It worked!!!! yay, it was the god damned media, thanks so much for all your comments i was on the verge of throwing a rage with the xbox, lol

can any of you tell me the best bang for buck kind of +R media for me to buy for my back ups now as the phillips ones were a little expensive, £30 for 5 :/

Ritek are hard to beat for price and quality
