Is this one particular disk that isn't working, or can you not get ANY DVD+R disk to work?
If it's a matter of only one particular disk not working, I would have to say there is a problem with the one disk.
If it wont read any DVD+R disks you need to do some trouble shooting.
First, have you started using any different burning apps/software to create your disk.
Also, are you now using higher speed disks and burning them at the higher speeds? I noticed that some of my -R disks that burn at higher speeds give my Xbox drive fits when trying to read them. If I slow the burn speed down they read fine.
Ultimately, if you find yoru disk is fine, your burn speeds are adequate etc..etc... then possibly your DVD drive's laser is starting to weaken. _________________ Xbox 1.4

on another note, if what italian ice said doesent work try buying a dvd cleaner (its a disc with at least one brush on it) play it like you would a normal dvd, this worked WONDERS on my friends xbox. His xbox would not load any disc's even retail games that are brand new, so he got this used it about 6 times over just to make sure it was clean and it works better then new he said

chances are the dvd drive is shot, you have to replace it. _________________

If you don't mind modding it, I have an unmodded Samsung SD-616 I could sell you. At one time these drives were in heavy demand so I grabbed a few and never bothered modding them for the Xbox so I got rid of them. I have one left.
I also have a SDG-605 that I may be persuaded to part with. I can always use a few extra dollars as I am wanting to get an X3 mod chip and Green X3CP for an unmodded Halo LE I recently purchased.
Feel free to PM me. Since I don't really have any refs here other than dbeal (we did a trade so to speak) I may be able to send one of the mods here the product so we can do an escrow setup. I read a post at one time where Hellblazer was willing to do that.
Anyway, just hit me up if you are interested.
If you are looking to get an inexpensive drive, you can find unused Thompson drives on Ebay for around $25.00, and they do work. I have bought many for customers who wanted a cheap repair.
If you are looking for something that reads faster, reads more media types, then stick with the sammy or even the Hitachi. _________________ Xbox 1.4
