What media works for Thompson Drives?

[marcusarow]

Some people say to use Memorex......some say Verbatim....some say Maxell.
I've used a lot of different media and can't find which one the Thompson drive will read.
So far I've use Memorex High Speed CD-RW 12X 700MB 80min.....Verbatim DataLifePlus 2X-4X 74min 650MB CD-RW.....and a Maxell DVD+R

My FlashBios 3.0.1 will not load a bios from disk drive using these types of media. Or maybe I'm not buring them correctly?

My Thomson drive reads Memorex and Imation cd-rws and Ritek dvd-r, maybe you're not burning them correctly like you mentioned. If you can...try flashing via network, it's easier...

Cool...I'll have to try Imation I guess!

 

[islander223]

burn at the lowest speed possible, 2x 0r 4x

I did good with Sony...

But islander223 is right, burn slow... and when you get the DVD-R make sure it has a slow burn speed... they'll be cheaper anyway.

You guys are helping but my thompson drive really really sux! It has trouble reading my games sometimes. So I'm taking Islander223's advice and flashing via network. The problem is that I can't get on to http://192.168.0.99 . What's the deal?

Is that the IP that your Xbox gets assigned? How is your Xbox connected to the network?
