Hi David. When you say different disc drives do you mean DVD drives or HDD (hard) Drives..? If you are trying DVD drives the problem is that the DVD drive that comes fitted to your xbox will only work with that console... The DVD firmware works with the coded processor and they pair-up. If the main processor does a code check on your DVD drive and the firmware serial code is wrong then the console main processor will only allow you to play DVD movies and not games.

Hope this explains your problem, Let me know.

All the best

Clive
