tearing my hair out!!!

I have been reading and rebooting, and reading and boot discing for weeks now. This is my problem:
I installed a xenium gold to a v1.4 xbox. Lost the m$ dash, successfully put on emulators, roms, dashboard, xbmc...etc. It plays roms fine. It doesn't play burnt games (dvd-r or dvd+r), freezes on the one original xbox game I have (XIII). And the m$ splash screen just loops (no clock, network settings, music...etc.)It has a phillips drive. I have used slayers (the only disc that boots) with no solution. My eeprom is backed up, but I'm not sure what option to use on slayers to restore m$ dash, and or read burnt media. I am very sorry for the long post as I am incredibly frustrated. Thanks
