You can buy a new drive for it and install it your self, but I wouldn't tear into that drive without knowing entirely what you are doing, if you 'clean' the lens in the wrong way (with a course cloth) you could scratch the lens and forever destroy your xbox drive. Then you will HAVE to buy a new one. Good luck though.

i looked into this some more and it seems to be a common problem with original xboxes. im going to try adjusting the lense, if that dosnt work, the replacement thompson drive is about 30$.

i just clean out some of my old save games that were on the hard drive. seems to have really helped with the disk drive errors. so far i havent gotten one back yet.
i would also get errors when pausing dvds. so far those seem to be gone now too (crossing fingers). -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned
