to be honest i've never had a problem with any branded dvd-r and i've backed up quite a few! if i end up with a coaster it's always been a software problem of some kind never the disc itself
i think most peeps would agree cause if you aint choose the proper command it won't matter if you've used ritek or not you've got yourself a coaster

if you look under the xbox it has a date on that will help
i can't understand the samsung drive not reading the backups i have a samsung and a philips the samsung xbox is new anyway but the philips is more than a year old and it plays all my xbox backups on dvd-r i grant you it's now fussy with cd-r you are sure you have a samsung drive not reading dvd-r backups that work in your thompson?

have you tried updating the bios on both xboxs?
because you didn't say which one you had in either you don't have to take the xbox apart to see what drive they have though you can tell by just ejecting the tray i should imagine the thompson one is fairly old though and i can't understand why he took all the stickers off you have checked the tray shapes yeah? because he probly put a samsung sticker on the drive god knows what he's done have you had them long? i'm not sure when they started putting samsung in the xbox

both xboxes have been flashed
xbox 1 tray has 2 holes either side of it and 2 corners took out at the front. xbox2 tray has none of those i hope this makes sense i did try 2 add pics of them but it said files 2 big i have had both xboxes 4 about 1 year got them a couple of weeks apart.
