Nope, not really.

 

Either it works or it doesn't.

 

Clean the Samsung and update its firmware.

 

If it still doesn't work then you have 2 choices:

 

1. Get MKM-001-00 discs.

2. Get a new drive that supports MKM-003-00.

Yeah, forgot to tell you that i use Verbatim discs too, do you think that i should buy Samsung SH-223F instead?

That disc was damaged in a previous failed burn, so try with a brand new one using 6x or 8x speed.

 

You might also want to look for the latest drivers for your motherboard's chipset and/or SATA controller (use SIW to find their brand/model if you don't know).

Yeah, thanks. But the problem is that my Xbox 360 only read the speed about 2x-2.4x. Do you know what to do?

The console only cares about the burn quality and the slowest burn speed doesn't always result in the best burn quality, especially on new burners like yours which are tuned for faster burnings.

Okey, now I've tried to burn it at 6x and it burned successfully and when i start the game at my xbox it works and when I've chosen language it just says cannot read disc, may be dirty. And I've verified it as well.

Do a PIPO scan in DVDInfoPro or a Disc Quality scan in Opti Drive Control so we can see how well the drive burnt the disc.

 

Give 8x a shot too.

 

Did you look at that SIW software to find out which controllers you have on your board? It's not really normal for a drive to show up as 'Fibre'.
