Sorry, I was flipping out when I posted this.
I was saying that I just realized that the disks I thought were DVD-Rs, and the disks I ripped AID and XBMC Installer on, are DVD+Rs, blank DVD+Rs. I did a check on sites and apparently only some drives can read them. I don't want to get an Xbox and have to buy different disks because of a disk drive.

Most XBOX drives can read +r. Personaly Ive never liked +r for data and always stick to -r discs
I just don't understand the difference, other than standards and compatibility. Why are DVD-Rs better for data?

DVD-r tends to be a higher quality medium, and -r format is more widely compatable. Tons of old PC drives can read -r no problem but not +r. Youll tend to find if burning for PC/console the -r is favourable.

Well, at least my laptop works with it.
Okay.
