I've spent the last week scouring the web for an answer to this and haven't found specifically how to do this, or if it is/is not possible.
Dilemma:
I can't get my xbox to read any burned discs. This goes for the Xbox Softmodding Tool Extras Disc and any games. It can read original xbox games just fine. When the disc tray closes, it reads "Init" for a little while, then says "Empty". Attempting to launch the disc from the dashboard does nothing.
Info:
Xbox Version: 1.4
Softmod Version: Rocky5 v1.1.6
Disc Drive: Phillips
I followed this tutorial to softmod the xbox without hitting any snags at all: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lW6QsGXTrFQ
I also accidentally uh.. "virtualized my eeeprom". This was the most recent change I've made on the xbox, and hope I didn't bust anything.
- I have tried using Memorex DVD-R's and Verbatim DVD-R's (through my research Memorex was confirmed as working and heard good things about Verbatim discs).
- Fable transferred just fine to the HDD and confirmed it can run great.
- I've converted the Extras disc using C-Xbox Tool v2.0.6, then FTP'd it to first E:\Games, then E:\Application. When I try running the Extras disc from either place it will sit at the "Loading" screen. While on this screen the eject button will start flashing orange. I must hard reboot the xbox to get back to the dashboard since Triggers + Back + Black doesn't work.
