Yeah just like the title says, i need a replacement Xbox Drive. I asked around town, thinking it was dust on the lense but people told me that its the result of a faulty drive Microsoft used for the orginial XBox. He said that i can buy a new drive and put it in and it will work
So i ask you, the Stardestroyer.net people if you guys have a list of all compatible drives that the Xbox will be able to run with. Plus how to install it would be good

He's talking about the DVD drive. Which, whilst it is an IDE interface, has some funky bits as well, like a non-standard power interface (disconnecting its power cable will make the Xbox cry, and fail to boot at all)
The only way to use a standard IDE drive with the Xbox is to connect the IDE data cable to the DVD drive, and use a molex splitter between the HDD and your IDE DVD drive. This will allow you to play copied discs, but not original discs, and you will need a chipped Xbox, which will have to be kept open (or have cable ports dremelled into the case).
The easy way to effect a repair would be to buy an Xbox DVD drive from ebay, where they generally run to $20 or so.
