hi folks, hope ive got this in the right forum

a couple of weeks ago my lt flashed drive kept coming up with disc read errors, so i got the drive replaced and fully updated again, since that my xbox struggles to read my backups (takes 3-6 times of ejecting drive), it just sees it as if there is no disc in there, eventually it starts then for about 5 mins i can have game errors (ie commentary goes missing during fifa) these errors do appear to be audio only

i am using the same discs as before, nothing else has changed also when i took it to get flashed his backups worked first time with no issues when testing (he was not using verbatim discs)?

now while playing call of duty ive just had another read error, im a bit confused, surely the drive hasnt gone again, its only been 2 weeks

i add splitvid to backups and burn using isoburn, i also use the best discs for the job (the verbatim ones, and not the dodgy ones), ive tried burning at 8x and 2.4, it doesnt seem to make a difference. i have a NEC drive - ND-4570A and ive never had these issues with my previous xbox, although it was a hitachi drive and not a lite-on

the only thing i can think of is the discs, but i thought they were supposed to be the best for it?

can anyone suggest anything please?

cheers all  

get a pioneer burner, burn at 4x and also try installing the game to your 360 hdd

Before you go out and spend money on a new drive, try doing a quality scan on your disks with Nero CD-DVD Speed (or any other disc quality scanning tool). I use version 4.7.7.16

Since your using good media coupled with a good drive, your disk quality should look something like this



but even if it doesn't, as long as your max PI is lower than 280 and your max PIF lower than 8, you have a good burn.

so if you have a good scan, that wuold mean your media (verbatim disks) and burner are good and you either have a bad ISO file or a bad 360 drive, but since it works fine with the other persons back ups it is probably a bad ISO file.

In the off chance you do need/want to get a new burner I would recomend another NEC drive, such as an optiarc AD-7240S (newegg randomly has it on sale for less than 25 shipped), and NOT a pioneer. NEC chipsets have by far the best overall quality that I've seen for dual layer disks.

could also depend on what you're using to make your backups in the first place
