Hello. I have had my xbox 360 since they first came out. I have had no problems till now. I kept getting the unreadable disc error, i reatched the magnet, oiled the motor, and cleaned the laser just like everyone says to do. That didnt work. So i found a friend who has an 360 however he doesnt use it. We opened up his xbox, removed the disc tray and hooked it up to mine. Now when i put disc in i get the "to play this disc, put it in an xbox 360 console". Now i know it is reading the disc because it spins fine and reads "play DVD"

any help?

yea, your first drive burnt out, and when you replaced his it worked. except it didnt. thats cause you cant go just swappin drives. each are different and have their own individual key. basically you are going to have to flash that drive to work on your box. and hope its an easy one to flash. also note that you now have a modded firmware on your xbox able to play burnt games and you can get your console banned from xbl by doing it. and no there is no other way around it except sending it of to microsoft and paying some godly amount for them to do a 5 min fix. the choice is yours, however i am assuming you dont have your warranty sticker. so it sounds like you need to read up on how to flash an xbox 360 drive. there are plenty of great tutorials out there. hope this helps!
