My Samsung Drive Will Not Run Original Games
« on: March 16, 2004, 09:10:00 PM »

My Samsung (SDG-605,x010,October 2003) drive recognize my original games as DVD movie. This happens whit the modchip disabled too. I tried a Thompson player in the same xbox an it works without problems. Games on DVD-R, music, movies plays ok on the drive.

Whats wrong with mye Samsung drive ?

Did you do anything to it.. try to tweak it? If not im not an expert on things but could need a new laser. and is it all the time or just most of the time?

No, i just installed a modchip in my xbox, after that the drive will not work with original games. Both EvolutionX dash and MS Dash recognize original games as DVD movie. I tried the Samsung drive in 2 others xboxes and the same problem appears.

Have you tried to play burned cd's in it.  All the samsungs that I have ran across play burned cd's, but of course if you say it is reading the games as a DVD, there may be a bad calibration.  I always thought samsungs were pretty good. Myself I want to put a whole new disc drive in my XBOX if possible. :jester:

I've been having the same problems with my Samsung drive reading XBOX games as DVD movies. If you find anything out let me know.
