well is it modded? if not, then its not the hdd its the disc drive. there is a good good chance that you have a thompson drive, those drives are known to get weak, what happens is the after running it for awhile it gets hotter, and the laser has more strain, causing it to give up reading the disc. when u sit it 4 awhile then it cools down...and does it all over again. good chance that your disc drive will die real soon. if you have never broke the mcrsft seals on it, then just call microsoft back, tell them that it wont read discs, and they will replace it. just say "i put in the discs, but it doesnt read them all the time..about 50 percent of the time it gives me a read error" now if the seals are broke...buy a new drive.

nope a normal dvd-rom wont work, your best bet is a replacement drive from ebay, ur lookin at about 40 bucks with shipping.
