DVD-/+ R(W) Drive w. Live

[MikeTee]

At the risk of sounding lame(no comment TYLER)LOL, try something simple if you haven't already. You have a 1.0 XBOX, so I'm guessing it's a couple of years old at least and "been 'round the block a few times". Try a lens cleaner disk on it.

I've got 2 XBOXes, one modded, one not. They both have Thompson drives and they both play +R & +RW with no prob. I usually use Fuji, Philips or Verbatim. One of them started to give me trouble with R & RW's, so I used a MAXELL lens cleaner kit and the problem disks immediately booted. Haven't had a problem since. I use the lens cleaner once every couple of months.

On another note, I've never been crazy about Memorex DVD's for movies or otherwise. As for copying movies, I either use DVD2One or DVD95. They both work exceptionally well. Matter of fact, DVD95's newest version guarantees XBOX/PS2 compatibility. DVD copies have always been problematic on consoles, so X COPY Express may even be the culprit.
