I have an Xbox with the Thomson Drive - I read from the tutorial about the types of media that it will read:

Thomson Drive:
Will not read CD-R
Will only read SOME (generally expensive media) CD-RW
Reads all DVD-R/RW
Reads all DVD+R/RW

I tried some DVD+RW (with video) and it seems to work - but

Doesn't like any DVD+RWs with data on or any DVD-Rs that have video. I have burned with Nero, DVD Decrypter etc. all at low burning speeds (x2)

So, I want to put in a burnt AID disc, but nothing seems to work.

Any ideas on what media I need to buy for me to boot with AID?

Thanks!

Can I FTP the AID and run as an app or do I need to boot from the DVD?

Well, I think this is odd...

I burned a couple of DVD+RW different brands with AID, both did not get recognized by the boot sequence or Evox dash - but when I put the DVDs in when I had XBMC open, the AID come up.

I thought the issue was with hardware not software. Any ideas?

Thanks!
