so, after receiving my first xbox and it rroding I received another xbox brand new. I played it for all of 15 mintues when one of my friends came in my apartment and accidently kicked it. After receiving the kick it made this nice grinding sound and now it will not read a game disc, but will play dvds. so, I am taking this as a sign to not have an xbox. I think I am going to moce onto a wii. But I just wanted to thank you all for your support and answers.
