    hi im not sure if posting in the right place. if i am posting in the wrong place im sorry. one of my friends owns an actaull copy of fight night round 2. after a while it stop reading disc. it wont read any other games or music cds. an the same thing happend to one of my other friend too. there xboxes are not modded or anything.just a plain old xbox. an i was wondering if i could put any dvd drive in their xboxes an it would start reading xbox games again. or if they need a certain dvd drive.
    thnx in advance

    what are some of the pc dvd drives that would work. i went to xbox-scene.com an they had some tut on how to install certain pc dvd drives but it said that you needed a modded or softmodded xbox for it to read the games

    the Samsung 616t modding tutorial

    The second link is to a page full of every resource I have ever seen..the drive tutorial is a fair way down..

    There are some support threads that can be reached from links in the articles




    this is a guide for the LG 8163b

    For all the notes and support information relating to this article please see http://forums.xbox-scene.com/index.php?showtopic=400274

    Both drives if modded will work with original games in a stock xbox to the best of my knowlege

    There is rumored to be a way to alter the LG 8164b in the pipeline as well.. As it's a current drive I'm watching out for more info..

    But before you do any of that follow the guides here
