Does anyone know a brand of CDRW that works good with a Thompson drive? I can't get a BIOS disc to work and the only thing I can think of to try is to use a different brand of CDRW. I always get "No BIOS found - Halting" from my Xecuter 2.3b Lite.

Its in the tutorials.....but what brand of CDRW are you using right now? It also says they reccomend Ritek DVD-R, which is supposed to work with all three drives. Good luck.

Will only read SOME (generally expensive media) CD-RW

Right now I don't have a DVD writer so I am stuck with CDRW's. I tried CompUSA and Verbatim. Are there any specific brands of CDRW's that work with the Thompson DVD?

The Xbox Version doesn't matter bud, only the DVD Drive. The Thompson unfortunately is the pickiest of drives.
I have heard of other members using a brand called Ritek.
I have also heard of people getting the memorex brands to work. Are you sure you are burning it right?? That could also be the issue.
maybe that will help. _________________ Good Deals: Death@Hand, funkydopenloven, StaticMind, Slamscaper, PorscheXboxter
