    The problem lays in the Thompson drive. Microsoft didnt make it a requirement that the DVD drive plays CD-Rs, so the Thompson drive doesnt for that reason. It does, like mentioned, play CD-RWs.

    Older Samsungs are the best, along with new phillips drives, reading CD-Rs most of the time, along with most other formats. New Samsungs and Old Phillips are still alright though, with many reading CD-Rs if its on decent quality media.

    You cant just load drivers onto the xbox. Theres the Official Samsung drive that works, and one unofficial one that can be modded to read xbox disks, thats it. For the other Samsung, you need to flash special firmware, along with soldering wires and all that good stuff. An Xbox DVD drive reads the disks differently then the PC drive does. You can however modify a PC drive to work in a Xbox, it just wont read regular disks.

    In that case it will be cheaper to buy an xbox samsung drive than modding one themselves

    The problem wasn't the softmod or what I did with it, it was because I tried to uninstall the softmod.

    You should have asked me then ,I have uninstalled my softmod various times and just with the evox disk in return to retail mode option,or by manually deleting every file installed by the installer.

    I've got a Philips on my XBOX and never had any problems with DVD-R's, so I haven't tried any other DVD media.
    I use Fujifilm DVD-Rs and burn the discs at 8x.
    The only problem I had was when i burned Ultimate Spiderman.
    I had to burn Ultimate Spiderman at 2x because the scenery wouldn't load and the character would freeze in place while everything around him moved.

    For best results always burn your games at the lowest speeds .

    I actually tried that on Fable; I burned at speed 2 and the game took almost a half hour to load.
    Then I lagged in the game.
    I've burned about 15-20 games at 8x and had no problems.
