I am new to xbox, I got my xbox from my sister inlaw she gave it to me cause it was broke, i figured why not, it is free maybe i can fix it well 2 months now and dont know what to do. This is the problem it will turn on and i get the menu screen, no matter what it has music on it and will play music but when i put in a game or dvd it wont play, or even boot from the disc no error message or anything just goes right to the menu again. Now on to what i want this system for my cousin has an xbox that he put 4 harddrives in and was able to use it for a media center or to backup his movies cause his kids were scratching his discs, can anyone help on what to do i want to be able to soft mod it but cant cause the disc drive wont work, Help please.

You will more than likely have to mod chip it. Not sure if you can simply replace the dvd drive or not without one.

Listen when you put in a disc, If the laser scans any disc you put in there is still maybe a way to fix your drive if you cant get a hold of another xbox dvd drive. You'll need to do POT laser tweaking this method works Phillips 6035\21 and the 6011\21 and many Thomson drives. It doesn't hurt to try as your last resort.
