I see that other people are having the same problem as myself. My xbox wont read a disk unless its already in the drive when i turn the xbox on, then within 20 min it freezes with no choice but to unplug it. Im courious if it is just a problem with the disk drive?

I started having problems with my xbox on Tuesday, March 30th, the day the CoD MW2 stimulus map pack came out. Upon downloading the map pack, my xbox started freezing after a few minutes of gameplay. After I start it up, the E 79 message comes up occassionally. It did not freeze with any of my other games so I bought a new disc at gamestop, but the problem still occurred (luckily I can take the disc back and get my money back within a week). On Friday, April 2, MLB 2k10 froze a couple of times as well… I tried calling xbox, but they wanted me to send my xbox in to them to have it repaired for a 99.99 charge… This will be the 3rd time i need to send my xbox back to microsoft (other time times was b/c RRoD. I want to make sure that this error is not because of my hard drive (in which case I would just purchase a new one) and that if that is not the problem I would prefer to fix it on my own. Can anyone help me with my problem?

My 360′s disk drive has been having problems sometimes with reading any disk. You could put a disk in there and it says open tray like there’s nothing. I’ve had it sent in for repair with the warranty I bought with it but it’s doing it again and I looked at the drive after getting it back. Where can I simply get another disk drive or can I fix it myself.
