I have placed a laptop sata DVD drive in one of my xboxes... 
The point is that it does work, as I can install a hdd with Aid, but game back-ups or originals do not start... 
Why is this and what can be done about it? 
It is a Sony optiarc Inc. AD-7560S.
Help would be appreciated. 

Hello, I've just joined this forum as i have just softmoded(Rocky5 with XBMC-Emustation) my ogxbox.. But I am running into an issue when I try to launch the emulator.. The screen is just black. But I am able to hit B to close it again. So it seems it's running? But not able to show me anything on screen?
 
Also currently downloading DoomX homebrew, to see if that launches..
 
Regards Naits.

Hi Team,
So i picked up a XBOX, but sadly the DVD drive is destroyed and so is the HDD. The mother board its self works fine. Is there anyway to get this up and running?
