Describe more in depth how you are powering the drive. The drive is powered by molex cable to 12v adapter/plug? Xbox 360 dvd drives use a propriatery power port and cable, and need inputs of 12v, 5v, and 3.3v. Unless this is a custom-modded drive with power-conversion circuitry built-in and a standard sata power plug installed, what you are talking about won't work.
Just feeding the drive 12v isn't going to work.
If it is the small, rectancular power port with 2 rows of pins, you will need something like a CK3 to power it. If it has been modded to accept sata-style power, it might be bad. If it is being enumerated with a drive letter, then the sata adaptor is fine.
