It seems as I think im aware from reading around that the drives on these things, or rather on most xbox's are fucking deathtraps to discs.. over last mnth or so it seems to be ruining my discs and my sons, but then I tried them in my xbox and they work instantly, where with his one its always "clean disk" do this do that etc..

He has a case where playing halo reach is fine but if you go load maps in the firefight areas of the game its just sticks at a % then stops altogether loading the maps.. other game modes fine though..

I then try in my xbox and all is fine..

Are the drives replaceable? I was a bit concerned as ive read something about the drive being matched or whatever to the box and blah blah to do with hacked xboxes etc..

If I can replace the drive this would be great, and if anyone has a source or how where what etc to purchase this would also be great info.

P.s I tried the usual clearing cache and removing the hard drive and playing the games again but the problem was still persistent..

cheers.

Is the drive modified? If yes, what fw is it?
Also, no warranty? If it's a slim it shouldn't be more than 1-1.5 years old. I believe they have like a 2 year warranty -- well at least here they do.
If it is, and you're not sending it in because of the modified fw, you should still try sending it in for repair -- I've heard cases where they didn't notice and it went through.
If you're just out of warranty or whatever, then yes, I believe the drive could be changed, depending on your region there should be people that can change it or sell one to you so you can change it. That also depends on your x360s DVD model.

hmm well its only coming up a year old.. but everytime i go to the site and put in the info and get ot the postcode part it says "you're address unknown" all the time no matter what i put in even the misses mothers down the road still refuses to take it.. fucking annoying.

its not modified its a legit box..etc

Edit: ok tried the repair option online again and i seem to of got it working this time, it was the fact i did not put space between my postcode details. ffs, everother time i dont need to but they seem to be using a "must be accurate to std's" format.. anyhow all done its free to fix and if they cant they send u a refurbished one i think.

*shrug* still at least I know they will do it now and son wont whine at me Very Happy

Nice! Good to hear you had warranty on it as most drives out there are used -- salvaged from broken boxes. Very Happy

Btw, this should have been posted in the technical forum. Razz
