Unable to Dump Games

[Arachnus]

I am attempting to dump Metroid Prime Trilogy.

If I is RawDump 2.1 it says "wii disc detected" but says my disc drive is faulty.
Friidump doesn't work as Windows 8 declares the .exe incompatible.
I have also attempted to dump NewSMB.Wii, but with no success.
My drive is an "HL-DT-STBD-RE BH14NS40 1.00"

Is it an issue with my DVD Drive (which i couldn't find on the compatibility list in another thread) or an issue with the software?

Thanks in advance.

IIRC, RawDump and FriiDump work by exploiting the firmware in certain DVD drives capable of reading game discs. You may need to have certain firmware present for your device. Usually though, if it isn't on the compatibility list of working devices for RawDump, that means it won't work. The most common way around here to dump GC and Wii games is simply to use Homebrew applications on a soft-modded Wii, such as CleanRip or USBLoaderGX.
