i cant see how the 2 things are related (maybe recheck all the power and data cables to both drives are correctly inserted), i would say its more of a coincidence that the dvd drive is playing up straight after the hard drive swap, I would try stripping the dvd drive, cleaning and greasing the parts.  i had a similar problem where the dvd drive kept ejecting but i cant remember the model of dvd drive, i did sort it by internally cleaning the drive and spraying a tiny amount of wd40 in a pogo pin which was activated by the drives sliding mechanism when the drive opened / closed

      Help with IND-BIOS 5003.67 1tb G Drive partition and table
      By hands_groober
      Hi again
      Following up on my previous post about mt ram upgrade. Ive ran into another issue.
      I have installed a 1tb HDD. Prior to upgrading my ram I had already formated the with F partition taking 120gb and G partition taking the rest of the space. I have filled F partition with xbox games which has taken quite some time. Ive now realised that IND-BIOS 5003.67 will not read G partition.
      M8 bios will read the G partition but then i wont be able to take advantage of my extra ram. From what Ive read it is to do with how my G patition table is written. If this is the issue, is there any way I re-write the partition table without disturbing the data?

      Eject issue - tray won't open, eject not respond
      By sidocious
      Hi Friends,
      I'm here to ask your help again.
      My friend ask me to repair his xbox. When I opened it I seen the following.
      Xbox 1.6 with an MSI DVD/DVD RW drive. The dvd drive was soldered to the eject button's board. I do not know this type of DVD MOD cause I always use LG 8163B drive.
      So the plan was the following. Soldering in an Aladdin XT modchip and change this unknown DVD mod to other --> LG 8163B (it was tested in some other xboxes and worked well) and change the HDD to a bigger one.
      Okay, chip soldered in, works well. DVD drive changed to 8163B, and here is my problem, the eject button won't work. I can open the DVD tray only with the eject button of the 8163B. I not tested the eject button before the changes.
      I checked the traces on the motherborad with multimeter, everythings fine. I checked the Poweron/Eject board, there is no problem with it.
      So, if someone has any idea what I have to try to fix it, that would be great.
      Thank you in advance.
