I got my 360 fixed by microsoft recently (red ring of death), only to have it returned with a new problem, the dvd drive has been making terrible noises, and doesn't read disks every so often. At first it only made noises and I didn't think anything of it, but as soon as my warranty expired it stopped reading disks. So I thought I might invest in a new DVD drive with nothing to loose. I wasn't sure if there was anything I need to know. There aren't any tutorials for this up yet, and I remember from modding my original xbox that xbl pairs hard drives with motherboards. I was wondering if there was anything like that I need to know about. I'm not trying to mod my xbox at all, I'd like to keep xbl running for me. I guess I'm just asking if replacing my dvd drive is going to be as simple as hooking up a new one.
