 XBOX Problem (not 360)I figured since a lot of people here had old xbox's I would ask here first, but basically in a nut shell when I turn on my XBOX most of the time it will make this loud, I guess I would describe it as a "grinding noise". Sometimes I've even had to turn on and off my XBOX 5-10 times before it doesnt do it again on startup.

 Re: XBOX Problem (not 360)
 
 That's what I thought but I'm afriad to play a game while it does that. (dont know if it hurts the disc or what) Just spent 10 minutes off and on just now and it wont stop making the noise.Originally posted by DXZekeSounds like it's the Hard Drive being cranky.  Comment

 I had the exact same problem about three months ago. I tried everything to clean it and fix, following all kinds of online guides and stuff. Eventually I gave in and just bought a new one and I haven't had any problems since."You make your name in the regular season, and your fame in the postseason." - Clyde Frazier

 Re: XBOX Problem (not 360)
 
 That sucks, I think I would rather save up the money for a 360 though, rather than spend $130 on a current system and end up shelling out more money for a 360.Originally posted by ehhI had the exact same problem about three months ago.

 Re: XBOX Problem (not 360)
 
 I'm not really sure, I had a hard enough time dismantling and cleaning my system, I wouldn't dare try and put in a seperate HD. But if you're more technologically/electronically inclined than me then go for it.Originally posted by p2xgamersIf its the hard drive couldn't I just buy a cheap 10 GB one or something and put that in? (would be cheap too)
 
 
 And I also had to debate about dropping another $140 for a brand new Xbox or saving up for a 360, but IMO I don't think a 360 is worth a purchase yet or in the near future. But I only play sports games so I have a different opinion than most."You make your name in the regular season, and your fame in the postseason." - Clyde Frazier

 Re: XBOX Problem (not 360)
 
 Yeah I see what you mean, of course if I had the $400 + tax + warranty right now I'd get it, but I can't see myself saving up that kind of money for a while. Thanks again for the help.Originally posted by ehhI'm not really sure, I had a hard enough time dismantling and cleaning my system, I wouldn't dare try and put in a seperate HD.
