Have you tried cleaning it? Maybe some dust, oils from your skin or something else is causing read problems.

Well try turning up the laser. Visit the xbox-scene site for pictures.

That usually works. Otherwise buy a new drive on eBay.

no buy a new xbox since the drive will go for the same price man.

You can hack a PC drive to work on the XBOX I think.
