biggrin.gif  For once upon a time everyone was a nOOb..Just wish some people would use the search function a bit and do their own research on some questions first..Before they post.... They would be better for it in the long run..

Hi, I just wanted to thank Senator for his reply. I went through his checklist and found the problem.  As it turns out, the it was glaringly simple so I think I'll save myself the humiliation and not mention the specifics.  Everything is fine now; I just burned THPS4 on CDRW and it is running perfectly.

Must run, I'm late for the Paklid mixer. Thanks again Senator.

QUOTE (CorneliusTheSimian @ Dec 27 2002, 03:16 PM)
I'm have the exact same set up as the person who originally posted this topic...I get the blue XBOX logo/bootup screen which then goes into the normal xbox dashboard. When I try and play a backup of anything...game, movie, music, anything that is on a cd-r, I get the "disk not compatible" message. It's the same message I would get if I stuck a cd-r in without the modchip. All regular games seem to be working fine.
Am I missing something? I flashed it with Evo2.5. I get the blue boot logo. LED on the modchip is green. Everything appears to be fine, except that it won't recognize cd-r's.
What am I missing?

/*edit*/
I just wanted to add that I really don't know much about this modchip stuff. My brother in law (who doesnt actually own an xbox) said I should get a modchip. He's the one that told me where to get it. He gave me the Evo25, which he got from a friend. According to my brother-in-law, if I flashed the chip with the Evo25 and installed it properly, I should just be able to put in a cd-r of a game, movie or whatever and I should be good to go. After reading through some posts in this forum, I don't believe that is true. I don't have an Evo Dashboard or anything like that showing up on my xbox. It's still the same old xbox dashboard. The only noticable difference that I can see is the big blue X on the boot up screen, which still says "M$".
It seems like I'm missing something...I just don't know enough about this stuff to know what exactly it is that I'm missing.
/*edit*/

Your trying to play CDR ????
This depending on your DVD drive may not be possible...
If it's a thomson you will struggle.....Try the CD/RW discs they will or should work, sounds like your media is incorrect.... biggrin.gif
The mod chip doesn't actually allow you to play CDR it's the DVD drive. C how you go....
