, its main speed option made the drive read the game at something like 155MB per hour... and it crashed around 400 MB. Then i tried the -3 option, which is lower-level and should be "slower," but it reads 900MB/h... and it completes in about 5 hours.
***EDIT*** I do not know if Friidump works for GC games. I think I read somewhere that it does, but your ISO ends up being 4+GB because it thinks it's ripping a Wii game.
So if it thinks its ripping a wii game and it is over 4 gb...couldnt you just compress it to get it back down to normal size??
