okay my question is I stole a drive from another xbox 360 that my friend and i gutted. it is a newer benq dvd drive.... I think...... and the original one in my 360 was older benq. but since I could it from another 360 it should just be plugged in and go to town right? why is it reading some games like a dvd and others perfectly fine?

What exactly do you mean by "stole"?

No, it's not that easy. What do you mean by stole?

"All drives should be updated to Lite Touch + (LT+) firmware if playing on XBOX live. Samsung drives and pre-78/79 Hitachi drives do not utilize AP 2.5. All other drives are considered to be detectable by Microsoft (YMMV). Make sure all rips are ABGX verified, contain SSv2, and patched AP2.5 (where needed). XGD3 must currently be burned on new drive with PC Burner Max firmware for 100% rip. All modded consoles can be potentially unsafe for use on XBOX live."

we guted a friend old 360 when it got the rrd so he gave me the drive and I just swapped out the old one in mine for his. I didn't actually mean stole like it is a hot dvd drive.
it isn't that easy what do I have to do still, I'm guessing I do have to flash it?

You have to extract/dump the firmware from your old drive and spoof it to firmware for your new drive (either orginal or custom FW). Full details can be found on the Jungleflasher PDF.
