If you don't want to mod it, I would write microsoft and complain like hell.

Out of curiosity, what is the warranty on the XBOX? Is it in line with the PS2 and Gamecube?

I think the warranty is 1 year, not 90 days as the above poster stated.

Im also having problems with my xbox
Getting dirty disc errors all the time, even on brand new titles. Gonna hit it with some cleaner, but if that doesnt work, can i replace the DVD-ROM?
Ive always wanted to toss a Raptor in there with a Serrillel adapter
Do you need a modchip to change the hardware? (id imagine you do)
If you do mod it, can you still use xbox live? I know this was an issue with the original mods, and that there are chips that can disable the mods with a switch now... but that would disable the hardware compatiblity as well wouldnt it?

After doing a little research, both XBOX and PS2 are 90 days, and Gamecube is 1 year. XBOX has an extended warranty availible that extends it to 2 years for $50.

well I have my original xbox hard drive. I believe you can restore the original software onto it, and it would work fine in an unmodded xbox. You want it?

IIRC, you can't do that - it has to do with locking and unlocking the hard drive. The keys are unique to that XBox's hardware. IE, his XBox will try to unlock the hard drive using his key. Yours is keyed differently. I think that's how it works, someone here can probably correct me. He'd need to mod it to properly unlock it, reload the software, then lock it again to use on his box. (It'd be as simple as borrowing a friend's chip)
well that's pretty retarded. All I remember is seeing an option for "reset default xbox dashboard", but I didn't read too much into it.Originally posted by: RagingBITCH

If that's the case, good luck. I'd just mod the damn thing, it's more than worth it as everyone here has already said
