ok, Xbox #1 is modded and working great...now for Xbox #2
I have the Xecuter 3 chip with the X3 bios installed. This unit has the original Xbox v1.1 OEM HD and Samsumg SDG-605B DVD drive.
I wanted to install XBMC on Drive C:, but the Xbox won't boot my AID 3.0 or 3.1 DVD. I used the same DVD successfully on Xbox #1 (v1.4 with Thompson DVD and 160GB HD). I am using FujiFilm DVD+R 16X media.
Any ideas? Should I try the Samsung firmware update or just buy another Thompson drive?

Good idea. What else could it be if not the drive? Same chips, same bios, same DVD+R discs...

DVD-R tend to be more compatible across the board.

Since the Fuji DVD+R is the best media for my DVD players @ home, I think I will purchase a new Tommy drive and keep the Fujis--thx again for the help.
