I doubt you put all your games :). your XBOX 360 is probably hacked to play homebrew games. that happens when usually a new protection is enabled on newer games, every several months new protection is issued to restrict piracy. the only thing is to get it hacked with a newer DVD-ROM security override.

I put a new drive in my xbox 360 and it wont play games

every DVD drive is "married" to the motherboard. They both have a special key that keeps them together. Without that key the motherboard will not accept the DVD drive and it won't be able to play games ever again. You can extract the key from you old DVD drive and "spoof" it to the new one. That's the only way it'll work.

My xbox 360 says put game in xbox 360

your dvd drive is faulty this is either the laser or the complete drive you will have to open your 360 to find the make and model of your dvd and either replace the laser (available from ebay) or the whole dvd drive but the curcuit board on the dvd drive is coded to the xbox it is fitted to you will have to obtain a dvd drive the same make and model as the faulty one and swap circuit boards for it to work.

Played too many dvds on the xbox, now it says play dvd notplaygam

best thing to do is send it back in to microsoft, if you open the xbox 360 case you will void the warranty, and they wont bother helping you. If you have already voided the warranty, you can find xbox 360 dvd drives on ebay or craigslist for around 30$ USD. Only the drive alone, not a whole xbox
