I just want to know if ALL xbox's with the early drive are messed up.More than a few times a game has frozen up on me and the "this disc is dirty or damaged"message poped(maybe the disc was dirty,hmm) but audio cd-rw's work fine all the time.Has anyone with a newer XBOX had problem with games freezing?

If I were to get a newer drive from another XBOX would it be a problem putting it in?I mean would the other parts know this was not the original drive?

And you have a chip so have you had problems playing copied games?

I bought my xbox about a week or so ago and have played some pretty scratched-up rental games with no problems...

I bought my xbox when it was released, the ONLY problem with that drive is that it doesn't seem to like CDRs other than that it works fine. I haven't had any freezes or abnormal load times.

And I don't think you'd have a problem putting in a newer drive.

I hope you guys are using good/decemt DVD brands, it's not worth using cheaper ones that are just going to wear your lens out faster.

I got my xbox when it first came out........ the drive doesnt seem to like 2x cdrw media very well....... the 4x and up work great on it....... the older 650mb memorex cdrw's do that to me.... just try a different brand...

I have an XBOX from when they first came out. The question is, are the new XBOX supposed to be able to read CDR? Because mine never reads CDR, kind of like my first series Sony DVD player. argh! Now sony ones even play mp3
