sometimes when i turn my 360 on or go to the dashboard after playing a game, i hear a loud screechy sound almost like a motor revving up. is my 360 scratching my disks? i dont see any huge noticeable scratches on my disks but i see little blemishes here and there, nothing that makes u gasp, and my games still work. what could it be?
you know i think i might be having the same problem. my 360 is sitting down down like it should flat. all the time while i play my games it just stops and i get the error about the disk not reading and being dirty and needing cleaned. it does this all the time. i just got mass effect so its a new game and rock band and i checked them and to my dismay there are noticable sratches on them. they are brand new and there should be none. i'm wondering if my 360 is sratching my disks too. i've heard this problem before.im just wondering if it's a bad drive going bad and if ms would replace my sratched disks cuz this is ridiculous.
i get that too... unless your not getting any error messages you should be fine and that sound isweird but i dont think it is necesarily scratching the disk.... i think it is either the hard drive or the fan slowing down.... either way not a big dead... if your disks get to scratched too bad just resurface them

I've heard those sounds before and thats what it was. I've had my 360 standing upright ever since i got it, and it hasnt made those noises unless it is tilted when running.
Its probably not necesarily 'scratching' them, its probably putting some slight laser burns in the disc though. A laser burn will look like a 'smudge' on the back of the disc, or rings of smudge like crap. And btw, laser burns are PERMANENT, they cannot be fixed with a disc cleaner kit.
Just make sure it is supported very well to where it won't shake or fall over, and you should be fine.
I noticed my brother has a similar problem with his Xbox. He had gotten the red ring of death, so Microsoft "fixed" it and sent it back. But now it's messing up his games to the point that they don't work. Way to go, Mirco.

I did the exact same thing I got the red ring and sent it in and they returned what appeared to be a brand new xbox. Now it's scratching and ruining my disks, and it takes about 6 or 7 tries to get it to read my brand new Resident Evil 5...
