[Chiboy]

My Xbox Thompson Drive Plays CDRWS fine BUT it will not load Orignal Games! I loaded up boxplorer & when a orignal game is in there it sees the drive as empty. I dont know what to do. Thanks if you can help.

Sorry, you have a modded xbox. We are unable to offer you support. Thank you.


J/k.. maybe the drive is kaput? Get a new one.

IDE cable loose, perhaps. What BIOS and dash are you running?

 

[Chiboy]

Newest X2 Multi Bios & Newest EvoX Dash.

Do you have a hard drive installed bigger then the original?

Did you wait until the Xbox stops scanning the drive? If you start up boxplorer or any file management app. before the xbox finishes reading the disc and EvoX says "Game" at the upper right hand corner, then you won't be able to read the disc. The file management app will say the drive is empty (unless it has the option to re-scan the drive). Probably not your problem, but I figured I'd make the suggestion.

Otherwise you might find yourself on eBay looking for a broken xbox with a working dvdrom drive.

or better yet, replace the drive with a Samsung 616T

try upping the pot to around 1100-1200 on that drive..

I had one that did the same thing and this fixed it.
